From the sidewalk to the front door, we’ll make sure your property’s first impression is irresistible.

A few strategic enhancements can mean more buyers, faster offers, and a higher sale price.

Why Curb Appeal Matters

Buyers decide in seconds whether a home feels inviting. We make those seconds count. A property with strong curb appeal doesn’t just look good—it:


  • Attracts more buyers
  • Sells faster
  • Commands a higher price (studies suggest homes with strong curb appeal can sell for up to 7% more on average).


It’s the difference between a buyer driving past… and a buyer walking in with excitement.

Curb Appeal Enhancements We Provide

We focus on small, high-impact changes that completely transform how buyers see your property:


  • Exterior Painting or Touch-Ups – Refresh the facade, trim, or front door with modern colours.
  • Front Door Upgrade – Replace the door or add stylish new hardware for a welcoming entrance.
  • Entrance Makeover – New house numbers, letterbox, cleaned windows, or even a small portico.
  • Lighting – Attractive porch lights and subtle path lighting for evening appeal.
  • Driveway & Path Fixes – Repair cracks, pressure-wash surfaces, or add stepping stones.
  • Garage Door Refresh – Repaint or replace a tired garage door for a big visual lift.
  • Roof & Gutter Cleaning – Ensure the roof looks well-maintained and gutters are spotless.


💡 Often, our larger renovation projects include these curb appeal boosters as finishing touches – we leave no stone unturned in making your home sale-ready.

Quick Case Study

For one Canberra property, we:


  • Painted the front door a cheerful red
  • Added flowering shrubs
  • Installed new porch lights


The cost was minimal, but the transformation was dramatic. What once looked neglected suddenly felt like a well-loved home — and buyers noticed.

DIY vs. Hiring Us

Not every curb appeal fix needs a pro. You can:


  • Keep lawns trimmed
  • Add potted plants near the entrance
  • Sweep paths before open homes


But for bigger impact changes like painting, driveway repairs, or structural touch-ups, that’s where we come in. We’ll ensure every detail is professionally finished and buyer-ready.

The Block isn't a renovating show. It's actually all about renovating for sale. Each set of contestants needs to produce a beautiful home that someone will eventually want to buy and live in. That's why it's one of our favourite shows because it's right up our alley! So, we thought we'd pull together a few of our favourite renovating-for-sale lessons that The Block exemplified; unsurprisingly after 16 seasons, there were more than enough drama-filled lessons to choose from!
