Summer Project Ideas by A General Contractor in Andover, MA

General Contractor in Andover, MA


Summer is upon us and things are just heating up.  Now is the time to call your general contractor to serve your home in Andover, MA.  At Skillville Corp., we do general contracting right.  Here are some summer home projects to get done now before Fall is upon us.

Exterior Paint or Interior Paint?

It's a common question to receive: do we have the exterior of the house painted now or the interior?  That's a great question!  The real answer is, "It depends."  It really does.  Obviously, exterior painting usually doesn't work out in the dead of Winter.  Summer can be the last big opportunity to get both your exterior and interior paint projects done.  Being that we've been a general contractor serving Andover, MA for nearly a dozen years, we can say that you definitely don't want to take on that Summer exterior paint project with the intense heat and New England humidity.  Not only does it create potential challenges with the application, but do you really want to sweat and pass out there? Nah!  Leave that to us!

Decks, Porches, Fences?


Just like with painting, fixing and maintaining your decks, porches, and fences is really best during the summer months.  Depending on whether you need a complete repair, a resurfacing, or a completely new deck, porch, and / or fence, Summer is really the best season to do this.  Why?  Well think about it: if resurfacing is the best thing to do, you typically have to do a high-pressure wash and / or sanding, again, depending on your situation.  The hot weather and beating sun end up expediting this process.  The same goes for staining and / or painting!  Staining is very different from painting, as far as application goes.  With the hot Summer sun, it would be best to leave it up to a general contractor that knows what they're doing.

Gutter Repairs or Gutter Cleaning?



Absolutely!  Even if we get a surprise thunderstorm that makes it rain buckets of cats and dogs, Summer is a great time of year to get your gutters repaired and cleaned.  Even a strong storm will not push all the muck accumulating in your gutters.  Sometimes a clogged gutter creates many drainage problems, or even worse, ice damage during Winter.  Don't put off gutter repairs or cleaning til the last minute and don't put it off altogether.  Let's tackle this for you before it becomes a bigger problem.

Andover always looks so beautiful in the "Summa," especially when we get gorgeous sunny days with a slight breeze.  Just the sound of that makes us want to hang on our hammock while sippin' an Ahnold Palmah!

But then again, we're always happy to do these summer jobs for you so that you can kick your feet up and relax.  You deserve it!  Thankfully, we have all the skills at Skillville, whether it's part of the planning or designing phase to full construction, we have you covered.
