How To Add Instant Curb Appeal To Your Home

Katelyn Lewis • October 3, 2022

How can you update your home's curb appeal?


Replace your siding, Retex's Katelyn Lewis recommends.

Katelyn shared her expertise for a Real Homes article on how to instantly update your home's curb appeal, and was featured in the second idea out of 11 on the list.


Here's what Katelyn had to say: 


Consider replacing siding for a fresh design. "Replacing your siding not only improves your home’s exterior defense against Mother Nature, it also boosts the value of your home by creating a greater curb appeal and refreshing your home’s overall façade," says Katelyn Lewis, co-owner of Retex Roofing & Exteriors in Richmond, VA.


"When considering what siding you may want for your home, keep in mind the maintenance required to preserve it, its environmental impact, and your climate zone,’ she recommends. "For example, wood siding is eco-friendly, but requires more maintenance than other siding options on the market. Meanwhile, metal siding is gaining popularity with its easy installation process, extreme durability, and little-to-no maintenance, but it offers little insulation and is not soundproof. 


"Vinyl siding offers both an easy installation product and the most affordable siding product on the market today. It also comes with low maintenance costs, only needing a power wash every five years or so to keep it looking pristine."
