Summertime is an excellent opportunity to get a head start on a few home improvement projects, but not every job benefits from the heat and humidity of the season. Bubbling paint, unsafe temperatures in the attic, and waiting for more comfortable working conditions are all reasons you should consider putting off certain jobs this summer. And before you think you’re off the hook from any DIY renovations this season, we rounded up a few that are worth focusing on now, while the weather is warm and favorable for outdoor work.

5 Projects to Skip This Summer and Save for Winter

1. Fixture and Hardware Upgrades

While you’re spending time indoors during the winter, you might notice more things about your house that you want to change or upgrade, or you might be looking for quick and easy ways to add more interest, personality, and style to your home. Swapping out your fixtures and hardware can give your home a fresh look in a matter of minutes, and you can stay warm indoors while you work. “Upgrading light fixtures, cabinet pulls, door handles, or even installing smart home devices can significantly enhance your home’s aesthetic and functionality without being weather-dependent,” explains Shimek.

2. Insulation and Weather Stripping

Spending time in your attic messing with insulation in the summer is probably the last thing you want to do, but there are other reasons to put off this project until cooler weather arrives. In the winter, you’ll be better able to identify cold spots leaking in from damaged weather stripping and other flaws in your home’s insulation. Additionally, there will be no delay in feeling the effects of a job well done. “You’ll immediately feel the impact of improved insulation and sealed drafts as your home becomes warmer and your heating bills potentially decrease,” says Shimek.

3. Interior Painting

Painting the interior of your home during the summertime can come with a few obstacles, one of which is humidity. Moisture is a major culprit in sabotaging paint drying time. When paint doesn’t dry properly, it can lead to bubbles, cracking, and mildew issues if you’re not careful. Although Shimek says some ventilation is needed to help the paint dry during the winter, the lower humidity levels go a long way in getting walls and ceilings dry in a reasonable amount of time. Plus, the home project pro says it’s a great way to give your living spaces a fresh look during a season when you’ll be spending a lot of time inside.

4. Minor Remodels

The key here is minor, as you’ll likely spend a lot of time indoors during the winter, so whatever construction you do will likely happen while the whole family is underfoot. It is best to schedule these projects during the winter when the weather can be unstable. “These indoor projects don’t rely on good weather and can significantly improve the comfort and functionality of your home during the months you use them most,” says Shimek. Low-key bath and kitchen remodels are both projects you can move from your summertime to-do list to your wintertime schedule.

5. Dryer Vent and Chimney Cleaning

“These are crucial safety projects, especially as you begin to use your dryer more frequently and your fireplace for warmth,” says Shimek. Hiring professionals to clean your dryer vent can reduce your fire risk, while a professional chimney cleaning can prevent creosote buildup. Creosote is a tar-like byproduct of smoke from wood-burning fires that forms on the interior of the chimney. It can be a fire hazard and a health risk. Get these projects squared away early in the season to ensure your home is safe and prepared for the cold weather ahead.

5 Projects to Do Instead This Summer

When the weather is nice and you are eager for a home improvement project, get a jump on these projects that are ideal for summertime.

1. Exterior Painting

Hold off on exterior painting until days when the temperature is warm and the humidity is low. In some areas, particularly in the South, this might mean starting or completing the project early or late in the season, when the weather is moderate. These conditions are ideal for allowing paint to dry properly without cracking, bubbling, or mildew issues, says Shimek.

2. Deck and Patio Refinishing

One bonus of the summer heat is how quickly it dries surfaces, like when a sudden summer rainstorm hits and the puddles vanish before our eyes after the sun comes out. It turns out that this phenomenon is also beneficial when it comes to pressure washing, staining, sealing, and sanding patios and decks. Shimek says the warm, dry conditions help the materials dry properly, which means they should last longer.

3. Window and Door Work

Consider any window-related projects for another early- or late-season job. “Replacing windows and exterior doors is less disruptive when the weather is mild, as it exposes the interior of your home to the elements for a period,” says Shimek. He also advises replacing or repairing window screens during this time.

