Summer in Texas means more sunshine, more backyard gatherings, and—unfortunately—more strain on your home’s systems. Preparing now can help you avoid costly repairs, stay comfortable, and fully enjoy your space all season long.

At Vorsaw Remodeling & Construction, we’ve rounded up smart, practical ways to get your home summer-ready—whether it’s maintenance, remodeling, or outdoor upgrades.

1. Check and Upgrade Your Insulation & Windows

Before the heat hits hard, make sure your home is sealed tight:

  • Inspect and replace worn weatherstripping
  • Upgrade to energy-efficient windows
  • Improve attic and wall insulation for better indoor cooling

You’ll reduce energy bills and keep your home consistently comfortable.

2. Tune Up Your Outdoor Living Space

Summer = more time outside. Now’s the time to invest in:

  • Custom patios and shade structures for entertaining
  • Outdoor kitchens or grilling zones
  • Landscape lighting for long summer nights
  • Pergolas or covered seating to block harsh sun

We design and build beautiful outdoor spaces made for relaxation and hosting.

3. Freshen Up Paint and Exterior Surfaces

Warm weather is perfect for touch-ups. Consider:

  • Exterior painting to protect against sun and rain
  • Pressure washing walkways, siding, and decks
  • Staining or sealing wood structures to extend their life

A clean, polished exterior adds curb appeal and prevents long-term damage.

4. Service Key Home Systems

Don’t get caught mid-heatwave with a broken A/C or plumbing issue. We recommend:

  • HVAC system checkups and filter replacements
  • Water heater flushing
  • Testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
  • Inspecting roof, gutters, and downspouts after spring storms

Vorsaw offers property maintenance plans so you can get ahead of the issues—not behind them.

5. Add Smart Upgrades for Convenience

Smart tech can simplify summer. We can install:

  • Smart thermostats to manage cooling costs
  • Outdoor lighting with timers and remote access
  • Home automation systems for fans, irrigation, and more

Enjoy control and comfort at your fingertips—even when you're away.
