4 Concrete Ideas to Strengthen Your Home's Appeal

Who doesn't strive to have the best looking house in the neighborhood? Of course, you want all your neighbors doing double takes of your gorgeous landscaping and wishing they had a great looking curb appeal like your home does. Well, that dream to be the envy of the neighborhood isn't too far from reality. We've got 4 concrete ideas to strengthen your home's appeal. Check them out!


1. Dress Up The Driveway
If your driveway is an eye sore and even worse to drive on, it may be time to think about replacing it with a more sturdy, longer lasting one. By installing a concrete driveway, not only will you prolong the life and use of your driveway, but you'll create a beautiful eye-catching addition to your home's landscaping. You can even get a stamped design done to add definition and style that will have your neighbors envious!

2. Build a Walkway
When you invite family, friends, and neighbors over you don't want them tripping over their own feet while walking to your door step. You can avoid trip hazards, by having your walkway redone in concrete. Not only will it be safer to walk on than pavers or bricks, but it will look better too! Plus it's much easier to maintain since grass and weeds won't be growing through like they would if your walkway were brick.

3. Create a garden
Gardens add a welcoming feel and colorful curb appeal to any home exterior, quickly and affordably. By adding a few concrete retainer walls to differentiate the lawn from your garden area, you'll create a beautiful and dynamic setting that will draw the eye and add color and beauty to your landscaping. You can even choose pavers or stain to match or offset your home's exterior to make an even bigger statement!

4. Add Outdoor Art
Give your yard a little spunk and curb appeal by adding weather-resistant artwork. Choose pieces that complement your home's natural palette and exterior elements. Birdbaths, fire pits, fountains or fish ponds are good choices for outdoor art. Water sculptures not only function as yard art, but the burbling sounds soothe and make hot days feel cooler. Place fountains on level ground in optimum hearing and sight vantage points. Just add a gorgeous concrete patio, and your outdoor living area will be complete and ready for entertaining!

However you choose to improve your home's appeal, make sure to go with concrete as your material choice for a longer lasting, more beautiful outcome!

Preventive Maintenance to Protect Your Home's Foundation

Out of sight and out of mind - the foundation is the most important, yet most overlooked part of your home. Most homeowners don't think about foundation maintenance until an issue arises. By that time, it could be an expensive repair. So, to help homeowners like yourself prevent expensive foundation repairs , we're sharing with you some preventative maintenance items to check to protect your home's foundation and your wallet! Look Out for Plumbing Issues Catching leaks early can save you tens of thousands of dollars down the road. Leaks behind the walls and under the floors aren't just bad for the foundation; they can also destroy other parts of the home. Pooling water, moldy walls and low-faucet pressure are all obvious signs of plumbing issues, but some leaks aren't so conspicuous. If you're not familiar with the plumbing in your home, it may be worth it to have a professional come in to check out your system to ensure there aren't any leaks, especia...

These days, there are tons of folks out there looking to make a quick dollar who claim to be professional contractors who can take care of all of your home repair needs. Unfortunately though, only about half of those contractors actually have the experience and knowledge it takes to get the job done correctly and efficiently. The last thing we want to see anyone do is to hire a contractor in good faith only to receive poor quality work and have to call in another professional to fix the work.

5 Things You NEVER Want to See on an Inspection Report

Image
When you're selling a home, there are a lot of emotions going through your mind: excitement about finally getting a great offer and having serious buyers interested in your home, eager to get it over with and start moving on with your life, nervous because it's the first home you've ever bought and your family has made so many memories here, and probably stress from all that's involved with the whole selling process. One emotion you don't want to feel during what should be an exciting time in your life though, is fear. Unfortunately, when it comes to the inspection period and receiving that report back with all that could potentially be wrong with your home that may break the deal, can be extremely frightening if you're not sure what to expect. Here's a list of 5 things you NEVER want to see on an inspection report: 1.
