With warmer weather here, now is a great time to take care of maintenance around your home and yard. Take care of summer home maintenance to stay cool and happy for the entire fun season.
Keeping Cool Inside:
1. Ensure your air conditioning systems are in good working order before the peak of summer to avoid added stress on the units.
2. Check and recaulk windows to improve efficiency and reduce cooling costs. Consider replacing windows if necessary to further enhance energy efficiency.
Beating the Heat:
1. Schedule outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day to minimize the risk of heat-related issues. Morning is ideal for yard work to boost energy levels for the day ahead.
2. Water gardens and grass in the evening to maximize absorption and minimize evaporation. Apply bug spray if working outdoors during this time to ward off insects.
Sprucing Up Curb Appeal:
1. Undertake larger maintenance tasks like repainting the exterior or replacing worn siding during early summer.
2. Add small touches such as hanging a summer wreath on the door or planting heat-tolerant flowers to enhance the appearance of your home’s exterior.
