The arrival of warm weather makes many owners want to spruce up their space and begin renovation projects. Spring is the perfect time to find a contractor or plan out work you\u2019d like to do yourself, especially if you\u2019re a seasoned craftsman! We\u2019ve compiled a list of spring renovation projects for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Install new windows to improve energy performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your home needs new doors and windows, spring is the perfect time to consider replacing them. How do you know if your windows need to be replaced? There are often clear signs such as doors and windows that don\u2019t open easily,\u00a0window panes that get fogged up<\/a>, air leaks and heat loss. On average,\u00a0doors and windows last 25 to 30 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Changing your doors and windows in the spring will improve the energy efficiency of your home,\u00a0reduce your heating costs by up to 10%,<\/a>\u00a0and ensure you stay cool indoors during the summer. No one wants to start replacing windows in the middle of a heat wave!<\/p>\n

Change the exterior cladding to enhance your home’s appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moderate temperatures in spring and fall make these seasons the most popular for changing exterior cladding. Just like changing doors and windows,\u00a0changing your exterior cladding can help improve energy efficiency<\/a>, because most people also\u00a0improve the insulation<\/a>\u00a0at the same time.<\/p>\n

Exterior cladding lasts<\/a>\u00a0for up to 25 years for aluminum, 30 years for wood fibre, 40 years for vinyl and 75 years for brick (repointing required after 25 years), depending on the quality of the product, weather conditions and proper installation.<\/p>\n

Changing exterior cladding doesn\u2019t only improve energy efficiency, it also makes a house look better, which is an important factor when selling a home.<\/p>\n

Build a patio or deck<\/b>\u00a0to make the most of the coming summer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building a patio<\/a>\u00a0is a great way to get the most out of the summer ahead. With the arrival of sunny days and warm evenings, a tasteful outdoor space is an ideal place to relax, entertain guests or simply enjoy nature!<\/p>\n

A treated wood patio\u00a0lasts about 10 to 15 years<\/a>, depending on the type of wood and the finishing products.\u00a0Wood decks require maintenance<\/a>, so you\u2019ll need to apply a stain annually or use a wood sealer. If you\u2019re looking for a low-maintenance option, consider a\u00a0composite patio<\/a>. Composite has a longer lifespan than treated wood and can last up to 25 years.<\/p>\n

Fix your driveway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quebec winters are often hard on driveway asphalt. Freezing and thawing creates cracks in the asphalt and pieces often break off. June is a great time for thinking about repairs or a complete overhaul of your entrance.<\/p>\n

You can repair minor cracks yourself using a patching compound available in hardware stores. However, if the damage is significant and the\u00a0asphalt is more than 15 years old, resurfacing may be required<\/a>. In the case of major damage, you may need to completely re-do the gravel bed underneath.<\/p>\n

Replace the roof<\/b>\u00a0to protect your home<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best time to replace your roof is in late spring, early summer or fall, when it isn\u2019t too hot and there\u2019s less chance of heavy rain. Roofers are often booked up months in advance, so\u00a0spring is a good time to ask around for quotes.<\/p>\n

The lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is usually 20 to 30 years<\/a>, depending on the quality of the materials. Missing shingles, leaks, moisture stains on interior ceilings and mould may indicate that your roof is in bad shape. Keeping your roof in good condition is essential for protecting your home from bad weather and damage. A damaged roof can result in seepages, leaks and even structural damage.<\/p>\n

Improve\u00a0landscaping<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re planning major\u00a0landscaping work<\/a>\u00a0or a more modest project, spring is the perfect time to start. If you want professional help,\u00a0it\u2019s best to book landscaping professionals in the fall<\/a>. That way they can plan in advance and begin work as soon as spring arrives so your landscaping gets finished on time.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re thinking of a swimming pool, fireplace or outdoor kitchen, the backyard is the perfect place to get creative! Who doesn\u2019t want a space where they can entertain family and friends, or just feel like they\u2019re on vacation right in their own backyard?<\/p>\n

Plan out repair work to make the most of your summer<\/b><\/p>\n

Regardless of the season, it is critical to\u00a0prioritize work on the building itself<\/a>. This work is paramount to ensuring the structural integrity of your property and preventing depreciation from major but preventable problems. Spring is also the perfect time to do\u00a0minor maintenance<\/a>\u00a0around the house to keep it in good condition and avoid costly repairs down the road. When you stay on top of home maintenance, you ensure the sustainability and value of your real estate investment for years to come.<\/p>\n
