caption: Slide 3 of 16: It can be frustrating when house numbers are impossible to see from the road. This is doubly true for potential buyers who are trying to find your address for a viewing. So, if your house numbers are painted on (as opposed to nailed or screwed on), be sure to give them a fresh coat of paint to make the best possible first impression and to help people find you easily.
