Top Spring Renovation Projects for Your Home

Springtime is the best time to do your major home renovations. The weather is perfect for working, and the renovations will likely be complete by the start of summer, so you can fully enjoy the fruits of your labor. Check out this guide to the top spring renovation projects for your home.

Replace your roof

Springtime is the best time to replace your home’s roof. It may have sustained damage from the long winter, or it simply has worn down over time. Replacing your home’s roof has many benefits. It can change the style of your home’s exterior, decrease your utility bills, boost curb appeal, and help protect your home from weather and outside damage.

Before you replace your roof, look into different materials and learn the advantages and disadvantages of each type for your home and region. Learning the difference between roofing types before committing to one can make a world of difference in this spring renovation project’s outcome. 

Resurface your driveway

Resurfacing your driveway is a rather simple task that doesn’t take much time. After a long winter, chances are any asphalt driveway is fraught with potholes, cracks, and other imperfections. Resurfacing your driveway is a great renovation for spring because the weather will heat up a bit, but the regular spring rains will keep the air moist and perfect for asphalt laying.

Look into companies that provide asphalting services and contact your neighbors. Often, companies will provide discounts if a neighborhood orders services in bulk, such as if multiple homes on the same block get their driveways resurfaced at once.

Lay a new porch or extend an old one

Spring is the perfect time to sit out on the porch in the morning and enjoy a cup of joe. Without a porch, or without a big enough one, this task becomes much more difficult. Laying a new porch or extending an existing one can lead to increased time spent outdoors and greatly boost your home’s curb appeal.

Spring is the best season to put a new porch in because of the mild climate. Too cold and the concrete won’t sit right; too hot and it becomes more difficult to work with. Make sure to schedule the renovation for a day with clear skies and mild temperatures.

Build a room addition

Building a new room addition can take some planning and time. Plan now so the addition renovations can begin right as spring starts and be completed by the start of summer. There are various reasons to build a room addition. You could add a sunroom to enjoy the warm spring rays, an office to work the brisk sunny days at home, or any other room you can imagine.

This is a renovation you may want to consider hiring a renovation company for. There are a lot of permits required to build on to a house, and a renovation company will help you make sure you follow all rules, regulations, and safety guidelines—all while ensuring your room is finished quickly. Do your research and go with a company you trust.
