Your garage door takes up a large spot of your home’s facade, so keeping it attractive looking, or even beautiful, is of primary importance for not just your personal experience of your home’s aesthetic ambiance, but also it’s monetary ‘curb appeal.’ Here’s a guide on how to beautify your home garage as prepared by the experts at Metro GDS Inc Garage Door & Gates.

PRESSURE WASHING

First, clean your garage door with a power washer – this removes the deep set players of stubborn dirt and grime that inevitably accumulate on all garage doors. You can either hire a professional to come to your location and do it if you’re feeling lazy, or you can simply do it yourself.

FIX CRACKS OR BROKEN BRICKS

Weather and constant use can quickly degrade the quality of your garage. Repair pavers or broken bricks in order to transform a shoddy looking driveway into an attractive and renovated brand new countenance. If the driveway of your home cracks, reseal them by filling in the cracks.

BORDERS

Add a customized border to your driveway determined by what’s already there – consider a border of pavers or bricks in different colors, or even more complicated and baroque two-toned color system.

CONCRETE STAINING

If your driveway is made of concrete, stain it for an even more attractive appearance. In order to do so you need to make sure that there’s no oil or other coatings or cracks on your garage.

LANDSCAPING

Hire a professional green thumb or work yourself to add flower beds along your driveway. We recommend perennials as by doing so you won’t have to worry about replanting them next year, as they live for over two years. By using annuals, you can upgrade your driveway flower color scheme every year. However, we don’t recommend using biennial flowers as they only blossom every two years, and will only be stems the entire first year you plant it.

MAILBOXES

By getting a decorative or artistically beautiful mailbox, you can set your front lawn apart from the others in your area, drawing attention to your beautiful driveway. There’s tons of materials, colors, and finishes available – so simply look into your options, and choose from your heart’s desire on how the frontwards aesthetic of your home will look.

LIGHTING

Lighting is a great way to draw attention to an elegant facade and driveway of a home, not to mention a great way of keeping your home safe. Consider installing pagoda lights in the grass on the side of your home, or even install lights directly into the pavers on the sides of the highway for a cozy, magical, and aesthetically pleasing view that will greet anybody as they approach your home.
