The holidays are over, spring is still months away and the weather outside is dreary – welcome to the February blues. A great way to banish the blahs is to tackle some of those decorating projects you’ve been putting off. Nothing gives your spirits a lift like a change in home décor.

Cleaning or replacing carpeting, wallpapering, painting, upgrading molding and doors, adding new lighting, replacing kitchen cabinets, redoing a bedroom, and kitchen, bathroom and basement renovations are all good winter projects.

Another advantage to winter renovations is the availability of contractors. The winter months are slower for most contractors and by beating the spring rush, you just might find their prices a little lower as well.

If you know you want to freshen your décor, but are not sure how to go about it, consider having a consultation with an Interior Decorator. A decorator can help you assess your needs, plan your project and select colour schemes. They can incorporate your current furnishings and suggest which pieces could be changed or replaced to update your décor. For just over $100, this is a wise investment that can save you countless hours of dithering and prevent costly design errors.

If you are undertaking a major renovation, bring in an architectural designer to help you plan and implement the project. At a minimum, an architectural designer can do the drawings you’ll need and if you wish, they will guide you every step of the process.

A home improvement project might be just the remedy you need for the February blahs, and Homeservice can help! Call 416-925-1111 for a free estimate.

If you are planning on building an addition, moving walls, or are just overwhelmed by the scope of your home renovation project and don’t know where to start, you should consult an architectural designer. Architectural designers are trained problem-solvers and using their services can save you money in costly design mistakes. Their advice can help you navigate the pitfalls of home renovations and deliver the renovation you’ve been dreaming of.

The time to consult an architectural designer is when you have a concrete idea of the type of renovation you would like to do, but before you hire a contractor. Designers are familiar with building codes and laws and can help you choose the most cost-effective building materials and help you incorporate energy-efficiency, use of natural light and accessibility features into your renovation. Here are some of the other ways an architectural designer can help on your next renovation project:

• Meet at your home to discuss your ideas, scope of work and prepare a cost for service proposal;
• Investigate zoning requirements for your neighborhood;
• Prepare design drawings for your comment;
• Modify the design to suite your final requirements;
• Prepare working drawings, which are required by the municipality, for a building permit
• Ask three Homeservice Club contractors to price out the work, based on the permit drawings and any additional requirements you might have, ensuring that all quotes are comparing similar products and scope of work;
• Help you select the right contractor for the job;
• Monitor the construction process for permit compliance, if necessary; and
• Prepare drawings for Committee of Adjustment, if zoning or bylaw variances are needed.
