Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects

Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects

July 6, 2023
Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Home Improvement Projects Are you one of those homeowners who love the idea of a well-maintained home, but you just seem to put things off and don't know why? Maybe you aren't sure where to start or what to tackle first. Maybe you think you just don’t have the extra cash to invest. Or, you just don’t think you have the time to do it on your own. The good news is, the summer season might just be the perfect time to embark on those home improvement projects you've been dreaming of. From painting and repairs to yard enhancements, summer provides the ideal conditions to turn your house into your dream home. And at TruBlue House Care, we are ready to assist you every step of the way. Why Summer? The beauty of summer extends beyond sunny beaches and barbeque parties. It also brings optimal conditions for home improvement. Here's why: 1. Ideal Weather: Summer is an excellent time for home renovations due to its reliably warm and dry conditions. Unlike the unpredictable weather of other seasons, summer allows for seamless outdoor work, whether it's repainting your house exterior or revitalizing your yard, without the worry of rain-induced delays. 2. Longer Days: The extended daylight hours of summer provide more time for home improvement projects. With daylight lasting well into the evening, you can accelerate tasks such as deck replacements, exterior and interior painting, or roof installations, making the most of natural light and saving on energy. 3. Vacation Time: Summer vacations offer an excellent opportunity to progress home renovations while avoiding living amidst construction. Entrust your home improvement tasks to TruBlue while you're on holiday, and return to a beautifully renovated and refreshed home. Or plan to spend some of your vacation money on a do-it -ourself renovation - and enjoy the benefits for years to come! Projects Perfect for Summer While some projects can be handled anytime, certain ones are best suited for the summer months. Here are a few: 1. Painting: Warm temperatures are perfect for exterior and interior painting projects. Paint dries quickly and evenly in dry, warm conditions, which makes summer the optimal time to refresh your home's appearance. 2. Landscaping: Whether you want a complete yard makeover or a simple refresh, summer is an ideal time. A little updating goes a long way to maintaining a vibrant, lush outdoor space perfect for summer gatherings. 3. Deck and Patio Improvements: Decks and patios are places to relax and entertain in the summer. So, why not make yours as comfortable and inviting as possible? From building a new one to maintaining an existing one, we’ve got you covered. 4. Roofing and Gutter Maintenance: Prevent leaks and water damage by scheduling roof and gutter maintenance during the dry months. Let our team help you identify and fix issues before they become costly repairs. How TruBlue Can Assist Whether you're planning a small refresh or a complete overhaul, TruBlue is here to assist with a wide array of services. Here's how we can help: 1. Comprehensive Home Repair, Renovation and Maintenance Services: TruBlue offers an all-inclusive approach to home improvement. Our services range from handyman projects, simple repairs, to-do list chores, , and preventative maintenance, to more complex projects like bathroom renovations and senior home safety modifications..

Professional, Trusted Technicians: We have a team of background checked, bonded and insured, skilled, reliable professionals who take pride in their work. Our team is not only efficient but also committed to delivering the highest quality workmanship and customer service possible. 3. Customized Services: At TruBlue, we understand that each home and homeowner is unique. That's why we offer customized services to match your specific needs and preferences.

Our “let us be the first call” approach means you only need to make one call, and we'll either handle to job ourselves or help you find a reliable specialist to help you take care of your needs. So, why wait? Make the most of this summer while the sun's still shining! And let us help you where you need it. No job is too small. It’s time to turn your home improvement dreams into reality.

Getting your House ready for July 4th Inside and Out

June 29, 2022
Summer is a busy time for all of us full of vacations, sporting events, and holidays. One of the most important of these holidays is July 4th. July 4th is a time to celebrate our country and spend time with our friends and family. As we look forward to enjoying this holiday, let’s think about how much work goes into hosting holiday celebrations. There are plenty of house maintenance tasks that need to happen if you are to thoroughly enjoy any of your holiday and summer celebrations. The most important type of maintenance work for hosting any sort of event in the summer is making sure that your outdoor space is clean and tidy. Maintenance such as power washing, landscaping, and properly setting up your patio/deck are extremely important for enjoying the summer months. Power washing helps bring life back to your house, patio, or deck and removes years of staining wear and tear from them, while landscaping helps make your yard look and feel much more cozy. Removing plant debris also prevents bugs from invading much of your space. A fun touch for any outdoor party; installing new surround sound speakers, this makes your outdoor area much more of an entertainment and space meant to share with your friends and family. The last great maintenance task for truly making your outdoor space great is doing a seasonal deep clean of your grill. Cleaning your grill only takes around 30 minutes to an hour and will make sure that your grill is up and running properly, plus it’ll make sure your food is tasting as great as possible. Although the outside is extremely important for entertaining throughout the summer, the inside of your home is just as if not more important. July is a great month to be sitting outside, however it is the hottest month of the year, which is why it is great to be able to cool off inside. One of the most important maintenance items when it comes to the summer is making sure that you have a working air conditioning unit. Air conditioners can be extremely costly to fix if broken, and they typically need to have filters replaced every 90 days. Another extremely important maintenance item people typically overlook is dryer vent cleaning. Dryer vent cleaning is extremely important because they become clogged with lint, causing 2,900 fires per year and $35 million in property loss. These maintenance tasks typically forgotten can really help bring some life back into your house and make it the perfect place to be this summer. No matter what you need this summer, Our TruBlue Tru-Pro Handymen are here to help!

