4 Projects to Complete During Summer
Whether you want to complete a large-scale or a small project, summer is the perfect time to get started. Some high-value projects to complete this summer include:
1. Replacing Windows
While replacing windows sounds like an invasive and complicated task, most products are designed for simple and fast installation. By replacing the windows on your home, you can upgrade to more efficient glass that lets in all the light that you need while insulating against harsher temperatures and providing enhanced security. If you are feeling ambitious, you can also perform some work to install larger windows and enhance the view of your surroundings while increasing the amount of natural light you receive.
2. Constructing an Addition
If you have the time and budget, constructing an addition can greatly increase your home’s value and livability. Whether you want to put in a home office, an extra bedroom, or an entertainment area, home additions are a great renovation idea for houses of all sizes. It is recommended to contact a contractor before starting any work to see if you need any permits or if there are any potential challenges to be aware of.
3. Fixing Your Driveway
Between the rain and cold weather throughout the rest of the year, it is common for driveways in BC to suffer damage that needs to be fixed. Repairs to the driveway might seem like a minor project, but they can make a big difference for the curb appeal of your home. Summer is the perfect time to get this work done as you will likely not need to worry about rain halting your project.
4. Repairing or Replacing Your Deck
Much like driveways, decks can sustain serious damage from harsh weather throughout the year. If your deck is falling apart, summer is the perfect time to repair it. Alternatively, you can look to replace it with one that is more suited to your current preferences.
