Summertime means BBQs, beaches, and patio parties. We’ve got one more thing to add to the list: home renovations! Now that the deep freeze of winter is behind us, it’s the perfect time to take a good look at your home to see what areas you can improve. If you’re up for taking on some projects this season, here are a few of the more popular summer renos to consider for your home.

Window Installation

If your windows are old and weathered, it may be time to consider replacing them. An upgrade  to your windows can end up saving you lots of money in the future on your bills. New windows improve your home’s energy efficiency, help lower utility costs, reduce wear & tear on your furnace and air conditioner, and improve the overall comfort of your home. Our team at BestCan are experts at installing super high-efficiency windows that can potentially qualify for ‘green incentive” rebates, like the Canada Greener Homes Loan that offers every qualified homeowner in Ontario up to $40,000 in interest-free loans so homeowners can begin to plan their retrofits.

Replace Your Hardware

An easy way to automatically increase the curb appeal of your home is to change the hardware on your home. These include your wall-mounted mailbox, address numbers, door hardware, and lighting fixtures. By having these replaced you can create a unified look, and also add style and visual interest to your home’s curb appeal. Plus, if you want to go with a theme, this is a great way to do it.

Update Your Vinyl Siding

When it comes to selecting products that are made to withstand variable weather conditions, look to those that incorporate vinyl. Vinyl siding has greatly changed the renovation landscape. The products have become a go-to solution for those looking to enhance the exterior of their home or cottage. Vinyl products offer unsurpassed durability, are offered in a variety of contemporary and modern colours, and the unique finishes ensure that every homeowner can have their ‘personal touch’ and enhance curb appeal at the same time. BestCan proudly works with Royal Building Products and KV Windows & Doors.   

Install A New Front Door

One of the quickest and easiest ways to make a big difference on the outside of your home is to install a new exterior door. You may decide it’s time to replace your door if you notice that drafts are making their way through holes and cracks, or between the door and doorframe or underneath the door.Our award-winning lineup of Entryguard Doors are designed to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient. They are also fabricated for Canada’s extreme climate. New doors have better insulation properties, which allow them to keep the heat in during the winter and keep it out during the summer.
