23 Improvements for Your Home Ready In Under an Hour

19. Add solar lights to your garden.

Hey, your outdoor area needs some attention too! Forget all the cables and extensions and add a bit of light with a handful of solar lighting. These are, by far, the easiest things to install on our list. All you need to do is push them into the ground as their spikes as typically quite sturdy- no need for a shovel!

If you have a bit of path in your outdoor area, say one that leads to and from your BBQ area, these will be perfect, especially if you like hosting late-night parties with your friends and family.

20. Upgrade your gutter trim.

Just admit it, when was the last time you paid any attention to your gutter trim? This is one of the things people forget about most often which is why adding a fresh layer of paint to them will immediately make your whole home looked after and loved.

In order to achieve maximum curb appeal grab some paint and a ladder, put on your headphones to listen to some music or an audiobook while you’re at it. An hour will go by in no time but your house will look like it’s brand new.

This is also an effective tool if you’re looking to sell your house. Potential buyers will note the extra care you’ve put in looking over the details so they might excuse smaller problems that won’t appeal to them.

21. Pressure wash your siding.

Remember, cleaning your house means more than vacuuming, dusting and putting away dishes! Give the outside of your home the same amount of love that you give your furniture and all your neighbors will be green with envy when they see just how beautiful you can make everything look with a bit of pressure cleaning.

Naturally, you’ll have to stop by Home Depot first for a pressure washer and some chemical solution in order to kill mildew, mold or any other kinds of organic matter. Just remember that once you’re done you should rinse your sidings with clean water.

And if you don’t think this’ll make a difference then we recommend looking at a few pressure cleaning clips on the internet. They’re so satisfying to watch but, believe us, they’re ten times more satisfying to do yourself.
