Smart Summer Maintenance: What Every Homeowner Should Tackle Before It Gets Too Hot

Summer isn’t just for BBQs and pool days — it’s also the perfect time to knock out a few key maintenance items that can save you big in the long run. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just want to protect your investment, here’s a quick summer checklist that will keep your home in top shape.

  • Clean those gutters (yes, even in summer)
    Debris from spring storms can cause drainage issues when those summer downpours hit.

  • HVAC check-up
    A simple service call can prevent a mid-July meltdown (literally). Change the filter and get it looked at.

  • Power wash like a pro
    Driveways, siding, porches — that curb appeal matters even if you’re not listing yet.

  • Mulch refresh & plant trimming
    Not only does it look good, it keeps weeds down and your foundation protected from dry soil gaps.

  • Check windows and screens
    Loose seals = higher A/C bills. Torn screens = summer bugs moving in rent-free.
