4 Budget-Friendly Summer Projects

Not only is summer a great time to soak up the sun and enjoy the warm weather, but it also provides the opportunity to give our homes exterior some much-needed TLC. The repairs we put off during the cold winter months can finally be tackled. If you are looking for simple ways to update your property’s exterior, here are 4 budget-friendly summer projects great for any home.

  1. Replace Your Siding– If your home has been around for several years and is showing signs of wear and tear that no simple repair can fix, then you might want to consider replacing your siding entirely. Doing so will also increase your curb appeal, which will prove useful should you decide to sell your home down the road.
  2. Check Your Roofing– You’ll need your interior to be warm and comfortable when winter comes around, so be sure to check your roof for missing shingles and holes that could lead to potential leaks or energy loss. As with your siding, consider replacing your roof if your current one is beyond repair.
  3. Install Gutter Guards– When growing tired of cleaning clogged gutters, many turn to installing gutter guards. This durable yet low-cost solution provides homeowners peace of mind while saving them valuable time unclogging their system. Gutter guards are also a great way to add value to the home.
  4. Adding a Rain Barrel– Environmentally friendly and easy to use, adding a rain barrel can be a great summer project for homeowners looking to take advantage of Mother Nature’s own natural resource, rain water. It can also help keep the water bill low. If the standard blue barrel isn’t your style there are many updated models to choose from that seamlessly blend into any home’s exterior.

From roof replacements to gutter cleaning, we help our customers with all of their exterior needs.
