Spruce Up Your Space: 5 Easy Summer DIY Projects for Your Home

(BPT) - There's still plenty of summer left to enjoy! It's also the perfect season to refresh your space and take on a few home improvement projects. With longer days and warmer weather, it's a great time to roll up your sleeves and get things done around the house. From quick touch-ups to small but mighty upgrades, these five tasks will have your home looking and feeling brand new in no time:

Touch Up Walls

As time goes on, walls can show signs of wear, from small dents to nail holes. Restore them to their former glory by patching holes and imperfections with DAP DryDex® Nail Hole Filler, now available in a convenient 1-fluid-ounce tube as part of the DAP On-The-Go line. This spackling goes on pink and dries white, indicating when it's ready to be sanded and painted. Finish with a fresh coat of paint for a crisp, clean look.

Re-Caulk Windows & Doors

Temperature changes and seasonal shifts can cause caulk to crack or shrink, leading to energy loss. Improve insulation and boost energy efficiency by sealing gaps and cracks around windows and doors with DAP ALEX Plus® All-Purpose Caulk. Available in a 2.8-fluid-ounce "On-The-Go" size, this high-quality, flexible caulk is perfect for all your touch-ups around the house and ensures a tight seal to keep your home comfortable and energy costs down.
