It’s all in the planning

Oasis
Planning is the key to your project’s success. If you need more space, you can envisage various solutions. Building a garage will give you room to park the car and set up practical storage areas. To enjoy new rooms inside the house, this could be the time to build that home addition you’ve long been dreaming of. Otherwise, you can simply stick to replacing the exterior siding or roof covering, putting in a new door or new windows, or changing the garage door. Once you have chosen your materials, they should be ordered straight away, bearing in mind that delivery time for some items can be 6 to 8 weeks. During this time you will have the opportunity to check the present state of the structure and make any necessary repairs.

Good materials, great job!

Spirit
For pleasing, long-lasting results, choose materials that you will not grow tired of. Trust your tastes when it comes to style. If the global village style wins you over with its up-to-the-minute cosmopolitan flair, go for timeless materials – brick, stucco, asphalt shingles – in warm greys or browns. If you are building an addition, coordinate the new exterior siding and roofing with the existing structure to ensure continuity of style and seamless integration of the new elements.

Lively and fresh, the spirit style facade features clear, simple lines and contrasting designs. The black window frames, entrance doors, garage door and porch structures contrast boldly with the beige siding. To show your concern for the environment, why not install a green roof? It’s an eco-friendly choice that will help you save on energy bills. And for maximum energy efficiency, choose new windows made from thermal glass.

Do you prefer the harmonious lines and tranquil feel of the oasis style? Then opt for sand-coloured vinyl siding, offset with black shutters, which provide symmetry and regularity. If you are adding a garage, be sure to blend the design, colours and materials of the new construction with those of the house.

Get started!

With the planning complete, it’s time to get started. Begin by installing the doors and windows. Next, tackle the roof – install the asphalt shingles then the soffits and fascia. Once you have completed the insulation, you can put up the new vinyl cladding or other exterior siding, followed by the finishing elements such as railings, columns, and gutters made of tinplate or PVC.

The final touches

A few final details will make your home stand out. Good outdoor lighting is essential. Experiment with different types of lighting so as to show off your new facade to its best advantage while providing a safe, secure environment. Personalize the decor with some well-chosen, original accessories that coordinate well with the facade. A stylish mail box and address plate to display your house number, decorative shutters and flower boxes, and elegant locks and door handles will add great curb appeal. The key is to maintain a harmony of lines, shapes and colours.
With the wide variety of materials and products available, there are many ways to embellish the outside of your home in style and good taste.
