Is Your Home Summer-Ready? 5 Exterior Projects to Tackle Before the Heat Hits
Summer in Central Maryland means more time outdoors, unpredictable storms, and higher energy use. Prepping your home’s exterior now can save you money, boost curb appeal, and prevent costly damage later.
1. Refresh or Build a Backyard Deck
Summer is deck season. Whether you’re hosting barbecues or relaxing in the shade, a safe, stylish deck is a must.

Check for loose boards or splinters

Upgrade to low-maintenance composite decking (TimberTech, Trex, Azek)

Consider expanding your space for more functionality