4. Gutter Repair and Installation

Summer is a great time to repair, install, and clean out your gutters. “With less rain and no risk of ice in summer, it’s easier and safer to work on gutters,” says Shimek. “You can clean out debris, check for leaks, and make sure there is adequate drainage before fall rains and winter snows.”

5. Landscaping Updates

If you’ve been wanting to add some new shrubs or maybe even a new paver path, summer is the ideal time to do so. “With ample daylight and favorable growing conditions, summer is prime time for enhancing your outdoor spaces,” says Shimek. Installing landscape lighting, building a garden bed, and adding a small shed are all on his list of top projects.

    Can You Paint the Side of a Neighbors Fence That Faces Your Yard?

    ByNafeesah Allen

    Credit: Getty Images / Vitalii Petrushenko Of all the costly outdoor groundskeeping on the to-do list, refreshing a fence might seem like light work. However, if it separates your property from the one next door, updating it with a fresh coat of paint or stain might not be so straightforward. Although changing the part that faces your house is tempting, you must determine who actually owns the fence and whether you have the legal or neighborly right to paint it. Altering a shared fence without permission can lead to legal disputes, homeowner association (HOA) penalties, and unpleasant interactions with neighbors. Luckily, fence ownership debates can be resolved amicably, but there’s an art to negotiating shared costs and exploring alternatives to maintain the peace. Determine Who Owns the Fence Determining who owns a fence that divides two properties isn’t always straightforward. Jeff Lichtenstein, CEO and broker at Echo Fine Properties, says it depends on each state and county’s rules as well as whether you belong to an HOA. A land surveyor or a legal agreement might resolve the issue. Not every fence is positioned exactly along property lines. If the fence is on just one owner’s land, then that owner owns it. What if you hate the way it looks facing your property? “Even if it’s facing your property, it’s no different than a neighbor’s blue house facing your property,” Lichtenstein says. “The side of the house is what you see, and the owner doesn’t usually see it. Still, you can’t paint it whatever color you wish.” Property surveys are often the most reliable way to determine where your land ends and your neighbor’s begins. In neighborhoods without HOA regulations or clear agreements, it’s best to obtain explicit permission before undertaking any action that might alter a structure your neighbor legally owns. If you can’t stand the condition or color of the fence facing your home, then you need to start a delicate negotiation. Related Negotiate with Your Neighbor Zach Peyton, brand president of Superior Fence & Rail, jokingly references the famous Robert Frost line, “Good fences make good neighbors, right?” Wrong. He says that a few considerations make all the difference. There may be cases when ownership can’t be easily established because neither neighbor has the original paperwork or the ability to schedule a property boundary survey. This may happen if neighbors had disputes in the past, if the land is rural or farmland, or if either property is part of an estate sale. In any case, if one neighbor paid for the original fence outright, that generally indicates ownership of the fence. However, if costs are shared or unclear, open and honest communication can help prevent future conflict. Peyton outlines a common scenario: “Mr. Smith wants to replace the fence during a larger backyard renovation, but Mrs. Jones, who technically owns it, doesn’t have the budget for it right now. If Mr. Smith is eager to proceed and has permission from the fence owner, he may opt to take on the full financial burden of replacing the fence. In that case, the new fence would belong to Mr. Smith.” In other words, if your half of the fence bothers, you might have to take on 100% of the responsibility for a fix that serves both you and the neighbor. Who Pays for the Paint Job? Cost-sharing can be a delicate issue. According to Lichtenstein, the simple rule of thumb is: “If you really want something, offer to pay for the entire job.” He explains that this approach usually removes friction, especially if the neighbor isn’t particularly concerned with aesthetics. “They get a benefit out of it, but it doesn’t require them to invest.” On the flip side, painting a fence without permission—even if you foot the bill—can backfire. Plain wooden fences may require a simple DIY coat of paint, but painting wrought iron, lattice, or brick fencing could damage the material irreversibly. Lichtenstein warns that homeowners who alter a fence without consent risk more than just neighborly tension. “You could be fined by the HOA, sued by your neighbor, and have legal penalties and judgments against you,” he says. What starts as a cosmetic improvement could become an expensive legal issue if the fence is ruined or the installation somehow affects your neighbor’s yard or lawn. Best Practices and Fence Alternatives “I tell every homeowner we know to buy their new neighbors a cookie cake and introduce yourself,” Lichtenstein says. While it may sound like a small gesture, taking the time to talk, explain your reasons, and ask questions can go a long way toward maintaining a collaborative approach. If you and your neighbor can’t agree, sometimes the best solution is to leave the fence as is. Create a new kind of boundary. Hedges, tall grasses, and trellises with climbing plants can provide privacy without encroaching on shared structures. “With hedges, it’s more common that you take care of your side and they, theirs,” Lichtenstein says, which can help avoid future fence disputes. If you have outdoor pets to protect, you may need to create other barriers on your side of the property line. Hardscaping or a secondary fence might be a suitable alternative. Remember, if the fence condition poses a hazard to your health—think broken slats, exposed sharp metal, or chipping toxic paint—take it up with your HOA or municipality to broker a long-term remedy.

