When you let Sandia Green Clean take care of the inside of your home, you have more time to work on other parts of your house – like finally tackling those to-do projects in your front yard. The curb appeal of your home is important. It’s the first impression your home makes when people come to visit. It’s also a sure-fire way to boost the value of your home – and your neighbors’. A neighborhood filled with homes that look great from the street makes everyone happy to come home. And that’s what Sandia Green Clean is all about.

Here are three ways to quickly up your home’s curb appeal:

• Paint Your Front Door: Changing the color of your front door is an instant way (and easy way) to make your home look and feel more appealing. The color you choose should be one that feels cheery and also one that takes into consideration the style of your home and other colors, such as the stucco or brick. Red, yellow, and blue are all popular colors for statement-making front doors.

• Add Pots of Flowers:

Even just one large pot of beautiful flowers can make your house feel and look like home. Investing in a nice size pot allows you to change your flowers with the seasons. For guidance on what to plant now, visit our awesome local nurseries here in Albuquerque. They’ll set you up with a selection that works for your home and personal needs. Our favorites are:

Adding or changing the lighting in front of your house makes a huge difference in visual aesthetics. From solar lights to lanterns, sconces by your garage door or even hanging lights, this element can instantly make your home look taken care of and inviting. Spending time outside working on your house is a rewarding project – and it’s good for you too!

Questions about curb appeal

What color should I paint my front door?
Choose a color that feels cheery and fits the style of your home. Look at the colors already around it, such as your stucco or brick, so the door works with them rather than against them. Red, yellow and blue are all popular choices for a front door that makes a statement.
Where can I buy plants for my front porch in Albuquerque?
Our local nurseries can help you pick what to plant for the season and what suits your home. The ones we named as favorites in this post are Jericho Nursery, Alameda Nursery, Osuna Nursery, Plants of the Southwest and Plant World. A nice size pot lets you swap flowers as the seasons change.
How can a house cleaning service help with curb appeal?
We do not work on your yard, but we do give you the time for it. Our trained teams clean the inside of your home with green products and no harsh chemicals, so your free hours can go to painting the door or planting pots. Every clean is a deep clean, and there are no contracts. Request a free estimate to get started.
