Summer Home Improvement Projects That Boost Value and Comfort - Project Home Improvement

Summer has is just around the corner — and with it comes the perfect opportunity to finally tackle those long-overdue home improvement projects. Longer days and better weather make it easier to complete outdoor work, and many upgrades done in the summer can boost your home’s value, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.

Here are some of the most valuable summer home projects to consider:

1. Refresh Your Deck or Patio
If your deck is starting to show signs of wear, now is the time to reseal, stain, or replace boards. An inviting outdoor space is perfect for summer entertaining and can be a major selling point if you’re thinking of listing your home.

Pro Tip: Consider adding built-in seating or outdoor lighting to take your deck to the next level.

2. Upgrade Landscaping for Curb Appeal
Landscaping improvements — like fresh sod, mulching, or a new garden bed — can dramatically improve the look of your property. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to add value to your home.

Quick Win: Plant native, drought-tolerant greenery to save on watering and maintenance.

3. Install or Upgrade Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting enhances safety and ambiance. Solar-powered options are especially popular during the summer and require minimal effort to install.

4. Power Wash and Paint
Summer is the best time for a fresh coat of paint or a deep power washing. Whether it’s your siding, walkway, or garage door, this simple facelift can refresh your entire home’s look.

5. Improve Cooling and Ventilation
Don’t overlook indoor comfort — inspect your HVAC system, add ceiling fans, or install energy-efficient windows to keep your home cool without overloading your utility bill.

6. Get Your Home Ready for Fall
Oddly enough, summer is the perfect time to start planning for fall renovations — roof repairs, window replacements, or insulation improvements are best booked before the rush of colder weather hits.