    5 Mistakes Homeowners Make That Could Cost Thousands.

    ByElizabeth Fogarty

    Selling your home is one of the biggest financial moves you’ll ever make, and many homeowners are unknowingly leaving money on the table. A new survey from Zillow, conducted by The Harris Poll, revealed five major misconceptions that can cost sellers thousands of dollars. From over-investing in renovations to skipping key agent interviews, these are mistakes even experienced homeowners make. Here’s what to avoid and how to maximize your home’s value and get ahead in today’s competitive market. 1. Spending Too Much on the Wrong Renovations While it’s tempting to think a pricey kitchen remodel or a full addition will boost your home’s value, that’s not always the case. According to the survey, nearly one-quarter of homeowners (23%) believe building an addition offers the best return on investment. In reality, lower-cost upgrades, like a fresh coat of paint or improved landscaping, have a bigger impact on your bottom line. Focus on strategic updates that improve first impressions, both online and in person. Think fresh paint, staging, and curb appeal. 2. Underestimating the Power of “Screen Appeal” It’s not just about curb appeal anymore. Buyers often make their decision based on online photos and virtual tours before they ever step inside. Still, 40% of sellers think curb appeal matters most. But Zillow found that listings with features like 3D Home tours and high-resolution images sell for 2% more than similar listings without them. 3. Skipping Key Steps When Hiring an Agent Many homeowners believe they can skip the legwork when choosing a real estate agent, but Zillow experts warn against it. One in four homeowners don’t read online reviews, research sales history, or interview more than one agent. Treat hiring a real estate agent like a job interview. Ask about their local experience, listing strategy, and marketing tools, and check their track record. Related 4. Highlighting Wrong Features in Listings 45% of sellers think open floor plans boost value, but according to Zillow data, open layouts sell for 0.2% less than expected. On the flip side, listings that mention natural materials, like soapstone countertops or white oak flooring, can sell for up to 3.5% more. Work with your agent to highlight what today’s buyers are looking for. 5. Misunderstanding Seller Disclosure Rules Here’s a costly one: More than half of sellers think it’s okay to hide serious issues like water damage, pests, or asbestos to get a quicker sale. But failing to disclose known problems can lead to legal trouble and lost trust. Always disclose issues honestly and lean on your agent to help navigate what’s required in your state. What Sellers Get Right While some misconceptions remain, homeowners are making smart moves in key areas. 70% understand the value of listing across all major real estate platforms, including Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com. Only 8% believe in private, limited listings, correctly recognizing that casting a wider net brings better offers. Sellers who don’t list on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) make thousands less on average.

