Exterior Facelifts: Siding, Paint, and First-Impression ROI

Description

$12K paint job: added $40K to the appraisal. $45K siding replacement: added $18K. The math is brutal. It’s been brutal for decades. Siding contractors are somehow still in business. Paint is the highest-ROI exterior upgrade in the catalog. Full stop. Paint first. Side later. Or never.
