Top Spring Home Improvement Projects
We keep hearing meteorologists say spring is right around the corner! It is hard to comprehend this notion for many of us Midwesterners due to how painfully cold and snow heavy our winters can be. With spring just around the corner, here is a list of top home improvement projects that you should consider having done as soon as the snow thaws.
Roof Replacement or Repairs
Cold temperatures and heavy snowfall take a toll on the exterior of your home, especially your roof that could have received damage such as losing shingle granules, moisture seeping in between the cracks and creases or damage from an ice dam problem.
You should have a reputable roofing contractor come out and inspect your roof for signs of disintegration and curling or peeling of your shingles. Your roof is one of the first lines of defense when it comes to severe weather and we all know that springtime can bring storms.

Gutter Installation
If you don’t have any rain gutters on your home, it is completely defenseless against the raging rainstorms that can occur in the Midwest. You also risk rain eroding the soil around your home, which can leak into your basement. If you still have traditional gutters on your home, it is essential to clean out the organic debris that has accumulated in them over the last season to avoid overflowing. If you are ready to experience the modern age of a one-piece seamless gutter system, LeafGuard® Brand Gutters, are the only gutter system to receive the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.
Inspect Your Deck
Beautiful cedar decks are very popular in the area that we live in and are a point of pride for a lot of homeowners. Inspect your deck for any rotting or warped boards. Examine the stain on it to see how it weather the cold winter and if you think your deck is in need of full replacement consider using composite decking. It has taken the deck industry by storm, now surpassing cedar decking installation, and requires minimal maintenance if any at all.
Spruce Up Your Siding
Your home’s siding plays an important role in protecting your home during the harsh winters just like your roof does. If it is time for an update to add more curb appeal, you definitely need to consider installing LP® SmartSide® that will offer your home the warmth and beauty of traditional wood, with the durability and workability of engineered wood.
LP® SmartSide® is also backed by an industry leading 5/50 year transferable limited warranty. The manufacturing of this product is also backed by the green initiative by using the entire log in their manufacturing process and any wood waste is re-purposed to help fuel their mills. LP also participates in SFI® certified forest management and fiber sourcing systems to insure that their wood they used comes from well-managed forests.