    4 Updates to Invest in (Plus 4 to Skip) When Moving to a Home Short-Term

    ByKristine Gill

    Short-term moves can be stressful, and making a temporary space feel like home is important. But before you start knocking out walls and upgrading bathrooms, it’s wise to consider your return on investment—especially if you’re going to be reselling. “The decision to make improvements to a home intended for short-term use should be based on time, money, and immediate gratification,” says Dot Frank, a realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Alliance Group. “Since your stay is limited, limit improvements to those you can tackle in short order. Personally, if more than 10% of my stay is spent renovating, it would be a no-go.” Read on for expert tips on the kinds of investments and upgrades to a temporary space that make sense in the long term.  Credit: Jay Wilde Smart Investments for Short-Term Upgrades If you’re having trouble deciding what to invest in for your temporary home, consider your budget and timeline first. “Some upgrades can be very cost effective and can be done quickly, while others can leave you gasping for air and asking yourself ‘are we there yet?” says Devin Juarez, a real estate agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Elite. “Analyzing your budget and how long the project will take will help you prioritize your projects.” Next, decide whether the project you’re considering is a want or a need. “A beautiful bathroom might be a great improvement and make your day great when unwinding at the end of a long day, but if your house needs a new roof due to leaks or a new front porch because you’re afraid you might fall through the floor with every step you take, then it might make more sense to put off the new bathroom,” Juarez says.  Finally, consider the return on investment. If you’re only living in a home for a short time, it doesn’t make sense to sink tons of cash into an upgrade unless you can make the money back when you go to sell.  “Some upgrades such as new windows, new front door, new heater, or even an upgraded water heater to provide more hot water might be aesthetically pleasing, provide more efficiency with utilities, or an added comfort, but their cost does not provide a large return when selling the property,” Juarez says. “There are other investments in your home that could provide a better return with the same investment.” Frank says the ideal investment is a cost-effective improvement you’ll be able to appreciate while you reside in the residence, that also boosts your resale value. “Remember the end game is to resell, so make sure to keep it neutral and appealing to prospective buyers,” she says. “Remember the end game is to resell, so make sure to keep it neutral and appealing to prospective buyers.” — Dot Frank Here are a few projects the experts say are often good investments. 1. Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels Kitchens and bathrooms that have been remodeled or updated almost always yield the highest return on investments. “Many buyers go straight to the kitchen when searching for a new home. And many home seekers are paying more attention to the details in the bathroom, as many want that spa-like feel when entering the bathroom,” Juarez says. “We gather around the kitchen when having reunions or unwinding at the end of the day or at the beginning of our days to get the morning boost. An updated kitchen and bathroom can make all the difference between selling your home or it receiving any attention at all.” As you make your updates, try to keep them neutral and pleasing for the widest range of buyers. “Avoid trends that are permanent. You don’t want a permanent trend like your kitchen cabinets. That’s permanent,” says Tammy Doss, an agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Central. Doss also cautions against making cheap upgrades like painting countertops, which won’t last long. Don’t have the time or budget for a major overhaul? Consider a small update. “Kitchens and bathrooms might be the heart of the home, but they can also feel daunting to renovate,” says Marjorie Adam, broker and owner at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Pathways. “The good news is that minor upgrades like swapping out cabinet hardware, replacing faucets, and updating light fixtures can be done on a budget and deliver impressive results. These changes elevate the look of the space without requiring a major remodel.” 2. Curb Appeal Updates Doss says curb appeal is one of the best ways to get eyes on your property when you go to sell. “I always tell my buyers, it’s like going on a dating app,” Doss says. “You swipe left or you swipe right. If you see a house that is cluttered with dirty dishes in the sink and it’s just a wreck, you’re going to swipe left. You’re not going to date that house.”  Doss says a well-manicured lawn and facade on your home will draw the most buyers and showings. “Once they’re in the door, they can decide if they want a second date or making an offer,” she says. “They want to see the lawn has been taken care of—no oversized shrub,” Doss says. “They want to make sure the gutters have been taken care of, the porch has been swept off.” If you want to go above and beyond, try adding to your beds. New buyers will be drawn to

