With all of the holiday lights and decoration finally put away for the year, odds are your home’s exterior is looking pretty plain. The cold dreary winter doesn’t help the situation but something needs to be done to liven things up a bit. Take one of the warmer days this winter and put a little effort into improving your home’s exterior. By making certain improvements, you can bring life back into your home’s exterior no matter how miserable Chicago’s weather may be! Four Seasons Home Services has a few ideas that may be just what your home needs.
Affordable Upgrades and Repairs:
- Line the Drive: Paving stones, decorative rocks, and brick can all be used to liven up an asphalt driveway. The installation is relatively simple, and Four Seasons has a variety of styles to choose from.
- Sidewalk Lighting: The sidewalk leading up to the doorway of your home is a great place to make improvements. Four Seasons can replace old cracked concrete or replace concrete with paving stones to bring a more elegant look to the front of the home. If your sidewalk is in good shape, you may want to consider adding decorative lighting. This will add new dimension to the home’s exterior and it doubles as a safety mechanism for those that may not be as steady on their feet.
- Replace the Garage Door: A dry old cracked garage door could be dragging down your home’s curb appeal. If the structure of the door is in good shape, Four Seasons can sand it down and add a fresh coat of paint. However, if the door has mechanical problems or has been dinged up or damaged, replacement may be a better option.
- Hardware Upgrade: Simply low cost upgrades like updating the hardware on your doors is a cost effective way to make a noticeable improvement.
- Custom Mailboxes: Does the mailman complain about your ancient mailbox? Have Four Seasons transform the way your home receives mail by building you a customized masonry mailbox. These beautiful creations will last for ages and they bring a new level of elegance to the exterior of the home.
