Homeowners must consider several factors when planning an exterior home remodel – and curb appeal tops the list, according to a recent CertainTeed survey. When asked which factor was most important to an exterior remodel, 39 percent of respondents cited curb appeal, followed by 26 percent naming return on investment and 21 percent indicating outdoor living and lifestyle considerations."In home design, there is an increased interest in individualization and creativity – true for both interior and exterior design," says Mike Loughery, CertainTeed. "We've found that homeowners want healthy, energy-efficient homes that offer complete comfort and curb appeal, but don't always know the best way to start."
Here, CertainTeed names the best home investments that can help meet curb appeal, return on investment and outdoor living goals:
- Better Insulation
- Cool Roofing
- Solar Panels
- Geothermal Heating/Cooling Solutions
- Low-Maintenance Vinyl Siding, Decking and Railing
- Patios/Gazebos
- Outdoor Kitchens
