Are you loving your neighborhood, but not your home? Have you outgrown the place or become tired of the style? These may be a few of the reasons that a home needs a makeover. There are several options for changing up your home.
Raise the Roof
One proven way to change the look and usability of your home is to add a second story, change the pitch of the roof or even add a few dormers. This is a good way to not only update your home, but also to add a couple more bedrooms or a home office without extending onto the property.

Curb Appeal
Bring your yard and entrance up to snuff with a few simple steps. Get your lawn treated for weeds and keep it watered and neatly trimmed. Add pots or plantings of colorful flowers to add texture and variety, but try not to overdo the tchotchkes. Paint your front door in a fresh color and update your light fixtures.
Facelift
Change up your exterior surfaces. Brick can be stained or painted to modernize the look of your home. You can apply new siding or even apply stucco over it, and over most other surfaces. Add fresh eaves and rain gutters to clean up the edges. Opt for new shutters and trim around windows. Apply stacked stone or split cobble stone over a boring chimney.
Add a Porch or Deck
Expand your outdoor living space with a back deck large enough for several people just small enough for yourself. Or consider an attractive covered front porch where you can sit and chat or read a book.
No matter how you slice it, a change is exciting and can improve your lifestyle and attitude. Look around your place and consider what you can do to love your home again.
