Projects to tackle this summer

There’s no better time than summer to work on outdoor projects at home. Not only can you avoid working in the cold, but you can stick around in the warm weather to enjoy the results once the work’s done. From repairing storm damage to adding a deck, here are some options for sprucing up your home’s exterior in the summertime.


If it’s broken, fix it.

Repairing damage should be the first step you take to get your house looking its best. If a part of your house needs structural repair after a storm, a fire or water damage, get that fixed before doing any cosmetic work. If your roof or siding is in bad shape from a falling tree, high winds, a hail storm or debris, look into replacing any missing shingles or damaged siding. Fixing these issues doesn’t just make your house look better, but helps keep your home protected from future damage.

Boost your home’s curb appeal.

Replacing your siding with a more durable, weather-resistant material can keep your home protected from storm damage and can revamp its look with a pop of color and character. Summer is the perfect time to replace your roofing or siding. Not sure if it’s time? If you have any curled, broken, loose or missing shingles, you may be due for a replacement. Call a roofing expert for extra guidance choosing new shingles that fit your style and budget.



Elevate your outdoor space.

If you have extra space on your property, why not make the most of it? Adding a deck, porch or patio is the perfect way to upgrade your house and yard. Decks and porches expand your home with a raised outdoor space and are a project that requires a little more work to accomplish. If you’re looking for something quicker, a ground-level patio is another great way to personalize the way your home looks on the outside. Whichever you choose is sure to boost your home’s value and give you some quality space to enjoy with family and friends. If you decide to add a deck or patio, be sure to get help from a home improvement company to ensure your deck or porch is built safely.


With these tips in mind, you can choose which outdoor projects you want to take on this summer to spruce up your home’s exterior—and then enjoy it.
