For most people, preparation for spring involves breaking out of hibernation, reorganizing, deep cleaning, and checking off some minor home improvements-but what about the outside of your home? In New England, we soak up changing seasons and try to enjoy all that spring has to offer as soon as it hits 55 degrees.
Once the snow melts, we start to notice our home’s lack of curb appeal. No one wants to be “that” house on the block that sticks out like a sore thumb. Before you know it, it is May and you need to find solutions as soon as possible but don’t know where to start. Reaching out to your favorite construction company Professional Building Services is a great start for advice on how to improve overall curb appeal with solid, and efficient products with longevity.
Here are the top four exterior spring home remodeling projects:
- Patio or Deck Remodel: Talk about a quick way to transform your boring backyard into the ultimate entertaining oasis. What was once a space you may have used once or twice in your entire life is now an area where you can celebrate your kid’s birthdays, enjoy breakfast, or even sip a glass of wine with your spouse at night. Don’t limit yourself to the current layout of your deck or patio. Have us come out and design the space completely custom to your needs and style. Composite materials are expected by new homebuyers and are low maintenance, lasting solutions.
- Siding Replacement: The harsh winter weather absolutely takes a toll on your siding. If you have masonite or wood, it is soaking up water and cracking when drying up. Nails and paint reject the material, and you’re left trying to paint-and-patch every other year. Vinyl gets cracked, color-faded, and traps water, which leads to rot repair and structural concerns. It is important to know that aged siding does not only look like a giant eye-sore, but is compromising the protection and safety of your home. We belive and specialize in a fiber cement product specifically engineered for the New England climate: James Hardie Siding.
- Portico Addition: It is common for homeowners to spend hundreds of dollars on landscaping services, but what do all of those lovely flowers and plants meant if the front of your house lacks charm and character? Yes, porticos are functional; but they also are a statement piece with many options to choose from. Theendless design options are something we design with you to really stand out in your neighborhood. Our absolute favorite? Metal roof porticos.
- 4. Roof Remodel: This is probably the project you’ve been avoiding for years. Your shingles are blown off, burnt, faded, but you’ve possibly done more exciting projects first like a new kitchen. Your roof is essential in taking care of an efficient home. Very often, roofs are under ventilated and will bake from the inside out. Your ridge vent works overtime and before you know it, that lifetime year warranty your other contractor promised ended up lasting 4 years. Then, when you call to complain, you find out it is a limited prorated warranty. We only work with the top-of-the-line products to ensure a quality install and project.
