Simple Add Ons to Increase Curb Appeal

Fresh Paint
A fresh coat of paint does wonders for the look of your home. It's like putting on the Sunday best for first impressions. The house appears cleaner overall. Go for a neutral if you can, although many homes in the area are a traditional Florida pastel. If your home looks good in yellow or turquoise, go for it. Otherwise, stay close to neutral or the original color to spruce it up a bit.Power Wash
Next up, power washing. Even if you can't get your home painted, power washing will get off the pollen and other stains. Power wash the home, the fences, the driveway, and the sidewalks as needed.
Tree Trimming
Not something you normally think of when considering curb appeal, but trimming the trees and bushes around the house is like getting a fresh haircut. Do things such as clearing dead branches, removing moss from ornamentals, and pruning vines and small trees such as crepe myrtles. Lawn and Garden
Keep the yard mowed and add in fresh mulch or stones as needed. Consider hiring a full-service lawn care to keep up with the yard.Plants and Flowers
This is usually the first thing home sellers think of when trying to increase the curb appeal. But you should only do this if you can keep up with cleaning, watering, and pruning the flowers. Consider doing a few planters around the front door, but don't feel the need to go overboard.
