You've heard that when it comes to looks, age is just a number – but does the same go for your house? We think so! The best part about giving your house a facelift is that you don't need to go all "Botox crazy" on it to bring back that youthful glow. All you need to do is give a little TLC to the exterior.
Here's how to make your house look 10 years younger:1. Focus on the front door. Your front door is literally the gateway to your home, so dress it up. First,repair and replace any old or tarnished door hardware. Then clean off any dirt from the door's exterior and add a fresh layer of paint. Your door will appreciate the royal treatment. 2. Touch up exterior paint. For people, old age brings wisdom and experience. Not so much when it comes to exterior paint. Ignoring worn-out paint exposes your siding to the elements, which can cause warping and sun or water damage. Take a walk around the house and look for chipping, flaking or peeling paint. If you see any, do a quick touch up with your home's original paint colors. More tips: https://brightnest.com/posts/how-to-make-your-house-look-10-years-younger
