You can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a home by its exterior. And with warmer weather comes thoughts of outdoor home improvement projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking to boost your house\u2019s curb appeal this season, think about adding color from top to bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHomeowners shouldn\u2019t be afraid of color. Contrasting colors, complementary colors and color accents on a home, when done right, can all add tremendously to the curb appeal of a house,\u201d says national color expert Kate Smith, CMG and owner of Sensational Color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This season Smith is offering some top-to-bottom tips to homeowners ready for bold change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The roof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your roof appears old and dingy, is leaking or wearing thin, it\u2019s time to research replacement options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSelecting roofing colors that complement the rest of the home helps your eye move from the top down,\u201d says Smith. If you\u2019re overwhelmed by the choices, a free \u201cFRESH Exteriors Color\u201d guide is available for download at www.sensationalcolor.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The windows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re looking for low-maintenance vinyl replacement or new construction windows, add a splash of color to complement your home\u2019s exterior and interior as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A bold color contrast, like red window frames against crisp white trim pieces is a classic eye-catching look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA window is like a two-sided canvas,\u201d says Smith. \u201cThe colors on the frame exteriors enhance the home\u2019s overall appearance from the street. And, when you get inside and select stylish woodgrain frame interiors, you\u2019re adding beauty to the room settings. That\u2019s a \u2018win-win\u2019 experience for any homeowner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The door<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The door to your house should make a statement. A door with a smooth paintable surface, made with low-maintenance fiberglass, allows you to make a new statement as often as you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To further enhance the entryway to your home, consider installing decorative glass inserts in the door. Then, flank the door with a set of easy-to-install Fypon urethane pilasters, a stylish crosshead and pediment. Resistant to moisture, insects, rot and humidity, both the urethane trim and fiberglass entry door are great low-maintenance solutions to adding curb appeal for the home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a home by its exterior.
