Spruce up your lanai, and enhance your outdoor lifestyle
Your lanai or deck is arguably the epicenter for outdoor entertaining in the summer – really, most months in Florida. Those wooden planks and screened enclosures build up grime, mold and more from frequent use and the elements.
It’s an ideal time to pressure wash your deck and screens, hammer down any loose nails or apply additional stain. And, if you’re looking to build with Lee Wetherington Homes, consider enhancing the outdoor fun your new, beautiful home can offer!

Luckily for you, it’s the perfect time to landscape
Ready for a weekend project? Increase the curb appeal of your property by landscaping the front yard. It’s a simple option for giving your property a quick, fresh look without painting, renovations or heavy-duty home improvement.
Dig in and add a few hedges, carve a path of vibrant flowers along your walkway and find a weather-resistant planter to best fit your porch.
Pressure wash your home’s exterior
Pressure washing a home can be a do-it-yourself job or left up to the professionals. Regardless, it’s a necessary step to keep your home’s outside appearance fresh and free from mud, mildew and more accumulating on areas like eaves and exterior walls.
Like landscaping, this improvement project increases curb appeal. However, pressure washing your home can cause damage if done incorrectly. Experience certainly alleviates that risk.
Keep your home consistently cool
A well-functioning air conditioning unit is crucial for your home amid the summer heat in Florida. Foliage – everything from moss to leaves and branches – obstructing the condenser causes your electric bill to rise like the temperature.
Trim back hedges and additional plants within the immediate area. and sweep out the foliage inside the unit to keep your home consistently cool.
Uncover your garage’s hidden spaces
Tap into the potential storage space in your garage by ridding yourself of the extra and unused belongings that you forgot existed. Devise a plan for the potential look and layout of the area, whether you’d like a workspace for tools or simply need to clean and free up more space for your vehicles.
Vertical space is the perfect place for lawncare and recreational equipment, ladders, bicycle racks and extra shelving. Free-standing cabinets are a popular choice among homeowners looking to utilize more area within the garage.
