Welcome to June, everybody!

Summer is a season full of hosting cookouts, pool parties, and game nights. All of those activities are a great way to take an inventory of what improvements you would like to make to your home.

We found a recent article by Realty Biz News titled “5 Remodeling Projects to Consider this Summer” that might help you decide what renovations you’d like to purse.

Whether you are thinking short-term or long-term, larger or smaller, there’s a summer remodeling project for you. Here are our favorites:

First, consider putting in granite counters. They pack the double-whammy of having classic appeal and being functional, as the article notes, making them a can’t-miss upgrade.

Next, brush up that curb appeal and tidy up the landscaping. You can err on the simple side and just trim your hedges and lawn, or take it to the next level by adding a rock garden or a fountain, like the article says. It’s a choose your own adventure type of project, so run with it.

Lastly, consider hardwood flooring. Much like the granite counters, hardwood floors have widespread appeal and function. They are easy to maintain, last practically forever, and upgrade any space, as the article notes. If hardwood is out of your budget, consider laminate flooring, like the article says, which comes in a variety of styles at a lower price point.

So remember to take time to survey your hosting capabilities this summer and let us know what you decide.

Have a great week!
