5 Great End-of-Summer Home Improvement Upgrades to Do Now Before you know it, the summer months come to an end and you are left wondering what you have done with the house. Usually, the summer months just go by in lazing around. However, let us not forget that before the summer comes to an end and the autumn chill sets in, there are a number of household chores that need to be completed. Let’s take a look a look at some of these household improvement or upgrades that need to be completed before the summer months come to an end. 1. Opt for a New Look — Put on a Fresh Coat of Paint If you have been meaning to paint your house for some time but not getting around to it due to the heat and humidity in the air, then this is an ideal time to pick up this project. Not only will a fresh coat of paint help the house look better, but it will also protect the house against the onslaught of the rains once they start. A cooler weather also makes it possible to keep the windows open while you paint, so that the smell dissipates faster. Do remember to cover your floors before you start so that you can avoid having to clean up a bigger mess once you finish. 2. Make the Outdoor Area more Useful If you have not gotten around to making full use of your outdoor area, this is a great time to pick up that project. You can make the outdoor area more usable by handling any improvement tasks to your existing
patio, pool or deck area. Paulette Applegarth real estate agent believes that as the summer comes to an end, it will be time to retire your patio furniture. So it is a good idea to wipe them down properly and take care to keep them ready to be stored away as the weather changes. 3. Maximize the Natural Light coming in by Sprucing up Those Windows As the days become shorter with the sunlight becoming less and less, it is time to take a look at your windows and think about how you can maximize the amount of natural light entering your home. Start by giving your windows a thorough washing. This banishes the dirt and dust that accumulates over the summer months. You can wipe the inside of the windows with a microfiber cloth. 4. Tidy up the Garage All top realtors are of the opinion that it is a good idea to keep your garage clutter free. Actually, realtors have seen that it is only about 30% of homeowners who actually keep a car in the garage. The garage generally gets used as a storage area. So tidy up and clean out the clutter. Throw out everything that is not being used. Arrange the items by type and add shelves wherever they are needed.
5. Do Up your Landscaping Going into fall, the landscape area starts looking worse for wear. The summer months takes its toll on your flower beds and overall landscape. So tidying up the landscape, doing up your garden and attending to the well being of your landscaping is a good idea. Come fall, in any ways dried leaves and debris will have to be removed. So it is a good idea to at least tidy up whatever can be done before the fall months arrive. Sprucing up your lawn is also important if you are planning to sell your house in the near future. So don’t wait for the summer months to come to end and the autumn chill to set in. Start with the home improvement projects before the time runs out and you are left wondering where the time went.
