Celebrate National Curb Appeal Month in Style

August is National Curb Appeal Month—the perfect time to refresh your home's exterior and make it stand out from the street. Whether you're thinking about selling or just want to fall in love with your home again, now’s the time to make smart, high-impact upgrades.

According to REALTOR® Magazine, homes with strong curb appeal sell for up to 7% more than similar homes with lackluster exteriors. Even more exciting? A 2023 survey from Thumbtack and Nextdoor revealed that more than half of homeowners believe a beautiful landscape and exterior can increase resale value by $20,000 or more—and 16% estimate the impact at over $50,000!

Simple Projects with Big Payoffs:

  • ✅ Give your front door a bold refresh
  • ✅ Upgrade to a modern garage door
  • ✅ Add vibrant, colorful accents
  • ✅ Install elegant landscape lighting
  • ✅ Apply a fresh coat of paint
  • ✅ Capture your upgrades with listing-ready photography

 

Trend Alert: Black Garage Doors Are Taking Over in 2025

Looking for one of the most sought-after exterior upgrades this year? Say hello to black garage doors—the bold, sophisticated statement every modern home deserves.

  • High-contrast drama: Metallic or deep black doors pop against light siding like crisp white, stone gray, or classic red brick.
  • Low-maintenance beauty: Black finishes hide dirt and wear, making them a smart and stylish choice.
  • Style chameleon: From modern farmhouse to colonial traditional, black doors add polish to every architectural style.
  • Totally on trend: Top paint shades like Tricorn Black and Cracked Pepper are curb appeal showstoppers in 2025.

 

Modern Texture: Plank-Style Garage Doors

Plank-style garage doors are also soaring in popularity, offering a fresh take on texture and warmth. Featuring vertical or horizontal wood-look panels, these doors blend modern design with rustic charm.

Choose from natural wood or low-maintenance steel with realistic grain textures (like Artisan Wood Grain™)—perfect for homeowners who want beauty without the upkeep. When paired with black framing or trim, plank-style doors make a bold and personalized statement.

 

 

Upgrade Your Garage Door — and Your ROI

If your garage door is dated or damaged, now is the time to upgrade. According to the Cost vs. Value Report by Zonda, garage door replacements top the charts with a 194% return on investment—making them the #1 home improvement project in today’s market.

With styles ranging from classic to contemporary, Overhead Door™ Brand offers doors that elevate curb appeal, boost energy efficiency, and enhance security. Not sure what will look best? Try the DoorDreamer™ Visualizer—a free tool that lets you upload a photo of your home and preview different door styles in real time.
