Home Projects To Ready Your Home For Summer


The spring season is now in full bloom, and summer is approaching quickly. Is social distancing guidelines leaving you a little stir-crazy? Fortunately, when you have to #StayHome, you might be able to find some time to work on some home projects that may have otherwise been neglected. This can be a great learning opportunity for kids who are feeling stir-crazy as well.

Clean Out Your Gutters

Before summer gets here, make sure to clean out your gutters and make way for a worry-free summer season. 

Tidy Up Your Deck 

Your deck is an extension of your home that can be just as beautiful as the inside. Take some time to clean and organize your deck, and maybe add a coat of stain to brighten it up a bit. 

Pruning 

It is important to prune any dead or damaged stems as soon as you see them. Research your specific plants to see when the best time to prune is. 

Air Conditioners

Without proper care our air conditioners might not be working as efficiently as they should be. Change the filters once a year, to ensure your system is performing at its best. 

Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

There is no better time than the present to increase your home’s curb appeal! Put a fresh coat of paint on the exterior of your home, or reseal your deck or fences to preserve longevity and keep your home looking fantastic all year-round. 

Screen Maintenance

Don’t let those pesky flies into your home this summer! Inspect your screens for rips, tears, or holes. You may need to do some patchwork or replacement but you will be able to keep the bugs out and breeze in all summer long. 

Research your projects to ensure you have the appropriate gear and equipment, as stores and businesses may have limited stock, hours, and curbside pickup availability.

Taking advantage of this time may give you a sense of accomplishment and help boost your spirits, during this uncertain time!
