Most Popular Summer Renovations in North Port, FL

Some of the most common outdoor home improvement projects aside from landscaping include:

  1. Patios or Decking

Having an outdoor living space is ideal, and a brand new patio or deck is high on the list for many homeowners. Now is the time to get started. Depending on your budget and design, you may have to get a permit before you begin construction. But statistics show that an outdoor living space represents a great value for the price. And many people find that a renovated patio or deck boosts the value of their home.

  1. Repaint/Reside

The exterior of your home takes a beating, especially in North Port, FL. It might be time to give your home a facelift with a new coat of paint or brand new siding. There are several material options to choose from if you decide to re-side, including brick, stucco, stone, aluminum, wood, and vinyl. The price will vary, depending on the material and size of your home. And if you don’t need a complete makeover, you might need to at least patch areas that are worn or chipped.

  1. Driveway and Walkways

If you are looking to put in a new cement driveway you want to jump on the project before temperatures get to high. Hotter weather means the cement will cure too quickly. This can lead to shrinkage, cracks, and physical defects. Instead it is better to lay concrete in cooler temperatures so it cures slowly.

  1. Roofing

The roof is another project many homeowners choose to tackle in the spring and early summer while the weather is milder. And because your roof is such an important structural element, you do not want to let damage or worn out roofing sit for too long. There is the threat of tropical storms and hurricanes always on the horizon and you need to protect your home.

  1. Windows and Doors

Another way to protect the exterior envelope of your home is by installing new hurricane impact-resistant windows and doors. There are so many style and material options, you are sure to find the upgrade you are looking for. But this is one home improvement project you shouldn’t tackle on your own. You want the help of professionals to get the job done quickly and professionally.
