Your Ultimate Summer Home Maintenance Checklist

1. Inspect & Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, foundation issues, and mold. Make sure rainwater flows freely away from your home.

2. Check Windows and Doors for Leaks

Seal gaps and apply caulk where needed to keep your AC in and hot air out.

3. Test Exterior Faucets & Sprinklers

Look for leaks or low pressure that could indicate a hidden issue. Early fixes prevent costly water bills or damage.

4. Power Wash Siding, Decks & Walkways

Clear away grime, algae, and mildew to improve curb appeal and avoid surface deterioration.

5. Inspect & Repair Decks and Railings

Loose boards or wobbly rails? Now’s the time to secure them before summer entertaining begins.

6. Seal Driveways & Sidewalk Cracks

Summer heat can make cracks worse—protect your concrete before the damage spreads.

7. Service Your Air Conditioner or HVAC

Don’t wait for the first 90° day to find out your system’s struggling. A quick check now saves headaches later.

8. Check Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Summer temperatures can affect battery life. Keep your family safe with fresh batteries and test buttons.

9. Schedule a Whole-Home Maintenance Check

Many issues go unseen—until they become big problems. Let us handle your full inspection and take care of repairs before they escalate.
