Summer is a time for vacations, backyard barbecues and relaxing in the sun. It’s also a time when you can accomplish a few projects around the house. We are not just talking about simple maintenance repairs but instead those big DIY projects you’ve been putting off all winter long. Here are some potential summer DIY projects you might want to tackle:

Reseal the Wood Deck

What kind of shape is your wood deck in? Hopefully, when it was first installed it was coated with a water sealer. But even the best sealers don’t last a lifetime. You may want to reseal your deck this summer. While you’re at it, you can also make any minor repairs to the deck and inspected for water damage. Perhaps you want to expand your deck. That is certainly something to think about before you make any repairs. Tearing down the deck and building a new one is a great project to start the summer off with.

Refinished Patio Furniture

Your patio furniture might have taken a beaten this past winter. If your metal chairs and tables are starting to show signs of distress, then you might want to strip them down and repaint them. There are many powerful strippers you can buy that aren’t difficult to work with. As for the repainting, renting a power sprayer is the way to go.
