Are you concerned you might have an ugly house? Well, let us give you a few symptoms to ponder. Keep in mind that some people may be fully aware of their Ugly House, and they are just trying to tick off the neighbors; they could be colorblind, had too much fun in the ’70s, or don’t care. But this is for those of you who do care or wonder how the rest of us think.
#1 Paint Color
Keep in mind this is based on location because a house in a beach town would be different from Missoula, Montana. Do your color themes kind of go with other houses in the area? We have all seen that bright pink house with purple trim. Do the trim and main color completely clash and not go together? In general, it is best to avoid bright colors so take a look. Does your house have bold, bright colors that don’t fit your area?
#2 Broken Items or Half-Finished Projects
Did you start to paint 10 years ago, then stop? Are some of your trim broken, or are the gutters hanging? Look around. Do you have broken windows, blinds, or screens, a weathered unpainted front door, a fence that has fallen on the ground? Do you have missing roof shingles and hanging exterior light fixtures? If you have any of these, you might have an ugly house!
