Projects to Do for National Home Improvement Month

National Home Improvement MonthDid you know that May is National Home Improvement Month? Whether you’re putting your home on the market or just taking care of some routine maintenance, it’s a good idea to add a few projects to your to-do list, and to find a great contractor who can help you accomplish your goals.

Here are a few home improvement ideas for the month of May:

Install a low-maintenance deck

Deck materials have improved in recent years, so why not install something that lets you forget about annual maintenance like staining and sealing, along with damage from sun, insects and moisture? Call a contractor to put in a deck made with engineered and composite materials, like TREX decking and AZEK deck boards.

Replace your windows

Are your windows hard to open and shut? Is there condensation between the glass panes? It might be time for new windows. Consider energy-efficient, durable vinyl-framed windows.

Maintain your roof and gutters

Winter can do a number on your roof, tearing off shingles and clogging gutters. This is one that you don’t want to handle on your own. Avoid endangering your safety by climbing a ladder—call a pro.

Renovate the kitchen

Summer is time for entertaining, and you’ll want your kitchen to be in good shape. Check out the latest trends, like black hardware or quartz countertops.
