1. Refresh Your Home’s Exterior πŸͺ΅πŸ§Ό

After a long Missouri winter, your siding, gutters, and roof may need some TLC. May is an ideal month to:

  • Power wash siding and walkways

  • Inspect and clean gutters and downspouts

  • Check your roof for storm damage or wear

  • Replace damaged siding or loose shingles

➑️ Pro Tip: New siding or roof repairs now can prevent costly damage later in the year.


2. Build or Refinish Your Deck πŸͺšπŸ”

Spring in the Midwest means BBQs, bonfires, and spending more time outside. If you’ve been dreaming of a beautiful backyard deck or patio, May is deck-building season!

  • Add a new deck for outdoor dining and entertaining

  • Re-stain or seal existing decks to protect them from the summer sun

  • Install railings, steps, or pergolas for function and style

At 4-D Home Solutions, we build custom decks designed to fit your lifestyle and your yard. πŸ› οΈ
