Beautify Your Home for the Summer

(ARA) – Summer is here and with the warm weather comes endless hours spent outdoors enjoying the sun. Whether you’re spending time in the pool, grilling on the barbeque, or just lounging on your deck, you want your house looking its best. That’s why now’s the perfect time to spruce up your home’s exterior and impress your neighbors. There are many do-it-yourself projects that can have a dramatic effect on the beauty of your home. A little gardening close to the house can provide color and life to your outdoor space. Planting some flowers, shrubs or trees in the right areas can make a world of difference.

Other ways to beautify your home include cleaning your windows and screens, which will improve exterior appearance and allow more light into the home. Refinishing your deck can bring back a warm, natural wood look, while also protecting it from the sun’s UV rays and heavy summer foot traffic. You can even restore your home’s vinyl siding and shutters to their original color and shine!

In the past, the only vinyl care options available were both costly and time consuming, but now there’s an easy-to-use, inexpensive solution that can be done in half the time of painting.

Restora, from The Flood Company, is a unique two-step process that thoroughly cleans exterior vinyl, and then restores the original, rich color and vibrant sheen for a “like new” appearance.

"Vinyl siding and shutters are considered low-maintenance materials for your home. However, vinyl still needs to be cleaned, especially after a few years in the elements when it begins to look weathered," says Danny Lipford, host of the national television show, Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford. "Restora offers a quick, effective and long-lasting solution homeowners can do themselves."

The easy, two-step vinyl care system first removes surface dirt, chalk, stains, etc. and cleans deep to eliminate oxidation and built-in contaminants, then restores the original color of dull, faded exterior vinyl. Guaranteed not to crack, peel or blister, Restora gives homeowners a solution that provides long-lasting color, strong surface adhesion, and superior penetration, while saving time and money.

So before you answer the call of the great outdoors, take the time to get your home ready for summer. Clean and revitalize your weathered vinyl and be proud of having the best-looking house on the block.
