It's high time to start working on those summertime home improvements. You can do several simple things to improve your house this season, from cleaning the outside to sorting out your warm-weather wardrobe. We have compiled a list of the top home renovation tasks that can be completed this summer with the help of custom home builders.
Fix the ceiling fans.
Ceiling fans over a decade old should be replaced with newer, more durable models this summer. A high-quality fan may do double duty by increasing energy efficiency and enhancing indoor air quality.
Clean out your gutters.
When the summer rains come, they can cause your home's gutters to get clogged. Damage from water, like damaged gutters, may result from this. If you want to prevent these problems, cleaning up your gutters and downspouts before the start of summer is the best course of action. Ensure you have a strong ladder, a bucket, and a good set of gloves before cleaning up your gutters by hand. After the leaves, bugs, and dirt have been scooped out and deposited in the bucket, you may wash down the trenches with a water hose to finish the job.
Install better window treatments.
The appropriate window coverings may help keep your home cooler in the summer. A wide variety of window coverings are available, from blackout curtains to motorized roller shades. Window shades are a great way to enhance the aesthetics of your house and protect your furnishings from harmful ultraviolet rays and glare.
Create a gallery wall.
If it's too hot to go outside this summer, work on inside projects. Adding a gallery wall to your house is a fun and simple method to revamp the decor. You can make a gallery wall from things you already have, whether family pictures, bright artwork, or a combination.
Plant shade trees
If you want to save money on air conditioning, it's worth braving the summer heat to plant shade trees. Trees planted in shady areas may shield your home from the sun and provide aesthetic value to your yard. Maple trees, oak trees, linden trees, ginkgo trees, and elm trees are all great options for providing shade. Before making this purchase, you should consult a tree specialist at a local nursery to see which species might thrive in your yard.
