Summer in Michigan is a beautiful time—barbecues, backyard parties, and long evenings on the deck. But before you invite your friends and family over, it’s essential to make sure your home’s exterior is summer-ready. At Ripcord Construction, we specialize in preparing homes across Monroe County, Washtenaw County, Oakland County, and Wayne County for every season. Here’s how you can get your home in top shape this summer.
1. Inspect and Repair Siding
Michigan winters can be rough on your siding. Cracks, warping, and faded paint can all take away from your home’s curb appeal. Our team at Ripcord Construction provides expert siding inspection and replacement services to keep your exterior looking fresh and functioning properly.
2. Power Wash the Exterior
Over the year, dirt, mildew, and grime can build up on your siding, brick, or stucco. A good power washing can make a world of difference. If you’re unsure about DIY methods, our professionals are ready to help you clean up with the right tools and techniques.
3. Gutter Cleaning and Inspection
Clogged gutters from spring rain and debris can lead to foundation damage and roof leaks. We offer full gutter cleaning and inspection services in all four counties—Monroe, Washtenaw, Oakland, and Wayne—to ensure your drainage system is working properly before the next big summer storm.
4. Roof Inspection and Repair
Summer heat can intensify existing roof damage. Missing shingles, soft spots, or small leaks can escalate quickly. Let us inspect your roof and recommend repairs or replacement as needed—our roofing experts are local and dependable.
5. Refresh Paint and Trim
Faded or chipped paint can really drag down your home’s exterior look. Whether it’s your siding, doors, windows, or trim, Ripcord Construction offers detailed painting services that help bring back your home’s charm.
6. Repair or Replace Decks and Patios
Your deck is the heart of summer relaxation. We’ll help you assess its condition and provide repairs, resealing, or even full replacements. We specialize in wood, composite, and concrete patio work for homes throughout Southeastern Michigan.
7. Window and Door Sealing
Leaks around windows and doors don’t just cost you in energy bills—they also let in moisture. Ripcord Construction checks all seals and caulking to help you stay cool and dry all summer long.
8. Concrete and Driveway Repairs
Cracked or uneven driveways and sidewalks are not only unsightly but also unsafe. We offer concrete repair and replacement services for your driveway, pathways, and patios, ensuring your home’s exterior is as safe as it is beautiful.
9. Fence Repair and Installation
Need a privacy boost or just want to add charm to your yard? We install and repair all types of fencing—wood, vinyl, chain link—for homes in Monroe, Washtenaw, Oakland, and Wayne counties. A sturdy fence makes your outdoor space more functional and appealing.
10. Landscaping Support Structures
Looking to support new landscaping efforts? We can help build or repair retaining walls, garden boxes, and other custom outdoor features. These additions not only help with function but also boost curb appeal.
11. Storm Preparation Check
Michigan weather is unpredictable. Ripcord Construction helps you get ready for summer storms with reinforcement of vulnerable structures and storm damage assessments. Don’t wait until it’s too late—preventative care can save you thousands.
