Summer is all about spending time outside with family, friends, and pets. Whether it’s taking a dip in your pool or grilling up a storm on your back patio, the great outdoors thrive during the summer months. But after a long winter and a potentially muddy spring, your home might look a little worse for wear.
Almost 36% of remodeling jobs are the result of property damage, but there’s nothing wrong with investing in a home remodeling project for summer just because. Here are a few of the best home remodeling projects you should invest in this season.
Siding Upgrades
Your home’s siding undoubtedly takes the brunt of weather-related damage, and over time it can crack, fade, and even peel. In addition, siding is the first thing your neighbors and passersby are going to notice about your home. If you need another reason to replace your siding, consider this: according to a 2009-2010 Cost vs. Value Report, siding replacement increased home value with a 79.9% average return on investment. Don’t wait to contact custom home builders to get this project started!
Outdoor Kitchen Remodeling
If you’re looking for a space to upgrade or to add on to a new home this summer, an outdoor kitchen renovation should definitely be at the top of your list. Not only will this create a comfy outdoor setting for summer parties and family dinners, it will allow you to combine a passion for the outdoors with a passion for delicious food. Hosting a barbecue will be ten times easier once this beautiful space is brought to life at the hands of new home builders.
Raised Garden Beds
There’s no better time to upgrade your garden (or start one!) than during the sunny days of summer. There are many creative alternatives to the standard backyard garden, and raised garden beds are a great place to start. With a little DIY know-how, you can use brick, stone, concrete, or reclaimed wood to build raised flowerbeds around your property. With a little bit of soil, seeds, and sunshine, you can have colorful blooms lighting up your yard in no time.
Like we said before, summer is a time to enjoy your home and all of the wonderful things the outdoors has to offer. Combining those things and completing a home remodeling project can enhance your home space and make for a summer to remember.
