The Best Summer Remodeling Projects to Start Now

Are you hoping to get some home remodeling done this summer? You’re in luck-- summer is a great time to tackle some home improvement projects. With longer daylight hours and more scheduling flexibility, this time of year offers the ideal conditions to upgrade your space. 

Whether you're dreaming of a sunny patio for entertaining or a bright and spacious kitchen to share a meal with your family, summer makes renovation more accessible and enjoyable. 

Soak Up the Sun With an Outdoor Living Upgrade

With the sun shining, birds chirping, and flowers blooming, many homeowners turn to their yards for home enhancements. This season is one of the best times to upgrade your outdoor hosting and recreation spaces.

5. Outdoor Living

Why Summer is Perfect for Outdoor Remodeling

While we typically recommend planning outdoor improvements in the spring, longer hours and clear weather can create opportunities for hardscaping and other exterior improvements.

  • Longer Daylight Hours - More sunshine means more time to build. Enjoy quicker project turnaround times during the summer months.
  • Warmer, Drier Conditions - With fewer weather delays, your project can move more smoothly. 
  • Easier Planning with School Paused - Summer break means schedules are typically more flexible, making it simpler to accommodate consultations, delivery, and any other communications.

Our Favorite Outdoor Renovations

Outdoor kitchen 1-1

  • Outdoor Kitchens and Bars - Add a fire pit or outdoor kitchen for a space you’ll never want to leave!
  • Spacious Decks - Get the most out of summer with a new deck! Decks are a relatively quick project, so you can enjoy your space before summer ends. Decks are also known to enhance property value, so they’ll be worth it for years to come. 
  • Screened Porches and Sunrooms - Love the idea of being outdoors without dealing with bugs or bad weather? A screened porch or sunroom blends the best of indoor and outdoor living, offering a wonderful space to read, dine, and unwind. 
  • Elegant Patios - Stone or paver patios are a beautiful element that complements your landscaping and other outdoor spaces. Whether you’re going for a laid-back lounge or cozy dining nook, patios provide a sturdy foundation.

Turn Kitchen Inspiration Into Remodeled Reality

Inspired by a new vacation spot or a family member's recent kitchen remodel? Late summer to early fall is a great time to put your own kitchen renovation into motion. Whether you're rethinking the kitchen layout, considering new countertops, or upgrading to custom cabinetry and hardware, starting now ensures you have a beautifully refreshed space ready well before hectic schedules and busy social calendars start back up in the fall.

More Reasons to Remodel Kitchens During the Summer

  • Outdoor Cooking Backup - Summer weather makes it easier to switch to light, no-cook options or dine al fresco while your kitchen is under construction.
  • More Daylight, More Progress - Longer days mean more hours to quickly make progress on projects. Paired with the right remodeler, a well-timed summer kitchen remodel can breeze by.
  • Additional Flexibility for Families - With school out, families often find they have more time to handle summer projects.

Timeless Kitchen Designs and Layouts

Not sure where to begin? Draw inspiration from the summer season for classical improvements that feel modern and withstand changing trends.

  • Open-Concept Layouts - Create a lighter, more airy feel with an open concept floor plan that allows for easy movement through living and gathering spaces.
  • Light and Bright Finishes - Lean on soft neutrals, pale earthy tones, and glimmering glazed tiles to maximize natural light.
  • Natural Materials - Stone, weathered wood, and copper finishes can evoke the natural warmth of the season and add depth to your space year round.
  • Smart Appliances - Replace outdated equipment with energy-efficient options to keep your kitchen efficient and cool. 

Wherever you are in the kitchen remodel planning process, expert design-build remodelers can help bring your dreams to life.

Why Summer is a Smart Time to Start a Whole-Home Remodel

  • More Natural Light - Longer days mean plentiful sunlight, making it easier to evaluate and make decisions around color, layout, and lighting. 
  • Schedule Flexibility - With schools on break, it’s often easier to plan around disruptions caused by remodels. 
  • Better Ventilation and Drying - Warm, dry weather in the middle of summer can speed up the setting of materials like paint, drywall, and adhesives, helping projects move forward more efficiently.
  • Prep for Holiday Hosting - Starting your major remodels in the summer means your home will be in perfect shape for fall hosting, holiday gatherings, and relaxing through the cold months.

Our Favorite Whole-Home Upgrades for Summertime Remodeling

Starting a whole home remodel opens a treasure trove of possibilities, from updated layouts to new features. Here are a few upgrades we recommend homeowners prioritize in the summer months:

  • Emphasis on Open-Concept - Bright and breezy layouts help your living and dining spaces feel bigger, more connected, and ready for entertaining.
  • Invest in Entertainment Spaces - A whole home remodel is the perfect opportunity to revamp your kitchen and dining areas. Play with new countertops and flooring, upgraded appliances, and fashionable color palettes to reinvigorate your space. 
  • Primary Suite Upgrades - Build the calming retreat of your dreams by enhancing your bedroom, closet, and bathroom.
  • Smarter Storage Solutions - Feel like you’re running out of space? A whole home remodel is the perfect chance to add custom-built-ins, add a mudroom or closet, and make the most of your space.
  • Energy Efficiency All Over - Summer is the perfect time to get on top of utility bills! Invest in new windows and doors, upgrade your HVAC unit, improve insulation, and install energy-efficient systems to keep your home comfortable and sustainable.

Kitchen Remodeling Rockville Review. House To Home Solutions was recommended to us by a colleague when we were looking for a kitchen remodeling contractor, and we now understand why. Daniel Carrero, the President and owner, is a meticulous planner and craftsman. He and his team expect nothing less than their best at all times. They were fast (the entire job was completed in less than…

Kitchen Remodeling Potomac Review. We began our kitchen renovation the day after Thanksgiving – and by the new year it was clear that our contractor was a) not doing a good job and b) likely never going to finish – so we had the House to Home team step in. WOW – what a difference from Day 1! A real “sense of urgency” came over…

Home Theater Potomac Review. We hired Daniel Carrero to redo our family room that involved a new fireplace and the installation of home theatre set up. The job was finished with highest quality. Daniel also provided additional help when the need arose. He is a perfectionist and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him.

Condo Remodeling | Arlington, VA. I hired House to Home Solutions under conditions that were far from ideal. The condo I was buying had a closing date that kept changing, all the walls needed to be repainted and all the carpet needed to be ripped up and replaced with wood flooring. Not only did the company deliver on time but the result was stunning. The…

I had used House to Home Solutions when a neighbors 100ft Oak tree well onto my house, smashing my addition. So as you can imagine working with insurance companies is the worst, despite all that Daniel was very professional and supportive in helping me work through it with them. Once we got the green light to start Daniel and his team worked efficiently in building…
