August is the ideal month to tackle some of those outdoor home improvement projects you’ve been putting off. And with summer quickly coming to an end, the time to start is now.

Here are a few projects you can complete before the end of August:

Paint Your House

Take advantage of the warm, dry weather and paint your house. When painting your house don’t skimp on the prep work. Prepping your house may take some time, but it’s just as important as painting and will help your paint last longer.
