Are you interested in renovating your home, but unsure of where to start? If so, you're in the right place! It can be quite a challenge considering there are various parts of the home to revamp. Below we've covered several different home renovations to consider before deciding. Review these options in greater detail below to consider which one works best for you and your home.

Roofing Repair or Replacement

If you notice that your roof is experiencing issues, then you may want to contact a roofing company for either a repair or a roof replacement. Determining which one to opt for depends on the specific issues your roof is facing. Some problems will be related to age, whereas others can be due to extreme weather occurrences or other unexpected events. When it comes to roof age, it can vary depending on the type of roof you own. According to Fixr, 20 to 25 years is the typical lasting time of a residential shingle roof. Speak to roofing companies to confirm whether it's come time to get a repair or roof replacement.

Siding Solutions

Unlike issues necessitating a roof repair or roof replacement, siding dilemmas can be much easier to go unnoticed if you're not looking for them. However, there are numerous signs to watch out for, and you should seek siding services as soon as you notice any of them. Cracks, gaps, rot, mold, and excessive moisture are just a few key concerns. You may also notice less obvious signs like higher energy bills and feeling drafts near windows or electrical receptacles. Make sure to reach out to siding contractors for assistance if you notice you may need siding services.

Window Renovations

Similarly to siding in poor condition, shoddy windows can also lead to higher energy bills or an uncomfortable home. Even if the windows seem to be in adequate condition, it's still important to ensure they aren't in need of repairs or replacements. In addition to repairing your windows, you can consider upgrading them to more energy-efficient models depending on the contractors you work with. According to the United States Department of Energy, 25% to 30% of residential heating and energy use can be attributed to heat gain and heat loss through windows. Consequently, window renovations may be the most ideal choice for you if you see higher energy bills than you're used to.

Garage Door Updates

It's easiest to tell when it's time to invest in garage door services when the garage door is visibly broken or damaged. Consequently, you should get your garage door replaced when you notice excessive moisture absorption, rot, deterioration, a bent track, a rusted track, or poor insulation. The garage is another area of the home that can let cool or warm air in or out depending on how well it's insulated. According to This Old House, garage doors with three layers are typically insulated better than single-layer doors, which usually aren't insulated. Doors with four to five layers are even better.

Phantom Screen Installation

Phantom screens are a more recent innovation in the home renovation field, and they're a great way to keep bugs out of the home. These motorized, retractable screens provide an additional layer of protection to your exterior doors. They allow you to quickly and easily screen off or open an interior area at your preference. Even when they're in use, they're still a visually-appealing method of protecting the home from bugs.

Gutter Repairs or Installation

Gutters play a huge role in your home's curb appeal and in protecting your home from exterior debris. With gutters, you can keep leaves, twigs, stormwater, and more from harming your home. According to Angi, you should replace your gutters every 20 years or so as long as they're properly maintained. You should seek professional gutter repairs if you notice sagging gutters, clogged gutters, leaking gutters, improperly sloping gutters, or extensive gutter damage.
