Summer is just around the corner, which means now is the time to get your home ready for sunny days and warm nights. Check out these four ways to get your home summer-ready!
1. Say Goodbye to Winter
Finally, the snow, ice and cold weather are gone. Kick winter out and brighten up your home with summer-related decorations and colorful accessories. Coastal Designer Outlet offers a ton of nautical and beach-themed pillows, lamps, artwork, table decorations and accessories. The store also has brand-name furniture pieces available if you’re feeling bold and want to replace more than just the decorations in the room.
The inside of your home isn’t the only place leaving winter behind – the outside deserves a transformation as well! Add life and color to the exterior of your home with flowers, shrubs and trees from Cape Shore Gardens. If you don’t have much of a green thumb, Cape Shore Gardens offers landscape design, construction and maintenance services.
2. Let Summer Inside
We can’t deny that summer weather is feel-good weather. When the sunshine and fresh air finally arrive, embrace them by letting them inside with a storm or screen door. Wildwood Glass specializes in creating customized storm door panels and screens so you can enjoy the beautiful outdoors from the comfort of your home. If you already have a storm door but the screen is broken or the glass is cracked, Wildwood Glass can fix it!

3. Make Outdoor Repairs
It’s finally time to live outdoors, which means it’s time to tackle those outdoor projects you’ve been putting off all winter. Although there are probably multiple “to dos” on your repair list, put your deck or patio at the top. Summer calls for backyard barbeques and bonfires, therefore it’s important to make sure your deck or patio is safe by making any necessary repairs. If your deck didn’t withstand the harsh winter conditions, Town Bank Builders can build you a high-quality, custom deck for entertaining your family and friends.
Next on the list should be your fence. It’s time to let the kids and pets loose in the yard, but first make sure there’s no way they can get out. Inspect your fence and fix any parts that Old Man Winter got to, and be sure to reinforce any loose posts. If your fence is in need of a replacement, Murphy Fence Company offers a variety of fence types and products to meet your fence needs.
4. Stay Cool
Hanging outside in the summertime is fun, but when the heat starts to get to you, it’s time to step into your cool home. Make sure your air conditioning system is ready for those hot summer days. Bowman’s Cooling and Heating can perform a spring check up and make sure your A/C runs at peak efficiency once summer rolls around. If you’re still experiencing problems after maintenance and repair, Bowman’s offers free estimates for replacement systems and new installations, and can help you design the perfect cooling solution to fit your home and budget.
Once your A/C is ready to go, you want to make sure the cool air stays inside your home. Atlantic Insulation & Construction Services (A.I.C.S.) uses spray foam insulation to keep that air inside by covering the holes, cracks and crevices that often allow the air to escape. Plus, less cool air escaping means lower energy bills!
