Planning Your Home’s Exterior Renovation

Over time, your home’s exterior can go from looking fabulous to a bit faded. At these times, an exterior renovation can help get your home’s curb appeal and sparkle back. However, it’s important to remember that your exterior renovation is a process, one that requires careful planning and consideration to come out looking great.

In this article, we’ll discuss the steps that are most common in the process of planning your Buffalo home’s exterior renovation.

Planning Your Home’s Exterior Renovation

New Siding

One of the biggest functional and aesthetic changes you can make to your home is to change out the siding. This is because the siding on your Buffalo home makes up so much of its exterior that a change will always impact curb appeal. Compared to simple clapboard styles available in the past, you’ll find a wide range of options you may not have considered for siding in the past.

However, one factor to consider is that some types of siding also have insulation on the back, which can improve your energy efficiency as well. This allows you to lower your utility bills during long, cold New York winters. We have the largest variety of siding available in western New York, ensuring that you’ll find exactly what you want for your exterior renovation, including not only vinyl, but also composite cladding and mortarless stone options.

Reroofing

Though we typically think about a roof as something that keeps the rain out, your roof can also impact your home’s overall aesthetic appearance. A dark roof can add a sleek, modern appearance to your home, accenting the existing modern lines. By comparison, shake or slate styled architectural shingles can be used to provide your home with a beautiful historic look.

Metal roofing is also becoming much more popular, partially due to its extreme longevity and overall hardiness. Whatever you’re considering, we can provide you with detailed information on each style of roofing so that you can make a smart choice that will compliment your home’s existing or planned exterior design.

Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors

As time and technology advance, there are always new options available to improve your home’s overall energy efficiency without sacrificing your view. Our selection of wood and vinyl windows are available in a wide range of styles, finishes, and sizes, with a range of windows for Buffalo residents that include low-E glass, multi-pane options, and similar aspects to consider.

Similarly, you don’t need to sacrifice style to have an energy-efficient exterior door. Whether it’s a garage door, storm door, or a brand-new front door, there is a wide range of colors, styles, and sizes available. This allows you to choose a door that is a perfect fit with the rest of your home’s architectural style while still giving you the energy efficiency that western New York’s extreme climate demands.

Soffits and Fascia

Soffits and fascia are the parts of your home’s exterior that give it a more polished, finished appearance. This includes the areas under your eaves, the underside of your roof where it extends over the edges of your walls, as well as outdoor trim that surrounds your windows and doors, or ceilings on your overhangs. Upgrading the trim in these areas can change your home’s exterior appearance and move it from boring to brilliant.

Adding On

Of course, sometimes no matter how much you change the exterior appearance of your home, it still isn’t enough. If you need a garage or addition put in place to improve your home’s livability, especially in long New York winters, you want to make sure you’re working with a team who understands how that process works and how it will impact your home and family during the construction process. Do you have individuals who are sensitive to loud noises or disruption? If so, it may be worth taking a vacation or getting a rental for a short period during the worst of the work.

By taking the time to carefully plan your Buffalo home’s exterior renovation process, you can ensure that you’re getting exactly what you want out of the process, whether it’s a fresh appearance, outdoor living areas, or just replacing old, worn siding and trims. Take your time and carefully think through the changes that you’re considering so that you can be sure that they’ll work with your home and lifestyle.
