Summer is finally here in — and with the warmer weather and longer days, there’s no better time to tackle those home renovation projects you’ve been dreaming about all winter. At RBD Contracting, we believe your home should be a place you love year-round, and summer is the perfect season to refresh, upgrade, and improve your living space.

Whether you’re looking to boost your home’s curb appeal, expand your outdoor living space, or finally finish those indoor updates, here are a few renovation ideas to consider this summer:


Decks & Patios: Create Your Outdoor Oasis

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a summer evening outdoors with family and friends. A new deck or patio can completely transform your backyard, making it the go-to spot for BBQs, lounging, and outdoor entertaining.

Popular features:

• Built-in seating

• Pergolas or shade structures

• Outdoor kitchens

• Low-maintenance composite decking

At RBD Contracting, we specialize in custom outdoor spaces designed to fit your lifestyle and budget.

Landscaping & Curb Appeal Upgrades

First impressions matter, and your home’s exterior is the first thing people see. Summer is the ideal time to enhance your property’s curb appeal.

Ideas to consider:

• New siding or exterior paint

• Interlocking stone walkways

• Garden beds and fresh greenery

• Modernized front porches or entryways

These projects not only improve the look of your home but can also increase its value.

Basement Finishing & Renovations

While summer might be all about the outdoors, it’s also a great time to take on indoor projects — especially basements, since you don’t have to worry about cold weather and frozen ground affecting construction.

Common basement projects:

• Home offices or gyms

• Guest suites

• Recreation rooms for the kids

• Rental or in-law suites for added income

A finished basement adds valuable square footage and enhances your home’s functionality.

Window & Door Replacements

Upgrading your windows and doors isn’t just about aesthetics — it improves energy efficiency, security, and comfort. Summer is the perfect time for this type of work, with minimal disruption and no chilly drafts during installation.

Look for energy-efficient models to help reduce your utility bills year-round.

Bathroom & Kitchen Refreshes

If your bathroom or kitchen is feeling dated, a summer renovation can breathe new life into these essential spaces. Even small changes like new countertops, cabinetry, or fixtures can make a big impact.

Trending ideas:

• Walk-in showers with custom tilework

• Open shelving in kitchens

• Energy-efficient appliances

• Modern lighting upgrades
