Summer is quickly approaching and it’s time to start tackling your summer to-do list now so when it starts to warm up you can relax and don’t have as much work to do! Who wants to spend every weekend in the summer working on the house? We don’t and I’m sure you don’t either! We’ve made this checklist for you to start chipping away at now so when summer comes you’ll have more time to enjoy yourself!
Powerwash and Re-Seal your deck
It’s not as horrendous as it sounds, don’t worry! It’ll save you quite a bit of money and time in the long run. Don’t know where to start? CLICK HERE!
Check your window seals for leaks
If you think you may have some leaks, recaulk your windows/doors. I imagine you’re probably going to have your A/C on this summer, let’s not try to cool the outdoors. 😉
Have your AC serviced
By doing this you will avoid AC issues in the heat of summer. Not only that but having your AC serviced regularly will extend the lifespan of your AC unit!
Powerwash your brick/siding
The exterior of your house will probably get build up… Dust, bird poop, dirt, etc. Most folks don’t really think about this but if you want your home to look its best, keep up with it! 😉
Do a test on your smoke detectors
Yes, you can test your smoke detectors without starting a fire! CLICK HERE to see how!
Reverse the direction of your fan, if needed
In the summer, you want your fan to move counterclockwise. That’ll push cool air down to the floor and keep your house nice and cool!
Summer home maintenance can be easy when you know the right things to do. Taking care of these items now is important, don’t procrastinate! Another plus to this simple list is most of these items you can take care of yourself rather than paying someone else to do!
Take care & stay cool!
