^^^ This.
Plus, if you want it done by spring, you have already waited too long. The contractors you want are already booked, you will pay too much if you can find someone, or you will get very poor work.
Second your advice. I made the mistake (twice) of updating our home prior to sale and got nothing back for the trouble (actually lost a lot). The second time I took out a 2nd mortgage to cover the costs. I was a dumb kid.
