2 | April 11, 2019 | 22nd Century Media Home & Garden 22ndcenturymedia.com Lindholm Roofing helps make homes attractive Has your home lost its curb appeal? A neighbor across the street has been trying to sell her home for nearly three years now. Inside, it is beautiful: granite counter tops, hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces and updated bathrooms with the latest fixtures, and the list goes on. People who do the virtual tour, or eventually see the home’s interior, are duly impressed, and yet, no reasonable offers. Why? Even though she is in the real estate business, she broke a cardinal rule; just like people, your home makes a first impression, and it is the exterior that does it. It happens when others pull up a picture online or get a real time look from one’s driveway. In her case, maybe the peeling paint on the siding or missing and curling shingles have something to do with it. Or perhaps it is the porch that looks more like a deck. Not to overlook the chimney that needs rebuilding, the 90-foot asphalt driveway with a half dozen potholes or the missing overhead garage door. Let’s face it, improving or maintaining the exterior of your home is not a priority for many of us. It’s not “sexy” or very bragworthy to mention the “beautiful” new roof you just got, especially when your friends keep going on and on about their new bathrooms or kitchens. The choices of different exterior materials for the middleclass homeowner are much more limited when compared to selections for inside projects. For many people, there is just not much fun in picking out siding — and certainly little exercising or flexing of one’s creative muscle. And then, there may be a few other trials. You have likely heard horror stories of the window salesman who would not leave. Or perhaps you yourself were the victim of one whose aftershave or cologne lingered in your kitchen for days. Or you may have had the experience of hearing these words from the foreman: “It’s no problem, I will fix.” Taking care of the outside of one’s home is more a need or a necessity than a want or desire. It is very utilitarian to make sure your gutters drain properly, the roof does not leak or your windows are not wasting your heating dollars. And yet, there is a certain majesty in the simplicity of an exterior project well done. You can feel it when you pull into your driveway that first week or two after its completion. Whether it is your pride as a conscientious homeowner or just the relief of having handled a long- standing problem, it is a good feeling. And if you are new to choosing a contractor, or completing a project of this sort, do not worry — you are in good hands. Lindholm Roofing desires to give you this feeling: to make your exterior remodeling or replacement project go right.
