5 Quick Home Exterior Upgrades to Boost Curb Appeal This Summer

Summer in Michigan is the perfect time to give your home a fresh new look. Whether you’re hosting backyard barbecues, planning to sell, or just want to fall back in love with your curb appeal—small exterior upgrades can make a huge difference.

At BC Exteriors, we believe you don’t have to do a full remodel to create a home that turns heads. Here are five simple, high-impact updates that will have your home looking sharp and summer-ready.

 

  1. Refresh or Repair Your Siding

If your siding is faded, cracked, or outdated, it’s one of the first things people notice. Even a basic power wash can work wonders, but if your siding is damaged or past its prime, we can help repair sections or replace it entirely with modern, low-maintenance options that boost both beauty and protection.

 

  1. Clean Up Your Roofline (Fascia, Soffits, and Trim)

The details matter. Peeling paint or warped trim around your roofline can age your home fast. Upgrading or repainting fascia and soffits gives your home a crisp, clean edge—and helps with ventilation, too. Need help? We do that.

 

  1. Update Your Gutters

Old, sagging, or mismatched gutters not only look bad, they can cause water issues. Sleek, seamless gutters in a color that matches your trim can make your whole exterior feel polished. Bonus: Ask us about gutter guards while we’re up there—less cleaning for you this fall.

 

  1. Accent With New Shutters or Decorative Trim

A few strategically placed accents can really elevate your home’s exterior. Think new shutters, decorative gable vents, or even a custom-built accent overhang. These small touches bring personality and charm—and they’re faster and more affordable than you might think.

 

  1. Give Your Entryway a Facelift

Your front door and porch area are like a welcome mat for your whole home. A fresh coat of paint on the door, updated lighting, or new house numbers can add instant appeal. We’ve even helped homeowners install new, energy-efficient doors that add both style and function.
