Do you dream of a new exterior every time you pull into the driveway of your home? Is upping the curb appeal of your property on your wish list?
In Northern Utah and Southern Idaho, where extreme weather takes its toll, smart home upgrades can transform your home’s exterior—without draining your savings account.
Cover Up Construction has helped homeowners like you across Box Elder, Franklin, and Bear Lake counties upgrade their homes. We show homeowners that remarkable home exterior transformations don’t require remarkable spending.
From quick weekend projects to strategic improvements that pay for themselves through energy savings, you’re about to discover 4 budget-friendly exterior upgrades that maximize your home’s curb appeal.
1. Quick and Affordable Makeovers
Transform your front door for under $100 with a fresh coat of paint in colors that withstand Utah and Idaho’s harsh climate. Light neutrals and earth tones like beige, tan, and light grey hold up exceptionally well against intense UV exposure and temperature swings.
Replace outdated hardware with modern matte black or brushed nickel fixtures to instantly improve your entryway’s appearance.
2. Save Money with Strategic Timing
Winter months between October and March offer the best value, with contractors typically charging significantly less than peak season. The colder months also provide ideal conditions for exterior paint adhesion due to lower humidity levels.
However, avoid scheduling work when temperatures drop below 40°F, as this can affect material performance. For mountain regions, schedule exterior cleaning and painting projects during fall’s stable weather patterns.
Cover Up Construction’s professional teams are experienced with regional climate challenges and can help determine the optimal timing for your specific project.
3. Smart Window Investments
In Northern Utah and Southern Idaho’s extreme climate, ENERGY STAR-certified windows with a U-factor of 0.30 or less are essential for maximum energy efficiency.
Triple-pane windows with low-E coatings can reduce your heating costs by up to 40% compared to single-pane options.
By installing energy-efficient windows and other components, Utah residents can save at least $1200 annually on utility bills.
Cover Up Construction’s professional window installation ensures proper sealing and insulation, critical for achieving a reduction in energy costs that modern materials can provide.
4. Durable Protection for Less
Fiber cement siding stands as the optimal choice for mountain climates, offering superior protection against dramatic temperature swings and intense weather patterns.
This material resists impacts from hail, withstands winds up to 130 mph, and maintains integrity through countless freeze-thaw cycles.
