FIVE SUMMER HOME PROJECTS
Summer is the perfect time to tackle home improvement projects that not only boost your home’s value—but also make it more enjoyable for everyday living. Whether you’re thinking of selling or simply want to enhance your space, these five projects offer big returns without requiring a full renovation.
REFRESH YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
Warm weather means more time outside. Create an inviting outdoor area by adding a pergola, updating patio furniture, or installing string lights. Even small updates like an outdoor rug or planter boxes can turn a basic backyard into an open-air retreat that impresses buyers and guests alike.
GIVE YOUR HOME A PAINT MAKEOVER
A fresh coat of paint—inside or out—can make a home feel brand new. Light neutrals like soft white or warm beige are perfect for brightening interiors, while classic exterior tones like navy blue or charcoal gray boost curb appeal. Don’t forget to refresh your front door for an easy pop of personality!
INSTALL ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES
Summer heat can drive up utility bills, so why not add some cost-saving features? Swap out old thermostats for smart ones, seal windows and doors, and consider installing ceiling fans or updated insulation. Buyers love homes with energy-saving touches, and you’ll enjoy lower bills all season long.
REVAMP LANDSCAPING
Lush, tidy landscaping gives buyers the impression of a wellmaintained home. Trim hedges, reseed patchy grass, and add vibrant flowers or low-maintenance native plants. If you want an easy win, install fresh mulch—it instantly makes garden beds look polished.
UPGRADE KITCHEN OR BATH FIXTURES
You don’t have to remodel the whole room to make an impact. Swapping outdated faucets, cabinet hardware, and light fixtures in your kitchen or bathrooms is an affordable way to modernize your space. Brushed gold, matte black, or polished nickel are trending finishes for summer 2025. 1 2 3 4 5

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CHOOSING AND WORKING WITH MOVERS
Summer is right around the corner, which means many people will be moving. Some people choose to move themselves, but that can be physically and mentally exhausting and not always worth the savings. Using professional movers often makes a lot of sense. But how do you make sure you’re using a good one? Here are some tips to get started.
Look at publicly available information. All interstate movers are required to be both licensed and registered with the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. That site will also have complaint reports for registered movers. Your local Better Business Bureau also tracks complaints.
Get an Estimate. You need an estimate based on a walk-through. If the mover refuses to do so or insists that you sign a contract (or make a deposit) before doing so, find someone else.
Make sure they’re insured. If they’re not, don’t work with them. Federal law requires interstate movers to offer liability coverage for any damage to your property at no cost. However, the baseline coverage is 60 cents per pound per item, regardless of the item’s value. Most movers also offer additional coverage for a fee, which you should consider after reviewing the terms. Before declining such additional coverage, think of how much your items are worth, and if 60 cents per pound is enough to make it right if something happens.
efficiently. Regardless, make sure to get quotes from multiple companies.
Look at the Paperwork. Look at the bill of lading, which outlines everything being moved, the origin and destination, and costs. It’s your receipt, so review it closely, make sure it’s correct and keep a copy!
Movers are also required to provide you with a copy of a pamphlet titled “Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move”. Make sure you get and read it.
Supervise. Make sure you or someone you trust is there to oversee the whole process. You can help direct the movers and point to which room boxes and big items belong. Also, if a problem arises, you’re there to bear witness and assist.
Storage. If you can’t move directly from one place to another, many movers will offer to store your stuff. See how much it will cost for the space as well as moving into and out of that space.
Ask Questions Up Front. What is the hourly rate? Is that per-person or for a whole team? If it’s perperson, see how many movers will be present. What other costs (fuel, packing materials, etc.) will you be charged, and at what rates. You can save some money by packing yourself, but the pros can do it faster and more
Gratuity. While not required, it’s nice to tip your movers for good service. While supervising the move, bring some cold waters or sports drinks to offer the movers. Kindness goes a long way!
By following these tips and doing your due diligence on your local moving companies, you’ll find the perfect mover for you.
