How to Update the Exterior of a Ranch Style Home

    • 1). Paint the exterior of your ranch-style home for a refreshed appearance. Choose a contemporary color and rid your home of peeling and cracked paint, which dates it.

    • 2). Replace cracked concrete stoops or warped wooden porches on the front of your home. Installing a contemporary stone or composite wood porch creates a more inviting entryway.

    • 3). Remove gravel or cracked concrete walkways and install pavers in their place. Pavers are available in styles and materials to fit most tastes and budgets, including natural stone, stamped concrete and brick.

    • 4). Install new house numbers in a contemporary font. Small house numbers should be replaced with higher-visibility metal or wood numbers. Give your mailbox numbers an update, too.

    • 5). Add window boxes to lend visual interest to an otherwise plain home. Fill them with colorful annuals.

    • 6). Replace a worn or dated front door with a new model. Raised panels and glass inserts have a contemporary feel.

    • 7). Purchase and install new garage doors in a style that complements your front door. Flat-panel models can blend in with the linear feel of ranch style homes, so opt for a model with some detail on the face.

    • 8). Install new porch lights flanking the front door to add both style and illumination. A complementary post light along the front walkway adds curb appeal.
