Are you ready to create some lasting memories? No matter whether it’s enjoying the company of family or taking in the beautiful landscapes of Canada, there is always a little piece of paradise that can be found. You don’t, however, have to travel very far to find your oasis. With a few renovations, you can create a world that reflects you and your family — and projects of this kind also help to protect your investment. “Renovations add value to your property,” says Sylvain Renaud, vice president, personal lines at Intact Insurance. “Before you do any renovation work, my first tip is to contact your broker to make sure you’re sufficiently covered.” If your driveway is pushing 20 years old, it’s probably time to redo it. The materials in asphalt start to fail over time and patching up spots is only a temporary fix for a bigger problem. Warmer months provide the perfect opportunity to create a smooth, bump free driveway, with time and higher temperatures being key factors to avoid premature hardening.
