It’s not unusual for people to leave summer renovations to the last minute. Particularly here in the Western Cape, where summer comes upon us so suddenly and it can still be raining in October, we often get caught out.
This article is especially for guesthouse owners who need to be sure they are ready for holiday season rentals, but even to those who might only need renovations in the next year – it is better to prepare now for summer renovations!
Why it matters
Remember that in the case of most renovations (including those we are going to mention here) crews and materials need to be booked well in advance – and particularly for anything like blinds or shutters, which need to be custom-made, you simply can’t wait until a month before the holiday season to make your arrangements.
Also, in fairness to whoever confirms their orders first for anything that requires installation (like floors, blinds and shutters), they will be serviced first, either now, or in the new year.
Some great low-maintenance renovation ideas
Once again, particularly for guesthouse owners, who are always looking for low-maintenance solutions for their properties, here are a few good ideas…
- Fabulous floors – Great floors can not only be very beautiful, giving your home, guesthouse, or offices a special appeal, but flooring like Vinyl and particularly Laminated flooring can be hard-wearing, long-lasting and able to take some tough treatment from boisterous guests and their pets.
- Beautiful blinds – So easy to clean and maintain, custom-made blinds can not only beautify your living spaces, but also add a touch of versatility that curtains can never do.
- Secure, stunning shutters! – For the ultimate in beauty and security, sensational shutters can make any dwelling place one of luxury and a fortress, all in one! A little more expensive, but worth every cent!
- Excellent outdoor renovations – Watch this space for our next series on great low-maintenance products for your outdoors, like Decks, Awnings, and Artificial lawn.
