If you’re planning a full house renovation, you might only be thinking about the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms, but what about the exterior? It’s easy to leave it at the bottom of the list, but in reality, it is just as important as the interior. Exterior renovations increase comfort, energy efficiency, add to security and to your home’s curb appeal.
Peak Improvements specializes in designing cohesive full house renovations that include the exterior. Let’s explore why the outside of your home deserves equal attention. Below, we’ll discuss some of the best updates to consider and how they can tie everything together for a renovation that looks amazing inside and out.
The Exterior Of Your Full House Renovations
Exterior renovations might be one of your lower priorities because they feel so much bigger than a kitchen or bathroom renovation. It’s not uncommon to only do patchwork on the exterior of a home, like new roof shingles or a paint job. Here are some of the reasons it’s more efficient to renovate the entire exterior.
Weatherproofing: Upgrades to your siding, windows, and roofing protect the interior
Energy efficiency: Modern exterior materials and insulation can significantly reduce utility bills
Design harmony: Cohesive interior and exterior updates, especially with colours and materials, create a seamless look and feel.
Impactful Exterior Renovation Ideas
Siding and Cladding
Update dated exteriors with a modern look, like vertical panels or composite siding. Contrast the siding with metal, wood, or stone accents to add texture. Take advantage of added insulation and improving your homes building envelope.
Windows and Doors
Energy-efficient triple-pane windows reduce bills, reduce sound and improve comfort. Choose a unique window frame colour or a modern black frame. New entry doors improve resale value, safety, and style.
Roofing
Aging roofs undermine all other renovation efforts. Complement your exterior siding with an architectural shingle or explore a rubber roof.
Garage Doors
Swap out the old-style garage doors and add something with windows. Replace your opener with a wall mount track which provides you with added storage space.
Plan Your Outdoor Living Space
Decks, patios, and pergolas provide additional livable space, which is always welcome in Alberta’s short, warm months. Covered spaces extend usability and shelter from the elements while allowing you to enjoy the outdoors. Built-in BBQs, outdoor lighting, heaters or sound systems can make a backyard more modern and functional.
We recommend designing the outdoor space alongside your interior renovations to create a proper flow and future accessibility. Even if you’re planning to do the renovations in phases, planning all at once ensures you move forward instead of making rework.
Match Your Interior With Your Exterior
Design consistency creates a higher resale value and an elevated final result. It allows for coordinated materials and a cohesive flow to the home.
