Most of us love spending our summer outside, soaking up some sun. If you're looking to update your home, explore some of the best DIY home improvement projects for summer! You could get down to the nitty-gritty and scrub those windows, plant a garden, or check out what needs replacing around the house.
Restain
Whether it's your deck or fence, this is a great way to increase your curb appeal and you can do it yourself. You may need to strip down the wood with a sander to remove any old stain before giving it a fresh coat, but this isn't always necessary. If you're looking for something fresh, check out new stain options.
Improve Landscaping
Perhaps you want fresh fruits, veggies, and spices, or maybe you love flowers. Either way, a great way to spruce up your property is by tending to your landscaping or adding some plants for a splash of color.
Do Some Gardening
Do you have favorite fruits and veggies? Find out what grows in your area and raise your own. Not only can this save on grocery shopping, but it also encourages healthy eating. In addition, you know exactly where the plants came from and what pesticides or other products were used on them. A garden is also a great way to bring the family together—everyone has a chore to tend to.
Build a Shed
One of the best DIY home improvement projects for summer is building a shed. With a shed, you have the perfect space to store bicycles, gardening tools, and other outdoor equipment.
The best thing about building your own shed is the chance for customization. If you have the skills, go ahead and choose the design, but if not, that's okay. You can scour the internet for some great ideas.
Clean the Exterior
After a long winter, the exterior of your home may need some sprucing up, so get a power washer to clean it up. You may also want to:
Wash the windows.
Scrub the garage door.
Clean the gutters.
While you're cleaning, evaluate these features of your home and ensure everything's still working great, making any necessary repairs. Once you've added beautiful accents and scrubbed your home till it sparkles, your house will be the envy of the neighborhood!
