Get Your Home Ready for Summer
Summer in California isn't just about beach days and barbecues—it's also the season when your home is at risk from heat, sun, and increased energy use. Skipping these steps now can lead to costly problems such as high energy bills, damaged exteriors, and compromised home security. A little prep goes a long way in keeping your home safe and stress-free all summer. At Imagineer Remodeling, we simplify home upgrades so you can focus on enjoying the season. Here are seven easy ways to get your home summer-ready, with expert help whenever you need it.
Keep Your Home Cool Without Sending Your Energy Bill Through the Roof
When it's blazing outside, your cooling system works overtime. Minor tweaks can help it run more efficiently and keep your home comfortable.
What You Can Do: Swap out your air filters (seriously, it makes a difference), check for leaky ducts, and set your ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise to push cool air down.
We Can Help: We'll check your HVAC system, install energy-saving upgrades, and set up a smart thermostat so you stay cool without high bills. Our team can ensure everything runs smoothly, so you won't have to worry.
Protect Your Home's Exterior from Sun and Heat Damage
California sunshine is excellent until it starts fading paint, cracking siding, and weakening your roof. Catching minor issues early can save you big on repairs.
What You Can Do: Look for peeling paint, check your roof for loose shingles, and clear out gutters before summer storms surprise you.
How We Can Help: We offer professional inspections, roof repairs, and weather-resistant paint jobs to keep your home looking sharp and protected.
Get Wildfire-Ready (Because It's California)
If you live in a wildfire-prone area, summer is the time to prevent fires. A few innovative steps can make a huge difference in protecting your home.
What You Can Do: Clear dry brush, replace vents with ember-resistant ones, and create a defensible space around your property.
How We Can Help: Our team can assess your fire risk, install fire-resistant materials, and help you create a safer perimeter around your home.
Keep Your Home Cool—Without Overworking Your AC
If your place feels more like a sauna than a sanctuary, your windows and insulation might be to blame. Picture stepping into a fabulous, refreshing home—even when it's blazing outside—without your AC running nonstop. We can upgrade your insulation and install energy-efficient windows to keep the heat out and your energy bills low. If your home heats up like an oven, your insulation and windows might not work.
What You Can Do: Check for drafts, add weather stripping, and invest in blackout curtains (your AC will thank you).
How We Can Help: We install energy-efficient windows and modern insulation to keep your home cool and your energy bills under control.
Make Your Outdoor Space Summer-Ready
Your backyard should be a place to relax, not a project waiting to happen. Imagine the convenience of having a summer-ready outdoor space without a last-minute rush to prepare it for a barbecue, allowing you to fully enjoy your outdoor space without added stress.

Check Your Plumbing Before the Water Bill Surprises You