7 Backyard Projects for Maximum Summer Fun

May 26, 2022
With the summer in full swing, people are going to be spending much more time outside. Whether people are spending this time with friends or family or if they’re enjoying the outdoors alone, having a nice yard is key when it comes to enjoying your summer. We’ve already talked about ways to keep your yard safe for the summer season, read it here, but now we want to talk about fun additions to your set up. There are many different things you can add to your yard to help make it as welcoming as it can be. We decided to compile a list of some projects that you can do in your own backyard to bring some life to it. 1. Building a Paver Patio. One of the first things you can do to help make your backyard as welcoming as possible is to give yourself some outdoor space to sit down in. A custom paver patio is a great spot to sit around and just hangout with your friends and family. Paver patios are highly customizable as well. You are able to choose the type, shape, size, and color of the pavers and you’re able to customize how big you want your patio to be. Paver patios also do not require an incredible amount of materials other than the pavers themselves and some sand. 2. Building a Fire Pit/Grills. Fire Pits are a staple in summer activities, and they really tie together a backyard. Whether you're just using the fire pit for warmth on a windy summer night or making smores with the neighborhood kids, they are excellent for bringing people together. Fire pits aren’t too hard to make either, get some patio pavers and stack them on top of each other in a circle and, tada, you’ve got a fire pit. Fire pits are great for making some small treats such as smores, but making a built-in grill can be great for cooking anything else. Grills are the perfect backyard accessory for welcoming families over to a backyard grill out. Grills, although not as cheap as a fire pit, are much more useful when it comes to creating meals compared to something as simple as smores. 3. Kids Play Area. Another great project that you could do in your yard is building a dedicated kids play area. Kids play areas could be anything from a playground, a tire swing, or even a sandbox. These kids' play areas will help encourage them away from their screens, and to be outside with their friends. Involve your kids in the process, allow them to choose between two playsets, or even help you set it up. The more ownership kids get in the process the more pride they will put into their play. Getting your kids outdoors can not only be good for them, but also for you, giving yourself some precious freetime to relax. 4. Gazebo/Canopy. Depending on where you live, in the summer months you know that sometimes it can get really hot, and staying in the shade is essential. One of the best and most appealing ways of staying cool is to build a canopy over your back patio or deck. Canopies not only look great but also function amazingly in shading you from the sun. Gazebos are another great backyard project as they can provide a great shaded comfortable area to chill out and read a book. Lastly, Pergolas are also great for those who want to be even more shaded, but still have plenty of sun. All of these different options provide you with many different ways to enjoy your outdoor space and stay shaded this summer. 5. Redoing Decks. Decks are a great place to lounge and host gatherings, however many people’s decks have been neglected over the years. Decks can become worn out and lose the shine that they used to have. Whether your deck has a few holes in it, needs to be restrained or painted or just completely redone it’s a great backyard project. Decks can also have a lot of splinter pieces that could also catch on someone’s foot or paw if you aren't careful, regular sanding and maintenance of your deck could also be a good thing to do to help prevent injury. 6. Water Features. Water Features are a great way to spice up your backyard. Water features can be anything from installing a pond, a fountain, or even putting in a small pool. Ponds are a great way to make your backyard look great and come to life. Patio Pavers and decks can be built around ponds to make your yard feel like a jungle, and provide a seamless transition between the various features of your backyard. Pools are also a great way to cool off and relax during the hot summer days and above ground pools are both an affordable way to cool off as well as an efficient way to enjoy your summers. 7. Privacy Fencing and Landscaping. One of the most important projects you could do in your backyard is landscaping. Landscaping is extremely important for making sure that your yard looks inviting and beautiful. Making sure that your flowerbeds are mulched properly and that your trees are trimmed help turn a potentially ugly yard into a beautiful yard. Another great project that your yard could use is a privacy fence. Privacy fences are especially great if you have pets, however they are just as useful without them. Privacy fencing can make your backyard look so much more enclosed and safe, without privacy fencing your yard can feel like it bleeds into your neighbors and vice versa. Overall, keeping your yard well landscaped and properly fenced in truly makes your yard feel like home. Each of these many different yard projects can really just add to the feel of your backyard and make it a much more enjoyable place to be. When you combine yard projects such as a paver patio and a firepit together it can really just bring your whole yard together and give it a more cozy feel. Overall, these yard projects are the perfect to keep you occupied for this summer. TruBlue and our skilled handyman are equipped to help you out with many of these tasks, if you run into trouble completing them or want professional and helpful service from the start.
