Recent studies show that high-quality, professional looking landscaping can add 5-10% percent to a home’s asking price. Where to start? Best to start simple. Clean up what you have. Here’s a quick guide to a fresh looking home exterior.

1. Weed, Edge and Mulch Beds. Start by weeding existing beds. Then add a three inch layer of mulch to all beds to create a colorful, fresh look. Mulch helps hold in moisture, so your plants and shrubs will than you later. Cut fresh edges where grass meets the mulch for a more professional look.

2. Fertilize Your Lawn. For lush, green grass your neighbors will envy, start regular fertilizer treatments and continue with a regular weed & feed schedule each season.  Try and popular brand like Scott’s that is easy to apply. Spend a little extra money to buy a spreader, which quickly and evenly distributes fertilizer over your lawn.

3. Add a Pop of Color. For about $2 per plant, you add colorful petunias, begonias and impatiens to accent sidewalks and beds.

4. Trim Trees & Shrubs. Cut back dead limbs or old growth to encourage new growth. A clean, trimmed landscape looks much more appealing than out of control trees and shrubs.

5. Improve Your Entry. The first thing your guests see is the entrance to your home. If the door is made of wood and in good shape, then a new coat of paint or refinishing it may be enough. But if you have a steel door and you notice it is dented, replace it with a new inexpensive steel door, a fiberglass door or upgrade to a nice wood grain door. Installing a new door can give you home a secure and updated appearance.

6. Check Your Roof.  Your roof is a major part of your home’s exterior and highly visible when passing by.  If your roof has torn or missing shingles, it might be time for a roof repair or new roof. Most roofs last 15-20 years. Installing a new roof on your Indiana home will not only spruce up your home’s exterior, it’s an important part of weatherproofing and saving energy on utilities.

Consider talking with a professional landscaper or home improvement company for more ways on updating your home’s landscape and exterior and improving the curb appeal. Many of these improvements will also help increase the value of your home and make it easier to sell.

A Harvard University study estimates that Americans spend an average of $160 billion for home remodeling projects each year. A year ago, many remodeling jobs returned 80 percent of their cost or more when the owner sold the house, but those numbers are changing.

Some of the most profitable renovations, such as an upscale vinyl residing, actually paid off more – 103.6 percent – more than they cost. In the Middle Atlantic States, vinyl siding replacement returns 92.3 percent of its cost, well above the national average of 87.2 percent, while in the Southwest the same job returns just 80.9 percent of the cost. That makes residing your home the most profitable home renovation.

Other profitable renovations included midrange kitchen remodels, which paid off 91.7 percent, and vinyl window replacement, which paid off 89.6 percent, making it the third best remodeling investment.

The least profitable renovation – a home office remodel, which only recoups only 63.4 percent of its cost.
