to put your home on the market they can
be the little extra touches that make your
home say right from the road, “Come on in!
You’re going to love it here.”
If you have vinyl or aluminum siding, a
power washer can make quick work of dirt
and grime, and such tools are available for
rent at local businesses such as Chicago
Street Rentals in Lincoln. Also, if you’re
not in Lincoln, check with your local
hardware store or lumber supply and see if
they have something available. There are
also garden hose attachments that include
wands and brushes that will do a pretty
good job if you’re willing to put some
elbow grease into the project.
If you have sidings such as barn wood,
brick or stone, a stiff bristle broom will
work wonders and make the exterior of
your home look clean and fresh.
If the steps are in poor repair, local
businesses such as Alexander Lumber
and RP Lumber sell pre-formed concrete
steps. It takes a little moxie to get them
in if you are a do-it-yourselfer. If you’re
not so inclined, then see if the seller will
install them for you or recommend a local
handyman who can do the job.
Many times, a front porch becomes the
storage point for outdoor toys and other
items. If you have your home on the
market, it is very important that you find
someplace else to store these things.
