Frugal Facade Facelift

Affordable suggestions for this facade? (removing the doors to the right of the home). Installing a large window under the gable. Other ideas to make this look fresh and inviting? This is a reno that will sell for around $125k in the Indianapolis market.

    Beef up the porch posts before you paint. Edge the lawn and plant some blooming roses along the front of the house . Add shutters to the two leftmost windows.

    Recoat the asphalt driveway and make its edges straight and snappy.

    Love these ideas. Sound inexpensive, too! Suggestions for shutter/door color?

    I would not add shutters but would apply substantial trim around windows. As for door color, are you planning to paint the entire exterior or just the door.

    Hi traceynix!


    I recommend removing the doors on the right side of the house and replacing them with large windows. Give the exterior a new color paint and that will help a lot with curb appeal.
