Home Improvement Projects Perfect for Summer

Summer’s down to its last few weeks, so many homes around America continue to turn up their air conditioning. While this does consume a significant amount of energy, you may end up paying more than you should because of energy inefficiency. That’s why it’s a good idea to consider home improvement projects that will make your home more energy-efficient.

This is also the perfect time to safeguard your gutters for the coming fall. You wouldn’t want your gutters to get clogged up by debris. Homecraft® Inc. recommends these home improvement projects for the season.

Cool Roof

We have been helping homeowners with their roofing, siding, and gutters in Wilmington, DE, and the surrounding areas for over 30 years. This experience and our commitment to excellence have earned us the GAF Master Elite® contractor status, making us part of the top 3% of all roofers in the country. Not only can we provide you with best warranties the company has to offer, but we can also install their full range of products, including the cool roofing option Timberline® Cool Series Shingles.

These shingles have special granules that reflect the sun’s heat away from your home. This decreases the heat build-up in your attic, making your home more cool and comfortable while reducing your reliance air conditioning. Less work means less energy consumed and lower utility bills. According to the Cool Roof Rating Council, cool roofs can save you up to 15% in total cooling costs depending on location and climate.

Insulated Siding

For maximum savings and energy efficiency, you should also upgrade your siding, as well. We can install premium vinyl siding from Mastic Home Exteriors. Their Structure® Home Installation System™ is an insulated vinyl siding solution that will wrap your home in continuous blanket of insulation. This will help keep your home’s energy locked in and your cooling costs low. This will also improve your home’s noise reduction.

Gutter Protection

Before fall arrives, make sure that your gutters are well taken care of by investing in gutter protection in Hockessin, DE. Your gutters have an essential job of directing water away from your home. If these become clogged, it can lead to leaks, cracks in the foundation, and damage to your exterior.

You can prevent this from happening by installing Mastic Leaf Relief. This will keep your gutters clear and clean, preventing leaves and debris from entering. This reduces your maintenance requirements, freeing up the time, energy, and resources you use for cleaning your gutter.
