A few years ago, I bought the ugliest home in my neighborhood. The Curb Appeal, in particular, was horrible - so I decided to do something about it. In this video, I am going to show you how I transformed the curb appeal of this fixer-upper with various DIY projects.

Please note that I have detailed videos for all of the projects included in this DIY Curb Appeal Transformation video and I will link them down below.

This curb appeal transformation started off with a handful of cosmetic upgrades. First, I power washed the entire home and I replaced all of the broken pieces of siding. Next, I removed the old abandoned metal chimney and painted the entire house using a paint sprayer. Once the house was painted, I replaced the shutters and switched out the old front door with a new one. These cosmetic projects definitely improved the look of the home, but there was still a ton of work needed.

Next, I decided to completely revamp the front entryway. I started by removing the old metal railing and then I resurfaced the concrete steps using a concrete resurfacing product. After that, I demolished the old entry sidewalk and I poured a new concrete landing and curved sidewalk that connected the driveway to the steps leading up to the house. I then replaced the old railing with a new wire railing system.

Once the front entryway projects were completed, I turned my attention to the garden and landscaping. I decided to build a concrete landscaping edging to help separate my lawn from my garden. I build the forms using 2"x6" lumber and poured all of the concrete by hand. Next, I installed weed barrier fabric, planted a few evergreen shrubs, and filled the new garden area with black mulch. Once the concrete garden curb was complete, I applied topsoil to the lawn and planted new grass seed. Unfortunately, however, the grass did not grow in nearly as well as I would have liked.

And for the final project in my Curb Appeal Transformation, I decided to build a gable porch overhang over the front door. Although this architectural improvement was pretty involved for a DIY project, I think it had (by far) the most dramatic effect on the overall transformation of my home.

Please let me know what you think of the DIY Curb Appeal Transformation! I would love to get your feedback on your favorite project, your least favorite project, etc.
