Now that spring has arrived it’s time to take off that coat and take in the outside world—without five layers of fleece in between it. Many people already use spring as the perfect excuse to get outdoors and get their body back in shape after months of winter hibernation, so why not apply the same principle to your home? Spring is a great time to renovate the exterior of your house and give it that extra little facelift before the lazy days of summer roll around.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Spring Cleaning
We all know that spring is the time to clean the interior of your house, but why not clean the exterior as well? Months of grimy snow and foliage residue can leave your siding looking dull and dingy. You wouldn’t let your kitchens walls look that way, so don’t let your siding either. Most cleaning can be done with a basic garden hose and cleaning solution, but if you’re looking for more power be sure to hire a professional to do the job.
Paint Pick-Me-Up
Sometimes a pop of bright color can be all you need to make your house sing this season. While it’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to give your home a new do, painting can also be a tricky process. Choosing the right shade for your house is a tough decision, and the challenge often scares hesitant homeowners away.

Window to the World
Replacing your windows can have a much bigger impact on the appearance and quality of your home than you might initially think. Aside from the new cleaner, clearer surfaces letting in more natural light, new energy saving technologies will also significantly reduce your heating and cooling bills. And if that makes you feel good on the inside, it will certainly show on the outside too.
