While we’ve had a fairly mild winter here on the East Coast, there are few things that break that winter hold better than springtime renovations. While it may be tempting to just jump into your next project, there are a few things to consider beforehand. While some of our Spring renovation ideas and tips might not seem very exciting, they can add value, and safety to your home!
If you’re living in an older home, you may want to look at your plumbing or electrical systems. While it may be tempting to redo your bathroom or rec room, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not first updating and renovating the very things that make those rooms functional.
If outdoor renovations are on your list, get started early. By doing things like staining your deck, or placing interlocking bricks as a walkway or firepit base, means that you can enjoy these things all throughout the summer.
If the jobs you’re looking to have done are bigger than DIY, make sure you book materials and your contractor well in advance. Especially given our current situation, materials are sparse and expensive. By booking early, you can guarantee your time, and also guarantee that your material cost won’t go up!
One thing that many homeowners struggle with is knowing their own skills. While on its face, something like tiling or laying floor might seem like easy work, it can quickly get away from you and suddenly you’re a candidate for Canada’s Worst Renovations. Recognize when it’s time to call in the experts, and more importantly do the groundwork to find a reputable contractor who can get the job done for you.
