Exterior remodeling — whether out of a need to repair damages or the want to improve your home — is a pretty big undertaking. And just like every big undertaking, determining what your purpose and goals are first is just as crucial as implementing them.
So before you get started, ask yourself this: why do I want to renovate my house?
The answer may not be as cut and dry as you expect, but identifying it can help in breaking down your goals into clear and actionable steps that are key to the success of your remodeling project.

Now that you may have a better appreciation for setting goals, let’s circle back to the question we posed earlier: why do you want to renovate your house?

Repair or maintenance
This can go one of two ways: you want to fix damages on your exterior or you want to prevent it. Either way, an exterior remodeling project will be called for if you want to ensure the integrity of the facade of your house as well as the safety of the people who live in it.
In this case, your goal may sound like:
“It’s almost rainy season. I need to get the holes on my roof fixed.”
Or possibly something preventive like, “It’s almost rainy season. I want to make sure that there are no holes on my roof.”
