What’s on Your Home’s Honey-do List: Projects To Start Planning NOW

honey-do-list

With only one month left in 2022, December is often a time for holiday shopping, family gatherings, and planning home upgrades for next year. We know “home upgrades” are probably not what you initially thought would come at the end of that sentence (and probably the last thing you want to tackle in December) but let us explain.  

With December’s arrival, the temperature often gets cooler, and you’re quickly reminded of everything you may have put off completing all summer. While it may seem like you’re stuck, it’s a great time to get these projects on the calendar for spring before the summer chaos begins. December is the perfect time to revisit these outdoor upgrades, and set the goals for your home for 2023, just as you do in other areas of your life. As a result, this means December is the perfect time to take advantage of any promotions and get your home projects scheduled for 2023. Companies like Contract Exteriors have well-equipped staff to help get your project checked off the list next year. 

To help you get started with planning these projects, we’ve outlined our five favorite must-have outdoor upgrades below. 

  1. Replace your windows

You may associate replacing your windows with a summer to-do list, but spring is a great time to tackle this project. We know that when it’s summertime, the last thing anyone wants to do is spend time deciding on a new window when they could be sitting on a beach. The process can seem overwhelming with options, but Contract Exteriors is a highly awarded contractor. They carry OKNA windows which are some of the best windows you can install in the Myrtle Beach and Charleston areas that can stand up to powerful hurricane winds.  When you tackle this in the spring, you’re ensuring your home isn’t only all ready for the summer months, but also for next year’s hurricane season. 

  1. Update your deck or railing

While some home upgrades are best left for the summer, updating your deck (or railing) can be done any time of year, especially during the spring. No one wants their backyard to be out of commission during the summer months, but during spring you’re likely spending less time out there. Contract Exteriors is the top TimberTech Platinum Pro contractor and a NADRA Certified Deck Inspector in the Myrtle Beach and Charleston areas. Get ahead with your planning for next summer and update your deck so you are ready to entertain your family and friends all summer long. 

  1. Give attention to your gutters

While the weather is still mild, spring is the perfect time to look at your gutters. If you don’t pay attention to them and clean them before it gets too rainy, your gutters may be too full to work properly when precipitation starts falling. If they are full or clogged, rain and slush won’t be able to drain through the downspout and as a result, your roofline can be impacted. Make sure your gutters are working properly as early as possible in the spring.

  1. Replace your roof

Another good outdoor upgrade to tackle next spring or summer is a roof replacement. While this seems like a significant undertaking, it doesn’t need to be when you work with the right company, like Contract Exteriors. Year-end is after hurricane season, so your roof may have experienced some lingering damage as a result. Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, so you want to ensure it is fully intact to retain your home’s heat in winter, and the cool air in the summer. 

  1. Replace your home’s exterior siding

Our top must-have outdoor upgrade is replacing your home’s siding. As 2022 ends, it is the perfect time to follow the motto “out with the old, in with the new.” Many homeowners stay clear of this home upgrade out of fear that it is an expensive and massive undertaking, but those homeowners don’t have a clear picture of the project. Replacing your home’s exterior siding is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase your home’s value. Remodeling Magazine also notes that with this upgrade, you can expect to earn back 95% of your investment if you ever decide to sell. 

While you may not be able to get through all five of these must-have outdoor upgrades, you can prioritize which ones you want to have completed first – and if you ask us, we’d recommend starting with your home’s siding. 

When it comes to our last, and most favorite outdoor upgrade, there are countless directions for you to go in, which may seem overwhelming at first. If you aren’t familiar with James Hardie Board, this is one of the highest-performance siding options on the market, and their styles will suit every home style, whether your home is historic, coastal, or modern. 

Two of our most desired colors for vinyl siding currently are coastal blue and seafoam green. Coastal blue is the perfect color choice to compliment any home that wants to evoke feelings of serenity. Just like you would feel as if you were looking at the sea, choosing this color will give anyone that passes by your home those same calming feelings. Another popular color choice we love is seafoam green. In contrast to coastal blue, this color choice still evokes calmness but also conveys feelings of freshness, comfort, nature, peace, and security. Both color choices are timeless ones that any homeowner will love. 

Once you decide to replace your home’s siding, you will need to choose the color that you would like to install, then find a trusted contractor. If you are in the Myrtle Beach or Charleston area, give us a call. Contract Exteriors is an award-winning contractor with unparalleled customer service. When you partner with our team, the process is easy and you will have the peace of mind knowing that you are working with one of the few James Hardie Elite preferred contractors in South Carolina.
