Summer is a great time to tackle home-improvement projects. The weather is usually more predictable, days are longer, and the conditions are often more favorable for both indoor and outdoor work. Here are some home-improvement projects that are perfect to cross off your list during the summer months:
OUTDOOR PROJECTS
1. Deck or Patio Construction/Improvement:
Summer is the best time for building or improving a deck or patio. It'll be ready in time for you to enjoy the outdoors.
2. Landscaping and Gardening:
Plant new shrubs, flower beds, or even a vegetable garden. Consider also installing a new irrigation system for more efficient watering.
3. Power Wash Exterior:
Clean your home's exterior, driveway, and walkways to remove grime and dirt that have built up over the months.
4. Paint or Stain Exterior:
Freshen up the look of your home with new paint or stain. Summer's dry weather often provides the ideal conditions for this.
5. Install or Repair Fencing:
The dry ground makes it easier to install or repair fencing.
6. Roof Repair or Replacement:
The clear skies of summer are perfect for roofing projects. Always consider professional help for this, unless you are very experienced.
7. Install Outdoor Lighting:
Enjoy those summer nights even more with new outdoor lighting, perhaps even some solar-powered options.
8. Build or Update a Firepit:
A firepit can be a great addition for summer nights spent outdoors.
9. Install a New Mailbox:
This is a simple project that can improve the curb appeal of your home.
INDOOR PROJECTS
1. Repaint Rooms:
Open windows can help ventilate areas where you're painting or staining.
2. Install a Ceiling Fan:
Keep your home cool and your energy bills lower.
3. Insulate the Attic:
This can help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
4. Update Kitchen or Bathroom Fixtures:
Swap out faucets, showerheads, or cabinet hardware for a quick refresh.
5. Install New Flooring:
Whether it's hardwood, laminate, or tile, summer is a good time to update your flooring.
6. Reorganize and Declutter:
Use the season as a reason to get rid of stuff you don't need and organize what remains.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS
1. Seal Gaps and Leaks:
Improve your home’s energy efficiency by sealing gaps and leaks around windows, doors, and electrical outlets.
2. Install Solar Panels:
Take advantage of the long days to capture more solar energy.
3. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances:
Look for ENERGY STAR-rated appliances when making upgrades.
Remember, some of these projects may require permits and/or professional assistance, so plan accordingly. Happy home improving!
