Home Improvements to Make This Summer
Summer is the perfect time to tackle home improvement projects. With longer days and better weather, it’s easier to get work done—and to enjoy the results. But even if summer feels like it will last forever, it’s important to make the most of the season while it’s still here. Luckily, our team at Magnuson is here to help.
Today, we’re exploring three great home improvements we’ll help you make this summer!
1. Deck Repairs and Outdoor Upgrades
Your deck or patio should be a space you enjoy all summer long, but wear and tear from Michigan winters can take a toll. Now’s the time to repair loose boards, fix railings, or refinish wood surfaces. A well-maintained deck not only looks better, but it’s also safer and more durable. Thinking about something new? Consider adding built-in seating, a pergola for shade, or even an outdoor kitchen area to extend your living space into the backyard.
Don’t forget about power washing! Giving your deck, siding, or walkways a deep clean can dramatically improve curb appeal—and it’s a quick way to make everything look like new.
2. Gutter Cleaning and Roofline Maintenance
Clogged or damaged gutters can lead to serious issues like water damage, foundation cracks, and roof leaks. Summer is the perfect time to clean out leaves and debris, inspect for sagging or broken sections, and ensure your drainage system is working as it should.
While you’re at it, it’s wise to have your roofline checked. Soffits, fascia, and shingles all play a role in protecting your home from the elements. Minor repairs now can save you from major problems during fall storms or winter snow.
3. Interior Refresh and Small Repairs
A little goes a long way inside your home, too. Summer is a great time to patch drywall, paint rooms, install new light fixtures, or update trim and molding. These small changes can breathe new life into your space and help prepare your home for future gatherings, guests, or just a more comfortable daily routine.
On top of that, our team will also handle repairs that have been sitting on your to-do list for far too long—things like sticking doors, broken cabinet hinges, or outdated caulking. Tackling these now means fewer headaches later.
