Is Your Home Ready for the Summer?

The warm weather has returned, and people are thinking about the hazy, lazy summer days ahead.

Springtime is the perfect time of year to start getting your home ready for the season ahead. That way, you won’t have too much to do once Mother Nature really cranks up the heat – and you’ll be able to relax with your family and enjoy all the summer season has to offer.

5 Ideas for Getting Your Home Summer-Ready

• Check your gutters. During the winter and spring months, twigs, leaves, needles, pollen, and bugs can collect in your gutters and keep the rainwater from flowing freely. That can damage wood, roofing, and shingles over time.
• Prep the patio. Getting your patio ready for outdoor entertaining is next on the list. Make sure outdoor furniture is clean, and that your gas grill is cookout-ready. Scrub down walkways and decks, and stain any decking as necessary.
• Check out windows and doors. If any gaps have developed during the winter months, apply caulk to keep drafts at bay. Wash windows and doors both inside and out, and check out latches and hinges to make sure they’re working properly.
• Check out lawns and gardens. Rake any twigs, branches, leaves, and pet waste that may have accumulated on your yard during the winter. Add grass seed to bare spots, and get the flower bed summer-ready with some weed pulling, fresh annuals, and mulch.
• Prepare your AC. The condenser portion of an air conditioning system is typically outdoors and can collect twigs, weeds, grasses, debris, and even pests. Clean up around the unit, trim weeds and grasses, and gently wash the unit down with your garden hose.
