Refresh Your Home: Spring 2015 Renovation Tips

It's starting to be spring, and homeowners and property managers can feel it in their bones that it's time to give the house a thorough cleaning. In addition, renovations can restore vitality to a house and dramatically improve the comfort and enjoyment of the home environment.

 Deep Clean Your Carpets

 Sometimes the solution to providing a revitalizing lift to the home environment is to deep clean your carpets. While prudent homeowners and property managers are sure to include regular vacuuming, sweeping and other forms of cleaning as part of their carpet housekeeping duties, sometimes only a deep clean can really provide complete eradication of persistent spills, stains and soiling. In that case, it is usually a better choice to find a professional cleaner to do this for you instead of doing it yourself.

 The Importance of the Front Door

 Not only is the front door usually the most commonly used door in the house, it also signals a welcome to visitors and guests. Front doors have to withstand years of hard use, and face off against the elements. After a few years, even the best made door needs a little help in continuing to provide a fresh face to the world while protecting the occupants indoors.
 Depending on the construction and composition of your front door, some homeowners can complement their spring cleaning with a thorough sanding and painting. Choosing a bright, fresh color can add tremendous lift and energy to the house, as well as helping protect the door from the ravages of the environment. Other front doors may only need a touch-up of paint, restoring partly faded colors and surfaces to their original glory.

 Bringing Life Back to Roofs

 Nothing can downgrade and otherwise fantastic property faster than a damaged roof. Water damage from a leaky roof can quickly ruin the integrity and enjoyment of a house. Although modern roofs are well-designed, they do all eventually need upgrading and restoration in order to provide years of protection from the elements.

 A Blast of Living Color

 Whether flowers brought home from the nursery, or ones nourished overwinter indoors, nothing brightens up a home better than the beautiful sight of flowers in bloom. Nature's full palette of gorgeous, natural colors add a lively and cheerful aspect to any room in the home.

 Furniture Shuffle

 After the interiors of homes are thoroughly cleaned, one cool way to add a fresh vibe to rooms is to relocate the furniture. In some cases, furniture can be moved around the room to form new boundaries and living experience areas. Some homeowners may choose to replace or remove one item of furniture in each room. By subtracting or adding a piece to a living space, a fresh new dynamic can be created. New lines of view and orientation of furniture can add a pleasing and refreshing experience for homeowners and their families.

 The Power of Paint

 Even documents as old as the Bible record the truism that a fresh coat of paint adds freshness and rejuvenation to any home environment. Bold, strong colors or the sheer purity of a solid white wall can dramatically impact the aesthetics and interior feel of any room. Kitchens and other common rooms with a fresh, bold color can add energy and warmth to the house. Paint manufacturers often have a bevy of bold new colors each season, and offer expert advice to homeowners on choosing complementary colors.
