1 – Build a New Shed

Anchor one corner of your property with a new shed. This will not only give you a place to store your lawn and garden equipment and your patio furniture in the off season, but also free up space in your garage.

2 – New Landscaping

Trim dead or overgrown branches from trees to prevent them from causing storm damage that requires home repairs and shingle replacement. Remove older shrubs from foundation plantings and replace with a weed barrier, landscaping rock, and smaller well-spaced plants to prevent dampness and pest infestation.

3 – Exterior Painting

Freshen the look of your home’s exterior with a new paint job. Or maybe it’s time to go maintenance-free with new siding. In either case, choose a color that appeals to the widest range of possible buyers for when it comes time to sell.

4 – New Windows

Replacing windows can make your home look newer. Another perk: ongoing savings in heating and cooling costs.

5 – Roof Repair or Shingle Replacement

Roof Repair Costs

Weather damage from storm and sun means that a shingle roof inspection is a yearly necessity. Keeping your roof in top condition prevents costly damage from becoming a problem.

6 – New Driveway
