Spring in the Ozarks is the season of fresh starts, and that makes it the perfect time to give your home’s exterior a fresh new look. Whether it’s updating your siding, replacing your roofing system, or simply reimagining your home’s curb appeal, spring offers the ideal weather and energy for home improvement projects.

At Advanced Restorations, we’ve helped homeowners throughout Southwest Missouri plan and execute successful spring renovations. If you’re thinking about making exterior updates this season, here’s your guide to getting started the smart way.

Start Planning Early

The best spring projects are the ones that are well planned ahead of time. If you wait until April or May to start thinking about your project, you may run into contractor scheduling delays or product backorders.

Start now by:

• Identifying your goals (curb appeal, energy efficiency, damage repair, etc.)

• Taking photos of your current exterior

• Listing what you like and what you’d like to change
  

A little forethought can go a long way in making your renovation smooth and stress-free.

Set a Budget and Prioritize

Once you know what you want to improve, it’s time to establish a budget. Ask yourself:

• How much are you willing to spend?

• Are you updating for your own enjoyment, or for resale?

• What updates are “must-do” vs. “nice to have”?
  

Popular spring exterior updates in the Ozarks include:

• New or updated siding

• Full or partial roof replacements

• Gutter systems and downspout upgrades

• New shutters, trim, or front entry accents
  

Working with a contractor like Advanced Restorations can help you prioritize what updates will give you the best return on your investment, both in property value and peace of mind.

Choose Materials That Perform in the Ozarks Climate

Our region sees everything from spring windstorms and heavy rain to scorching summer sun. That means your materials need to look great and stand up to the elements.

Consider options like:

• Fiber cement or vinyl siding with UV resistance

• Architectural asphalt shingles rated for wind and hail

• Energy-efficient trim and insulation upgrades

We always help our clients choose durable, high-performing materials that match both their style and the demands of Southwest Missouri’s climate.

Visualize Before You Customize

Before you commit to a color scheme or design update, it helps to actually see what your home will look like. That’s where our AI Home Designer tool comes in.

Simply upload a photo of your house and explore:

• Different siding colors and textures

• New roof shingle styles and tones

• Trim, accent, and detail combinations

• Full exterior mockups to compare before and after
  

The tool applies realistic visuals to your actual home image, so you can make confident decisions before any materials are ordered or crews are scheduled.
