10 Home Improvements To Make This Summer

Repair and reseal your deck. Make sure your deck and patio area are ready for outdoor entertaining. Inspect it for damage, remove debris, and apply protective sealants for a nice, clean look.

Add railings for additional safety. Are your outdoor spaces safe and easy to maneuver? Check the stability of railings on your deck or patio and add additional support so you can comfortably enjoy these outdoor spaces.

Pressure wash outdoor areas. Winter and spring can take a toll on your outdoor spaces with residual grime and debris. We love a good power washing to freshen up sidewalks, driveways, patios, decks, and other exterior spaces.

Refresh outdoor lighting. Ensure your outdoor lighting is working properly and consider adding more lighting for safety, including on walkways and entry points.  Upgrading to automatic dusk to dawn light bulbs can make a big difference!

Tidy up your garage and shed. Decluttering, sweeping the floor, and organizing tools and equipment can make a big difference. We also love to help with updated storage solutions for better organization!

Clear your gutters. Spring and summer storms have been on the rise the past few years. Be sure to remove debris from your gutters and downspouts and repair any leaks and damages to be ready when the rain comes.

Inspect your home’s exterior. Repair damages to siding and fill cracks near windows and doors to keep cold air from escaping your home and keep critters out.

Service your air conditioning unit. Ensuring your AC is properly functioning is critical to prepare for hot midwest summers. Be proactive with replacing filters, cleaning the exterior, and avoiding obstructions.

Reverse your ceiling fan rotation. Reversing your ceiling fan blades to move counterclockwise creates a downdraft of cooler air that mimics a nice breeze.

Touch up exterior paint. Cleaning your siding and retouching exterior paint can make a big difference for curb appeal!
