THE DRIVEWAYBecause it is big, dark and usually takes up significant portion of the property in front of your home, a driveway can affect a buyer's first impressions. If yours is in good condition, make sure you keep it swept and neatly edged where it meets the lawn. If yours is cracked, buckled or oil stained, fix it. Patching concrete can be a problem because matching color is difficult; tar and asphalt are relatively easy to match. Whatever you do , be careful you do not create a bigger problem through quick-fix solutions. Use high quality patching materials and sealers.
DECKS AND PATIOS
These can be popular additions that add value, especially with smaller homes, because they add living space. Make sure whatever you do is consistant with your home's architectural style and integrates well with your outdoors areas.
THE GARAGE
If you garage has that rough, unfinished look, consider drywall and matching switch and outlet plates. At a minimum, make sure all switches and outlets work and give everything a good cleaning.
