HOW IMPROVING YOUR EXTERIOR CAN BRING VALUE TO YOUR HOUSE
As you likely know, the right upgrades can do a lot to increase your home's value. Some owners make the mistake of focusing on only interior upgrades when your exterior is what people will see first. From a local roofing company to lighting experts, here are ways your exterior can help you build home value.
UPGRADING YOUR ROOFING SYSTEM
A quality roof looks beautiful from the outside and can protect your interior from damage. Protection begins with timely repairs or the new installation of quality materials that resist leaks. According to the home experts at Bob Vila, a metal or slate roof can add value to your home because these materials last from 40 to 70 years. These materials also protect your home thanks to their Grade A fire safety rating and ability to withstand winds up to 140 mph. A new asphalt shingle or tile roof lasts about 20 years and comes in several colors and styles to fit your home theme. Plus, asphalt is the most popular type of American roof material, so the chances are high that an appraiser or a home buyer will also like it.
REFRESHING YOUR SIDING
Siding is the exterior material that protects your external walls. Your siding can come in several materials, like stone, wood, brick, fiberglass, and more. According to statistics from Costimates, a new stone veneer siding installation can result in an average ROI of 102.3%.

MAINTAINING YOUR GUTTERS
Your local roofing company may also be able to help you with your gutter installation or protection. After all, gutters are part of your roofing system and protect it from water damage. Gutters usher water away from your roof and siding, which helps them maintain their aesthetic quality and function. Your gutters don't have to be boring, as they can also fit within your exterior trim color and design.
KEEPING HOLIDAY LIGHTS IN MIND
You don't have to wait until the holiday season to benefit from residential exterior lights. While having a beautiful Christmas light display can bring attention to your home, you can maintain that feeling by having protective and decorative lights year-round. A good light system adds to your home security and highlights certain features and structures. Your exterior lights can highlight your walkways, greenhouse, gazebo, guest house, swimming pool, etc.
As you can see, exterior upgrades bring great value, aesthetics, and protection to your home. From stone siding to entryway lights to gutters, you can have exterior upgrades that make your home stand out on the block.
