The first quarter of the year is usually the time when many homeowners think about home improvement projects. The freezing weather has may have kept you inside for a while, but now the prospect of sprucing up your home has your creativity peaking.Here are four handy tips from A&A Services to help you get the best from your home improvement endeavors this first quarter:

1. Plan and Prioritize

There are many things to consider so you’ll need to plan ahead. What kind of project do you want to do? How will it impact your home for the rest of the year? For instance, as winter gradually gives way to spring, you might want to give your roofing system a thorough inspection.

As Salem gutters specialists, we can check for any residual damage from the harsh cold and ensure that your entire roofing system is up to the task of protecting your home for the rest of the year.

2. Don’t Skimp on Energy Saving Upgrades

As energy prices continue to rise, it only makes sense to go for projects that can potentially lower your monthly bills. These upgrades can come at an additional cost, but you will typically recoup it through the energy savings that follow for years to come. Some of these projects include replacement windows, doors, and thicker insulation. Talk to A&A Services about your needs and we will provide an array of options to suit your budget and preferences.

3. Compare Remodeling Costs with Costs of New Purchases

Your home is your most important investment, so it’s always a good idea to think of it in financial terms and not just living quality alone. How much value will an upgrade add to your home? Will it be better to buy a new product or remodel an existing one?

4. Define Your Sense of Style

The first quarter offers an opportunity to define the style of your home for the rest of the year. Consider your door, siding, and color options and go bold with your personal sense of style.

“I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!”

“A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.”
