Top 5 Exterior Home Upgrades to Boost Curb Appeal in Iowa

Looking to increase your home’s value and make a lasting impression? These five exterior upgrades are not only smart investments—they’re essential for Iowa homeowners facing four-season weather. Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to fall in love with your home again, start here.

1. New Roofing That Performs and Protects

Your roof is your first line of defense against Iowa’s storms. Upgrading to architectural shingles or hail-resistant materials not only increases protection—it also modernizes your curb appeal.

Pro Tip: A new roof can return up to 68% of your investment in resale value.

2. Modern Siding for a Fresh Look

Faded or damaged siding drags down your home’s appearance. Vinyl, fiber cement, or LP SmartSide are durable, low-maintenance options that offer serious ROI and aesthetic impact.

3. Concrete Patios & Driveways That Impress

Don’t overlook your driveway or patio—they're the first surfaces visitors interact with. New concrete or decorative stamped finishes can totally transform outdoor usability and visual appeal.

4. Landscaping That’s Both Functional and Beautiful

Strategic landscaping with sod, paver patios, and proper drainage does more than beautify—it protects your home from runoff and erosion. It's one of the easiest ways to instantly refresh your home’s look.

5. Storm Damage Restoration = Invisible Upgrade

After hail or wind, repairing or replacing damaged roofing and siding is crucial—even if it’s not obvious. Insurance may cover it, and restoring these elements discreetly improves both performance and appearance.
