If you live in Turtle Creek there is a great program you might want to take advantage of to spruce up the outside of your home. The Turtle Creek Curb Appeal Mini-Matching Grant is a program that will reimburse homeowners for 50% of the cost, up to $150, for curb appeal improvements they make to their home. Since improving the curb appeal of your home can pay off big if you are planning to sell your home, and makes your community a nicer place to live, this is a program worth looking taking part in.
Improving the curb appeal of you home can:
- Increase the value of your home by 7-15% and have a 100-200% return on investment
- Make your neighborhood more welcoming, safer and inviting to visitors and potential homeowners
- Some investments like windows, doors or storm doors can also decrease your energy bills
So what can you do with the grant?
- Plant flowers or trees
- Paint your siding or trim
- Put up new lighting, mailbox or house numbers
- Put in landscaping beds
- Add shutters
- Install a picket fence
- Add or repair your walkway
- and a lot more.
