Tips for How to Improve the Front of Your House
The façade of your home is the first thing guests see when they visit so it’s important that it looks beautiful and makes a good first impression. From our years of experience renovating the exteriors of homes, we have some tips you can use if you’ve been thinking about improving the front of your home.
Custom Details
Do you wish your home had more “you”? Nothing turns a house into a home more than custom home details do! Personalizing your home’s façade can include anything from new porch railings to architectural columns to an arched marquee above the front door. The Wentworth team has added all kinds of custom details to the exterior of homes—even a custom wall mural! Feel free to view our custom details photo gallery to see specific projects we have completed.
Modern Touches
If your home is outdated and you want a more contemporary look for the façade, here are a few things you can do to modernize it:
- Large (even floor-to-ceiling) windows
- Porch with modern furniture
- New siding
- Sharp angles and lines that complement the contemporary style
New Siding
New siding on a home goes a long way. Have a period style home and want siding that is true to that particular era? For example, on Colonial Revival homes, clapboard—or paintable, cementitious wood that resembles hardwood but lasts longer—lends authenticity. A mix of different materials is an element of the bungalow style (we’ve used a combination of aluminum siding and siding with a board-and-batten look).
