1. Planning

Before you do anything, sit down and plan your renovation project. Discuss it with your partner and family, and start off by getting clear about what you want to achieve. Write down your list of tasks in order of priority (see below if you want to know how to prioritise). Set a realistic schedule and budget. If you have major improvements in mind, find out if you need any municipal permits and apply for them.

2. Fixing the Exterior

You may want to address the exterior first. Start with the basics by checking the roof and gutters and focusing on any necessary repairs and upgrades. Check your exterior walls for cracks or damage, and take the necessary steps to repair them. A coat of paint does a world of good. Next, you can check windows and doors. Do they need resealing or replacing? Inspect all your outdoor structures, such as decks, railings, or fences. Wooden structures may need repair and refinishing.

3. Enhancing the Interior

When you turn your attention to the interior of your home, focus on updating the aesthetic with new colours and textures – a coat of paint, new furniture, etc. Perhaps the time has come to update your kitchen and bathrooms with new tiles and fittings. You can also refresh the entire look of your house by rearranging furniture and finding ways to optimise your space.

4. What to Prioritise

If you are unsure where to start, here are a few pointers:

• In the interior, prioritise high traffic areas like kitchens or bathrooms.
• Exterior updates, even as simple as a new coat of paint, have a remarkable impact on your house’s aesthetic and curb appeal.
