Choosing a bold or welcoming color for your front door—paired with clean trim—can instantly modernize your home’s look. Add a new handle set and door knocker for a full upgrade. According to a Zillow research, painting your front door a luxurious black may increase the value by $6,450! That’s a significant ROI!
3. Upgrading the Mailbox, House Numbers, and Lighting
Cost: $300–$600
These little touches communicate that your home is well cared for. Modern fixtures and clear house numbers add style, and updated lighting helps with safety and nighttime curb appeal. If you’re numbers are weather worn, please do your heart a favor and experience the peace that replacement brings.
