As rental property owners, most of the time we consider implementing improvements in amenities and interiors. But most of us overlook one key area – the curb appeal of your property. Making some small but smart upgrades to the exterior can make a big impact. It can be the best marketing investment that you can make for your rental property.
What Is Curb Appeal?
Curb appeal means how your property looks from the outside. It includes everything from the facade to the color and even the garden and pavements around your space. All of these add up to make the first impression.
Why Curb Appeal Matters?
Curb appeal is more than just aesthetics, it defines how people see your property at first glance. It’s about creating a welcoming first impression that boosts property value and attracts quality tenants. A welcoming exterior not only draws in potential buyers or tenants, but it also sets a positive tone for their entire experience.
Tips To Boost Your Property’s Curb Appeal
1. Balcony Compliance & Upgrades
You might have heard of Balcony Laws SB721 and SB326. To ensure compliance with these new laws, schedule balcony inspections and make any upgrades if needed. Ensure your balconies are not only up-to-date with the latest safety regulations but also aesthetically pleasing.
Our experienced team at McMillin Contracting Services can help you with inspections and renovations that enhance both the safety and the appeal of your outdoor spaces.

2. Fresh Paint
Paint the exteriors whenever needed. A new coat of paint is the easiest way to give your property a quick makeover. It can help cover up minor wear and tear and at the same time give the place a fresh look and feel.
3. Add Some Greens
Plants add a peaceful vibe to your space. Maintaining a lawn or planting decorative plants like flowers or bushes can make your property look put together and well maintained.
4. Clean and Maintained Windows
Windows add to the facade of your property. So if you have broken window panes or old and creaky looking shutters, it might dull your property’s appearance. Make sure you get the windows repaired or replaced.
5. Pavements and Garage
Don’t ignore the walkways and outdoor flooring. Broken pavements make your property look old and neglected. This can form a faulty first impression on potential tenants.
6. Safety Upgrades For Entry
Safety is always a top priority for tenants. Upgrade the entry with advanced security systems and ensure your property meets the latest fire safety standards. This can make your property a top choice for safety-conscious renters.
7. Other Enhancements
Make coming home feel special. Upgrade entryways, mailboxes, and sidewalks with attractive lighting and decorations.
