Summer is the perfect time of year for outdoor activities like swimming, bike riding, and neighborhood cookouts. This time of year is also popular for yard work and the completion of home improvement projects. In fact, many remodeling companies say that summer is one of their busiest times of the year, as homeowners look to boost the appeals of their homes for the summer and prepare for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.

If you’re considering completing some work around your house this summer but aren’t sure where to start, here’s a list of the top 10 home improvement projects for the summer:

  1. Get a new rain drainage system – As autumn approaches, you want your rain drainage system to be in tip-top shape for when leaves start falling off the trees. Falling leaves can clog your rain drainage system, which is why clean rain drainage systems are worth the summertime investment.
  2. Replace your windows – Summer is the perfect time to replace your windows, which can help reduce drafts and maximize your home’s energy efficiency in both the dog days of summer and depths of winter.
  3. Upgrade your siding – New siding not only boosts curb appeal, but products such as HardiePlank® Siding from James Hardie also protects your home against the elements.
  4. Have a new roof installed – Whether you want traditional asphalt shingles or durable metal roofing, summer is a great time to upgrade.
  5. Add new insulation – Adding new insulation in the summer will help maximize energy efficiency and prepare your home for the coldest months of the year.
  6. Pressure wash your deck – Decks are a popular summertime hangout, which is why it is the perfect time to clean them off and improve their appearance.
  7. Remodel outdoor spaces – Remodel outdoor spaces such as pergolas and pool areas to create fun spaces for guests.
  8. Improve your landscaping – Summer is a great time to trim hedges and place mulch in your flowerbeds.
  9. Repair cracked concrete – Improve your walkways or driveways to remove unsightly cracks or imperfections.
  10. Replace miscellaneous items – Replace your doorbells, mailboxes, or even kitchen cabinet hardware in the summer. Take a vacation day and do a little DIY work around the house – there’s nothing quite like it!
