6 simple spring home improvement projects you can do now

Tackle these straightforward tasks and you’ll make your home sing this spring

Spring has sprung! With the warmer days and longer evenings, you’re bound to want to spend more time outdoors soaking up all that wonderful sunshine. Now’s the perfect time to get started on those home improvement projects you’ve been planning since winter.

Here are our top picks of simple home improvement projects that will make your house sing this spring.

External painting

Spring is a great time to treat your home to a lick of paint. A fresh coat around the outside of your home will not only keep it looking its best, but also serve as added protection from the elements. If you feel like making a bigger change, think about painting your front door a different color. It’ll freshen things up and can make a huge difference to the look of your whole home.

Landscaping

Now’s the time to trim back those unruly bushes, shrubs and trees before they start shooting up again. You can also inject some fresh color into your garden with a few carefully chosen flowering plants that are suitable for your climate. Landscaping doesn’t need to cost a fortune — look for ideas online or talk through your project with the experts at your local home improvement store.

Pressure washing

Dirt, dead leaves and debris can make even the most beautiful driveway look dull. Rent or buy a pressure washer to blast away the grime — you’ll be amazed by the difference it makes. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors beg you to clean theirs too!

Weeding

Springtime means all those gorgeous flowers are beginning to bloom, but it also means that weeds are starting to rear their ugly heads. Keep your pathways and patio looking pristine by tackling those pesky weeds while they’re small. If you leave them to grow for too long, their roots will disrupt the sand beneath your paving and could cause your bricks to shift.

Lighting

Why not enhance your home with some outdoor lighting this spring? It’s a great way to add an inviting touch and turn a boring backyard into an enticing entertaining space. Securely attach string lights along your eaves and add solar powered lights along the edges of your pathways to bring your home to life.

Screen repair

Giving your screen a deep clean can work wonders when it’s starting to look a little tired. In a bucket, mix 1/4 cup of liquid all-purpose cleaner with 1/2 gallon of water and thoroughly wipe down the inside and outside of your screens. Rinse thoroughly. If your screen is starting to sag or tears are beginning to appear, it might be time for a repair or replacement. Hire a qualified home improvement specialist who will use quality materials and can provide a guarantee for the work.
