Curb Appeal

$100: Rejuvenate a wood deck by applying a stain and sealant. You can also paint faded trim and shutters for a quick refresher.

$1,000: Boost curb appeal with a new entry door, attractive outdoor light fixture, elegant address numbers, and a new doormat.

$5,000: If your home’s exterior is extremely faded or peeling, consider having it painted.
