“Exterior lighting is where Valley homeowners consistently underinvest. A home that looks ordinary in daylight can look dramatic at night with the right uplighting on trees and architectural features. LED landscape lighting runs $150–400 per fixture installed. For a typical Valley home front yard, 8–12 fixtures transforms the evening curb appeal entirely.”
Exterior painting bids should always specify 'surface preparation included' with an itemized list of what preparation means. A legitimate surface prep scope includes power washing, mold treatment, caulking at all gaps (windows, doors, trim, penetrations), and sanding or scraping all peeling areas. Bids that don't include this are leaving the most important step to the homeowner's assumption.
