Are you wondering if you have the eyesore of the neighborhood? Well, in this article, we will give you some symptoms to consider. Let’s keep in mind that some people may be fully aware of their Ugly House. They are just trying to tick off the neighbors, could be colorblind, had too much fun in their younger years, don’t care, or just are not physically or financially able to fix it up, so maybe you could offer to help. For the most part, this post is for those of you who care and wonder where to start.
#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 Half-Finished Projects
Did you start a project 10 years ago, then stop? Are some of your trim boards 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!
