Although it’s hard to fathom, spring is actually on its way here in Nashville. Slowly but surely, the bitter cold will subside, the days will be longer, and you’ll be finding yourself spending more time outdoors. And what better place to enjoy those cool spring evenings than your own backyard? Old man winter may have ravaged your home’s exterior, but fear not, we have a list of outdoor projects for you to tackle that will have your place looking better than ever, just in time for BBQ season.
- Everyone’s favorite hangout. If your home is lacking a designated outdoor area, now may be the time to research deck designs that will fit your budget and your property. Already have a deck? A revamp may be just the ticket. Keep in mind that decks should be properly sealed every 1 or 2 years to maintain their best look and integrity.
- Did someone say white picket? How about wrought iron? Fencing is a fantastic way to add a little something to your lawn as well as keep your property enclosed and private.
- Outdoor Kitchen. Outdoor kitchens are becoming increasingly popular for homeowners. A great way to incorporate a unique cooking space without having to make countless trips in and out of the house, an outdoor kitchen offers endless options to fit any space.
- Exterior Paint. If you are looking for a quick fix that has the most impact, a paint job may be just the ticket. Give your home a facelift after a long winter with an exterior touch up.
- Replace and Revamp your Garage Door. A garage door is often a focal point of a house, especially if said garage is in the front of the house or faces the street. Installing a unique and upgraded garage door can completely change the look of your home.
- Looking for a less obvious fix that not only increases the value of your home but can also inadvertently change the way it looks? Look up. A new roof offers endless color and material options that provide both aesthetic and long-term value.
- If your current gutters leave something to be desired, now may be the time to look into replacing them. Older gutters that are sagging, rusty or broken not only pose a threat to your home’s foundation by failing to provide adequate water distribution, but are also rather unsightly. A relatively inexpensive feat, gutter replacement is a great way to subtly change the look of your home.
- Perhaps the project that offers the most impact, re-siding your home will create a completely different look and feel, given the vast array of options you will have to choose from. Be sure to ask a professional contractor beforehand about which materials will hold up best in your area’s climate – this is an outdoor project you will want to last for a long time.
