At Lyons & Island TIMBER MART, we believe the outside of your home should be just as inviting as the inside. Whether you're thinking about selling or simply want to take pride in your property, curb appeal plays a significant role in how your home is perceived. There are several impactful (and often simple) updates you can make to your home exterior that will instantly elevate your curb appeal: 1. Pave the Way A well-designed path does more than lead guests to your front door – it creates structure, elegance, and visual flow. Swapping out worn concrete for modern paving stones can dramatically enhance your yard’s look. Choose from various shapes, colours, and patterns to suit your home’s style. See us in-store to special order the perfect pavers for your front entrance. 2. Refresh Your Entry Door While you can always replace your entry door, there are multiple ways you can create a fresh new look for half the price. Consider painting your front door a bright colour, or modern navy, and replacing the door hardware with a stylish handleset. Add the finishing touches with a smart doorbell and a new doormat. If space permits, add a bench and some planters. 3. Enhance Your Exterior with New Siding or Stone Veneer Worn-out or faded siding can make your entire home look tired. Replacing it with new Gentek Vinyl Siding or James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding can improve your curb appeal while boosting your home’s energy efficiency. If you’re looking for something extra, add stone veneer or panelized stone siding to columns, porch walls, or around the base of your home for a touch of luxury and texture. Mixing materials can provide a custom, designer look. Our team of experts can help you choose the right siding and stone combination for your home. 4. Add Exterior Lighting Exterior lighting does more than illuminate your home – it can add style, security and warmth. Consider installing pathway lights along walkways, uplighting to highlight trees or architectural details, and stylish sconces or pendant lighting near your front door. Solar-powered lighting is a convenient, temporary solution. 5. Replace Your Roof The roof is one of the most prominent and visible parts of your home’s exterior. If you can see missing or warped shingles, or your roof is discoloured, or outdated, it’s time to take action. Replacing your roof will boost your curb appeal, increase your home’s resale value and protect your home from weather damage. We recommend BP Canada shingles or Ideal Roofing steel shingles or steel panels in colours that complement your siding and landscape. Whether you tackle one project or several, each update will add value and beauty to your home.
