It won’t be long before summer is gone, so take advantage of the time you have left to get your outdoor home repair projects completed. Many undertakings, like doors, decks, and windows, are best tackled in good weather. Also, by getting the job done early, you’ll be prepared for when the cold kicks in, and you’ll get to enjoy your new or revamped additions longer.

3 Summer Home Repair Projects 

Doors

If your door is old and worn, it may be time to invest in a new one. With Alaska’s brutally cold winters and high heating costs, you’ll need a good quality door that will keep the drafts down and provide you with a good seal. Depending on the type of door you choose – in stock or special order - it could take up to 6 weeks to arrive. Order it now to ensure it arrives and allow time for installation before the season changes.

Windows

home-repairThis is one project you don’t want to ignore!  Over time, old leaky windows can really increase your heating costs. The windows in your home serve as a barrier from the outside elements; if they don’t have a solid seal, you could end up with cold drafts. That means higher heating costs and drafty rooms. A replacement can take anywhere from four to six weeks to arrive, so plan ahead to give yourself time to schedule installation too. 

Decks

Your deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. If the boards are beginning to rot, warp or crack, enlist the help of a professional to replace them. Applying a stain or weather sealant is another good way to protect your deck from the elements and keep it functional for next year.
