May Is Home Improvement Month

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Does your home need a bit of updating or improving? May is National Home Improvement Month so it is a good time to evaluate and plan home improvements for your home.

Before the weather gets too hot to work outside, talk a walk around your home and give an honest assessment of what really needs to be done. The exterior of your home makes an instant impression on every person that sees it – your friends and family, as well as your neighbors. While the weather is mild, get outside, evaluate and fix the problem areas. Improve the landscape and make repairs before it gets too hot. Invest in products that improve your home’s exterior and add value to the quality of your home life.

On the exterior of your home, there are three general areas that a homeowner should evaluate every spring: the roof, the windows and the entry area. These three areas have a great impact on curb appeal as well as your home’s value. All three offer the inside of your home protection from severe weather. If your windows and roof are in need of repair and you don’t take care of them, you’re looking at increased energy bills as well as a growing problem that can cost more to repair the longer you wait.

If you need to make home improvements, call Regal Home Improvement. As Virginia’s oldest home improvement company, we are experts in improving your home and the time you spend in it. Give us a call.

Freshen up your Front Porch

Front Porch built by Regal Home Improvement

New Front Porch

Does your house need a face-lift?  Homeowners are frequently searching for ways to increase the value and update the appearance of their homes. One simple way to increase your home’s value that will provide maximum impact with minimal cost is to change the front porch. Such a small project can have a huge impact on your property’s curb appeal. The front porch is one of the first things people will see as they approach your home. Studies show that 80% of home buyers now view a home for the first time on the internet making curb appeal even more important, according to the National Association of Realtors.

This project may be as small a task as rebuilding the railings. Or you may want a more dramatic change.  Make a “wish list” of details you want your front porch to include. Do you want an open porch or maybe a covered porch instead? You may want columns to replace existing posts.  Anything that you want, Regal Home Improvement is here to help you.  Our company has been improving the curb appeal of people’s homes with new front porches in Richmond for over sixty years.  Our team of experts is also available in Fredericksburg, Charlottesville and Williamsburg.  Call us at 800-447-1949.
