Revitalise Your Property’s Exterior

Gary Newell • 1 March 2024

Freshen up your property's exterior.

As the winter chill gradually gives way to the warmth of spring, homeowners across the country are gearing up for a much-needed exterior makeover. The upcoming months provide the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into your home's facade, and with the right planning, you can transform it into a welcoming and visually appealing space. 


Book in Advance for Ideal Weather Conditions

One of the critical factors for successful exterior painting and decorating is the weather. Spring and early summer offer the ideal conditions for outdoor projects, with milder temperatures and lower humidity. At Jigsaw Construction Surrey, we advise our customers to ensure they secure a spot in our schedule by booking well in advance. Early planning allows for flexibility, ensuring that your project aligns perfectly with the weather window for optimal results.


Comprehensive Exterior Renovation

When it comes to extensive exterior work, especially involving painting at heights, using scaffolding is often indispensable. Scaffolding provides a stable platform for our painters and decorators to access various parts of the exterior, ensuring a thorough and even application of paint. It also facilitates other essential tasks, such as cleaning or replacing facia and soffit, along with guttering and pipes.


Facia, Soffit, Guttering, and Pipes

While painting is an integral part of exterior rejuvenation, at Jigsaw Construction, we advise a holistic approach by addressing the surrounding elements such as facias, soffits, guttering, and pipes. These play a significant role in the overall aesthetics and functionality of your home. During the warmer months, it's an opportune time to inspect these components for any signs of wear, damage, or clogging. A comprehensive approach to your exterior renovation ensures not only a visually appealing finish but also the long-term structural integrity of your home.


Safety First

When working at heights, safety should be a top priority. Our professional painters and decorators are experienced in working with scaffolding. This ensures not only a beautiful outcome but also the safety of everyone involved. Additionally, we are equipped to identify potential issues with facia, soffit, guttering, and pipes, providing solutions before they escalate.


Enhance Curb Appeal

Selecting the right colours can significantly enhance your home's curb appeal. Consider the architectural style, landscaping, and neighbourhood aesthetic when choosing your colour palette. Earthy tones, vibrant accents, or classic neutrals can all contribute to a fresh and inviting exterior. Jigsaw Construction Surrey will discuss options with you so you can choose colours to suit your requirements. 


So, as the days grow longer and the weather becomes more favourable, now is the time to seize the opportunity to transform your home's exterior. Through careful planning, the use of scaffolding for accessibility, and a holistic approach to facia, soffit, guttering, and pipes, your home can undergo a stunning facelift. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for guidance and expertise, ensuring a safe and quality outcome for your painting and decorating project.
