5 WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY’S CURB APPEAL (PART 1)

When guests and clients see your commercial property, you want them to feel welcomed. Your building should reflect your business and make the best first impression possible. The best way to portray how trustworthy you are and invite customers to come on in is to increase your curb appeal.

You may take a walk around your property and have no idea where, to begin with your curb appeal design. But with the five ways to enhance your commercial property’s curb appeal below, you’ll see your options for transforming your business. Get ready to wow your customers with these creative curb appeal options.

1. Keep Your Building in Top Shape

Over time, any building is going to need some maintenance. Peeling paint, cracked bricks and other small cosmetic issues can add up across your building’s facade. As those cosmetic problems pile up, you will have more issues to deal with, and visitors will be more likely to notice the lack of attention around your property.

Regular maintenance and upkeep of your building can help stop minor issues before they pile up. Conduct regular checks a few times a year or after severe weather and note what needs maintenance. As you inspect your building’s exterior, take a look at the following.

• The roof, from gutters to shingles. Do you need to clean or repair anything?
• Windows and exterior frames, checking if you need to clean or replace the glass or repaint the frames.
• Stone or brickwork and the mortar. Look to see whether you need to patch the mortar or replace bricks.
• Siding, checking for missing or broken pieces.

Minor damage on small components of your facade will be an easy fix, but you may need more significant replacements if you have plenty of damage. If you plan to renovate your building’s exterior with some curb appeal construction, switch to vinyl or steel exteriors that look great and are easier to clean.

2. Improve Your Landscaping

As guests and clients approach your property, they will note two things about your curb appeal design. First, they will notice your building, but then they will see the landscaping — or lack thereof. The natural areas around your building, no matter how small, show guests that you put attention not only to the work you do but also to your property.

A well-maintained lawn goes a long way to improving your property’s look, but creative curb appeal incorporates something more. So mow any grass you have, and be sure to add other natural elements. Trees, flowers, plants, and bushes can add dimension and texture to your property’s outdoor spaces. If you are not sure where to use these elements, consider adding landscaping to these areas.

• Line pathways: Welcome your guests in with a path lined with colorful flowers or lush greenery. Landscaping will define walkways for visitors and add beauty to their walk inside your building.
• Create shade: Taller trees and bushes can provide energy-saving shade for your windows. As a bonus, you and your guests or clients get a bit of privacy inside.
• Fill empty corners: Whether your property is on a small or expansive lot, you may have some gaps around your building, sidewalks and pathways. Fill those areas with anything from short and slender trees to an artistic arrangement of flowers and greenery.

Nature provides a relaxing escape for many, which may be just what your property needs. Even if you do not intend for visitors to spend much time outside, they will appreciate the effort you put into maintaining your property’s landscaping.

3. Maintain Parking and Walkway Areas

Once your guests take in your well-maintained building and landscaping, they will head to your parking lot and walk toward your business. Don’t ruin the great impression you made with your property by having damaged or disheveled parking and pathway areas. When you maintain your building’s facade, put equal effort into your parking lot and walkway with these measures.

• Check your parking lot and walkways for cracks or damage.
• Regularly clean parking lots and pathways, pressure washing if appropriate for the material.
• Reseal your parking lot every couple of years or as needed.
• Replace or repair cracks and chips in your walkways.
• Enhance these spaces with decorative elements that complement the style of your building.

Maintaining the look of your parking and pathways can also help keep those areas safe. Severe cracks and damage can present tripping hazards for some, which is not the impression you want to make on customers. Increase curb appeal and protect your customers and their vehicles with attention to these areas.
