Did you get a nice chunk of change with your tax return? Consider using it for home improvement projects that will increase your home’s curb appeal. The examples below upgrades are all under $3,000.
Uses of Your Tax Return to Boost Your Home’s Exterior
1. Replace door No. 1
As one of the first things a potential buyer sees, your front door is vital to your home’s curb appeal. Buy a new door and spruce it up with shiny new knobs, locks and knockers. An energy-efficient door could help you save money on bills and will make you eligible for federal tax credits next year.
2. Refresh the garage
That dented garage door panel you no longer notice? Prospective buyers will. Two new garage doors will set you back slightly below $3,000 and do wonders for spiffing up your home’s exterior.
3. Get lit
Illuminating your walkway, installing motion-sensor lights or adding lighting fixtures that highlight your home’s architectural features or landscaping help your property look as appealing in the evening as it does during the day. Added light also helps keep your property secure.
4. Add outdoor living space
Decks and patios are among the top features buyers try to find. Use your refund to put in a stamped-concrete patio or even a small deck, and it’s much like adding another room to your home.
