Are you ready for summer? As we quickly approach the season's unofficial start, here are a few ways to prepare your home for the summer heat. A little work now will allow for plenty of summer fun later.
Watch Out for Pests
Summer pests love to ruin fun nights outside. Keep the fun going all night by prepping your yard for summer insects. Spray your yard and set up repellents like citronella candles to keep the pests away.
Check Your AC
Summer temps are only getting warmer. Make sure that you and your family can stay cool this summer with a fully functional air conditioning system. It's good to get it professionally cleaned and inspected before the hot temps really fire up.
Prep Your Yard and Garden
Spring is the perfect time to ensure a beautiful summer in your yard and garden. Test all of your irrigation for leaks. Clean your yard and garden of weeds and mulch from last season. Starting fresh with new mulch will give your flower beds and shrubs a little pop this summer.
Complete a Gutter Check
Check your gutters for leaves and leaks. Then, clear them so water can flow without leaking. Clogged gutters can lead to more significant issues, such as leaky roofs or walls.
Update Your Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting around trees, flower beds, or walkways makes your home look nice. It also acts as a security measure when traveling.
Seal Your Deck and Patio
Before outdoor entertaining season kicks into high gear, you'll want to ensure your outdoor living area is in prime condition. Repair any cracks and update any staining that needs to be done. Adding a nice coat of sealant will protect your space from the rain and sun.
Summer will be here before you know it. Prepping now will let you have fun in the sun all season long. I hope these tips help. I'm ready to help you find your dream home if you're considering a new house this summer. Text or call to start your journey.