    Home Exterior Mistakes That Designers Want You to Quit Making

    ByAmy Panos

    Credit: KIM CORNELISON / Design: Lucy Penfield The exterior of your home is a billboard. It tells the world about you, your personal style, and what you value. So, of course, you want to get it right. Yet great-looking exteriors are made up of so many elements—architectural style, color palette, lighting, landscaping—that it’s easy for one or more to be off without even realizing it. Here, design pros share their pet peeves about home exteriors in order to help you identify and fix what is keeping your house from looking its best. 1. Going Too Small with Light Fixtures “The number one problem—and I don’t even have to think about it—is the lights being the wrong scale for the house,” says designer Hanna Shiplett of Eden + Gray Design Build. Because many houses have prominent garage doors on the front facade, the lights flanking them need to be large enough to balance them. Shiplett recommends fixtures that are at least 12 inches tall. For a more modern fixture that hugs the wall tightly, go as large as 20 inches. The good news is that lighting is one of the easiest exterior problems to remedy by installing new fixtures. “You have to start with where your lights are already roughed in because if you have brick or stone, it’s difficult to change that,” Shiplett says. Make sure the larger fixture doesn’t end up too low or sticking out too much based on where it needs to connect to the electrical wiring. 2. Using Too Many Materials Architect Todd Hotchkiss always cringes when he sees a house where too many different building materials and surfaces have been used, and in a way that’s not realistic. “Materialitis” is his term for this common problem. “I see a lot of people try to put brick or stone on their house without any care as to whether it looks like masonry material,” he says. Instead of being used solely as decoration, a material should look like it’s part of the construction of the house, even if it’s not. “It should look like if the house burned down, the only thing that would be left would be the stone,” he says. One of his tricks for achieving that illusion is to extend brick several inches around a corner to give the impression of a solid brick wall when it’s really just a surface covering. Interior designer Amanda Reynal also stresses the importance of using building materials thoughtfully, which often means using fewer and repeating them. “Sometimes we get into trouble when we just use a material once and we don’t use it in a big way,” she says. “We just use it as an accent, then we don’t repeat it anywhere else. And then it just feels sort of out of left field instead of intentional.” 3. Not Highlighting Your Front Door If you’re not making your front door into a wow moment, you’re missing an opportunity. “Do a really cool finish on that front door, something that introduces your personality and the personality of the house,” Shiplett says. That might mean a heavy-duty old-school wooden door with a stained finish or a high-gloss paint color that stands out from the street. “Painting your front door and changing the color is just not that big of a deal. It’s not that much money, and it can have a really great impact,” she says. If it’s in your budget and space constraints, you might want to consider replacing your door with a larger one. In her remodeling practice, Shiplett is seeing clients swap out single doors with sidelites for double doors. “There is usually just enough space,” she says. Related 4. Getting the Scale of Your Landscaping Wrong “A lot of times we forget to acknowledge the scale of our landscaping in comparison to the house,” Reynal says. “Sometimes it’s too big. There could be some big, beautiful trees in front of a house, but they block the house and don’t frame the elevation well,” she says. “It can be overwhelming for the exterior of the home.” Landscape elements that are too small are just as problematic. “Too many small flowers and plants in front of a house can sort of trivialize the architecture and make it look a little bit too sweet,” Reynal says. “It’s appropriate for a small Nantucket or Cape Cod cottage, but often a bigger house needs appropriate landscaping and shrubbery to complement that and not become too many broken-up little areas of landscaping.” 5. Overlooking the Path to the House “The other thing I wish people would do more often is try to enhance the inside-outside transition,” Hotchkiss says. “You have to use the space between the street and the house in a way that draws you into the house. Try to think of your front yard as a series of spaces.” Define those spaces with pergolas, pathways, trees, and plantings. “Give yourself and your guests an in-between space so that they can shed all the stress of travel and get ready to enter the house,” he says. “That’s why I always love porches.” 6. Ignoring Your Existing Architecture “I think sometimes we try and reinvent exteriors instead of working with what we’re given, and we make it more difficult than it needs to be,” Reynal says. “If you live in a Colonial house, for example, look at what a classic center

    Two rental housing towers up to 29 storeys, featuring a grocery store, approved for Robson Street

