Most homeowners don’t notice exterior problems until they become expensive. Peeling paint, soft spots, loose trim, clogged gutters, or small cracks in siding don’t look like much — but in a wet climate like the Lower Mainland, those small issues turn into major repairs faster than people realize.
At Aftermath Contracting, we’ve repaired homes where a simple $300 fix turned into $8,000 worth of water damage because it was ignored for one season too long. That’s why exterior maintenance isn’t just “upkeep” — it’s protection.
🔨 1. Small Exterior Issues Spread Fast
Rain, moisture, and temperature changes can turn tiny problems into big on...
Most homeowners wait until spring or summer to start their renovation projects. It feels like the “right time” — warmer weather, longer days, and a general sense of productivity.
Cold drafts sneaking through your home aren’t just annoying—they’re a sign that something in your house isn’t working the way it should. Many homeowners don’t realize that drafts often point to deeper issues hiding behind walls, flooring, insulation, and older windows. Left alone, these problems can slowly increase energy bills, cause moisture buildup, and shorten the lifespan of your home’s structure.
A fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look and feel of your home. Whether it’s brightening up a dull living room, refreshing your exterior, or giving your kitchen a modern update, painting is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to increase your home’s value and boost its appeal.
In the home-renovation world, most homeowners think contractors are always busy.
When homeowners think about upgrading their space, the two rooms that make the biggest impact are bathrooms and kitchens. These areas aren’t just functional — they’re where comfort, style, and daily routines all come together.
