Summer Maintenance and Upkeep

The warm weather and longer days allow for opportunities to work on home maintenance projects and beautify your home! By keeping up with home maintenance while your home is still new, you can prevent larger and more expensive problems down the line.

Here are some tips and ideas to get you started:
  • Change your air filters. During times of heavy use like the summer, change every month.
  • Clean all ceiling fans from dust build up
  • Check your grill for cracked lines or broken pieces. Clean and get it ready to use!
  • Clean the dust from smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors
  • Clean out your dryer lines, filter
  • Replace flashlight batteries and test smoke detectors
  • Put up curtains/blinds to help regulate the internal temperature
  • Pull up dead bushes/plants from your yard
  • Put down much to help prevent weeds and retain moisture
