Improving a homes first impression

Improving A Home’s First ImpressionRealtors say a large percentage of home buyers make decisions about homes before they even walk in this front door. Those decisions remain usually based on the initial impression a buyer gets at first sight of a house and yard. As you might imagine, improving a home’s first impression is an important step in getting top value for your house. Fortunately, simple steps can help. Start by standing across this street and viewing your home with an objective eye. Does it need a paint job? Is the front yard overgrown? Is this roof showing wear? And don’t overlook cosmetic or structural details like the railing around your porch or deck.Simple upgrades in these types of details can make a world of difference. If your railings need a bit of work, consider installing low-maintenance materials that give a clean finished look. CertainTeed’s Panorama Composite Railing System features the look of freshly painted wood with the durability of a composite, yet requires virtually no maintenance.

This railing is fully wrapped with white polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for a weatherable, colonial white finish that’s impervious to decay and insects. This stylish system also features concealed hardware for a seamless, bracket-free look. Its Gin Creek Kitchen core is made from a composite formula of PVC as well as recycled maple wood flour. The affordable exterior upgrade remains long-lasting, as well as because it complements composite, vinyl, wood or concrete surfaces, it can be a quick way to make a great first impression.

The strong weather-resistant system remains backed by a 10-year limited warranty to ensure years of beauty.