    ByKenneth Chan

    The 1500 block of Robson Street in downtown Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood will see a substantial uplift through a new mixed-use rental housing project with substantial commercial retail uses. The City of Vancouver’s Development Permit Board recently approved GWL Realty Advisors’ (GWLRA) application to redevelop 1525-1555 Robson St. — nearly the entirely city block at the northeast corner of the intersection of Robson and Cardero streets. Building Permit Applications were subsequently submitted in May 2025 to demolish the 1949-built, two-storey commercial building on the west side (1525 Robson St.) of the development site — formerly home to Jang Mo Jib Restaurant. The development site also includes the 1965-built, six-storey office and retail building mid-block, on the east side (1555 Robson St.) of the site. Designed by architectural firm Arcadis, there will be two high-rise towers reaching 324 ft. with 28 storeys and 318 ft. with 29 storeys, generating 393 secured purpose-built market rental homes — including 100 studio units, 179 one-bedroom units, 101 two-bedroom units, and 13 three-bedroom units. The two-storey base podium would be dedicated to commercial uses totalling about 41,000 sq. ft. including a 24,400 sq. ft. grocery store — largely located on the second level, with entrance located at the intersection corner — and about 16,600 sq. ft. of smaller commercial retail/restaurant units, which would activate the building’s ground level with Robson Street.

(Arcadis/GWL Realty Advisors) During the Development Permit Board meeting, Matt Shillito, the City of Vancouver’s director of special projects, called this project “much needed” for its significant infusion of rental housing, and highlighted the new major retail uses “along a stretch of Robson that’s looking pretty tired.” “I think it achieves a lot on a relatively tight site. In terms of the architectural approach, I think it’s very thoughtful. I like the nice kind of compact tower floor plates. I like the way the podium has been kept low profile, nice clean lines, and it manages the slope very efficiently, very effectively,” said Shillito. “I like the way the podium has been kept low profile, nice clean lines, and it manages the slope very efficiently, very effectively. With the CRUs at the ground level and then the grocery store above, it’s all neatly housed.” Lon LaClaire, general manager of engineering services for the City of Vancouver, added, “These services are going to be welcome in the area, and I think that the new building is going to be a really great addition to the area.” But Shillito, while also acknowledging that this is a subjective matter, suggested that the development team should consider the possibility of providing the facade design with a lighter tone, as opposed to the current concept using “very dark” materials, which creates a look that is “a little heavier than it otherwise could be.” The development permit application was the project’s first and primary approval, as a rezoning application was not necessary, given that the project aligns with existing policies for the site.

(Arcadis/GWL Realty Advisors) Most of the discussion over this application during the meeting focused on the dedicated freight/truck loading space required for the commercial uses, particularly the grocery store. The panel ultimately agreed that the larger and more intensive requirement of Class C loading — creating designated loading space for a large semi-trailer — would not only be unnecessary for a mid-size grocery store, but also challenging given the tight urban environment. Furthermore, similarly-sized grocery stores integrated into high-density, mixed-use developments in and around downtown Vancouver only have Class B loading spaces, which accommodate smaller single-unit trucks and other medium-sized vehicles. For this reason, the panel agreed to only require a small increase in Class B loading capacity. With the existing Safeway and Whole Foods Market situated on the city blocks just to the west, this would be the third grocery store in Lower Robson. Four underground levels would contain over 250 vehicle parking stalls, including 198 stalls for rental housing residents, 20 stalls for residential visitors, and 33 stalls for commercial uses. This is in addition to over 600 secured bike parking spaces. The total building floor area is pegged at about 324,000 sq. ft., establishing a floor area ratio density of a floor area that is 9.6 times larger than the size of the 33,600 sq. ft. development site.

In March 2024, GWLRA acquired the 16,400 sq. ft. site of 1555 Robson Street from VivaGrand Developments in a deal worth $58 million, according to records. This purchase enabled GWLRA to form a land assembly with its September 2022 acquisition of the similarly sized adjacent site at 1525 Robson St.
