7 Ways to Update Your Home with Outdoor Living Products

It’s good to know that there are immediate projects that home owners can endeavor in to potentially increase the value and aesthetic appeal of your existing residential Southwest Florida property.
Many projects that you should consider are not going to break the bank. They’ll add value to your outdoor space and you’ll enjoy the improvement.

We have compiled this list so that you can assess for yourself which products and outdoor living projects may be right for you, given your budget and time commitment. Our suggestions include projects that we can either customize for your home, or assist you with in your Do-It-Yourself venture.

1. Concrete Repairs and New Pavers– Unsightly cracks and heaves are not only an eyesore, they can be a hazard to friends and visitors. You wouldn’t want your grandmother tripping over a heave in your driveway paver, that’s for sure! Allowing a team of professionals to come in and easily repair or replace your concrete and/or pavers can be done quickly and provide results that you will notice as a car first pulls in your drive.

2. Power Washing the Exterior and Roof– Weathering and the beating of our Florida sun fades paint color over time and inhibits the growth of mold and algae. Your tile or asphalt roof and the exterior of your home should be power sprayed to allow you to see what lies underneath and bring out the sparkle again. Don’t forget to wash the gutters out, the windows and the garage doors at this time also. Power Spraying may reveal that it’s time to paint your home, which can be another great project. This is also a service that we provide.

3. Landscaping for Curb Appeal– Could you benefit from new sod, palm trimming and re-mulching? If so, there’s no better time than the present. Almost anytime is the right time to landscape in Southwest Florida! You only get one chance to make a lasting first impression and landscaping is a great way to enhance your home.
