Smart Summer Upgrades for Your Connecticut Home

Summer is one of the best times of year to tackle home improvement projects—especially the kind that protect your investment, improve energy efficiency, and boost curb appeal. At Turner Home Improvement Contractors, we help Connecticut homeowners make smart, high-impact upgrades that are built to last.

Here are seven projects you should consider while the weather is on your side:

1. Replace Your Roof While Conditions Are Prime

Summer offers the ideal conditions for roof replacement: fewer weather delays, faster installation, and time to prepare before hurricane season and winter storms arrive.
As a GAF Master Elite® Contractor, we offer:

  • Free roof inspections (including drone technology)

  • Timberline® HDZ Ultra upgrades

  • Full ventilation evaluations

  • Flexible financing options

Serving Glastonbury, Clinton, and surrounding Connecticut towns.

2. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows

Old windows don’t just look tired—they also let your AC escape and energy bills rise.
Our ProVia windows are ENERGY STAR® certified, built to block summer heat and winter drafts.
You’ll enjoy:

  • Better temperature control

  • Increased natural light

  • A quieter, more comfortable home

We’re Connecticut’s only ProVia Platinum Dealer, which means better pricing and trained installers.

3. Replace Your Siding and Protect What’s Underneath

Many homeowners are surprised by what we find under their siding: rotted wood, missing insulation, or improper moisture barriers.
Whether you choose vinyl or James Hardie® fiber cement siding, we’ll make sure your project improves energy efficiency and adds long-term protection.
Turner follows manufacturer-recommended install practices to ensure your home is fully sealed and properly ventilated.

4. Don’t Forget About Attic Ventilation

Poor attic ventilation can cause major issues—especially in the summer. Trapped heat can warp shingles, increase cooling costs, and even lead to mold.
When we install a roof, we always check your ventilation system.
We offer:

  • Ridge vents

  • Soffit vents

  • Solar-powered roof fans
    All properly flashed and covered under warranty.

5. Make an Entrance with a New Front Door

Replacing your entry door is one of the fastest ways to add curb appeal and security.
Our custom ProVia doors are foam-filled for insulation, built to match your home’s style, and professionally installed by certified teams.
As Connecticut’s only Platinum ProVia Dealer, we offer exclusive pricing and product access.

6. Replace Skylights—Don’t Wait Until They Leak

If you’re replacing your roof and you have skylights, now is the time to replace them too.
We only replace existing skylights, and doing it during your roofing project ensures proper integration and flashing.
Outdated or aging skylights often have worn seals or single-pane glass, which can lead to leaks and energy loss.
Ask us about options like solar-powered venting skylights from VELUX.

7. Repair or Replace Your Deck for Summer Living

Make the most of your backyard with a deck that’s built to last.
We offer:

  • Repairs to railings, boards, and framing

  • Full deck replacements in pressure-treated, composite, or PVC

  • Code-compliant structures ready for entertaining

Let us help you build your backyard escape—one board at a time.
