Once the heat hits we all turn to our favourite hobbies, friendly meetups, and taking the time to soak up the sun, unfortunately this can lead to us forgetting about some important points of home upkeep! Whether you choose a couple or all of the points listed, it is meant to provide a framework for what things you might want to look at that often slip our minds, or perhaps your process already covers these points, in that case bravo!
Summer
Clean and inspect the dryer vent and exhaust ducts
Check for pests (termites, ants, rodents, etc.)
Deep clean garage, dispose of unused chemicals or paints
Test your irrigation system
Inspect and clean gutterrs again after late spring storms
Seal driveway if needed
Check fence posts and decking for rot or loose boards
Service lawn equipment (sharpen mower blades, change oil)
Touch up exterior paint or caulking on siding, windows, and trim
Test carbon monoxide detectors
These are a couple of some of the great tips I use myself and have heard through the homeowner grapevine, but if you have any other important tips or have questions regarding some of these tasks feel free to let me know!
