Curb appeal is how attractive the exterior of a business is, from the building itself to the surrounding landscape. It contributes to your customers’ first impression of your company, which is why building painting and parking lot maintenance are so important. Learn more about how to improve your curb appeal below.

What Does Curb Appeal Do?

What visitors see on the outside gives them an idea of how much care you put into your company. They’ll feel more confident using your products and services when they see a well-maintained facility.

Curb appeal also extends to safety. Keeping up with repairs on walkways and parking lots ensures no one trips over broken concrete or has an accident due to potholes. Vibrant parking lot striping also ensures that traffic patterns are easy to follow and parking spots are clearly marked.

When your building painting and signage are striking and clean, it’s easier for customers to find your location and recognize what you offer. 

Landscaping is part of curb appeal as well. Trimming overgrown areas will reduce the incidence of pests and hidden criminal activity.

How Can You Boost Curb Appeal?

Regular building painting will remove peeling, fading, and other aesthetic issues created by the elements or vandals. If your location has storefront windows, repair cracks and have the glass cleaned regularly to allow passersby to see products, signs and displays.

For any signs with contact information, make sure they’re easy to read from various angles. Replace anything that looks worn out or outdated.

Clean up the landscaping: keep the grass trim and neat, and prune bushes and trees. Make sure paths are free of debris and repair damaged bricks or concrete. 

For parking lots, repair any damages quickly and refresh the striping as needed to keep it distinct. Add or repair lighting around parking areas and entrances to your building. Proper illumination lowers the risk of criminal activity and injury.
