Prepare for warmer weather!
Out with the rain and in with the warm summer sun. We compiled tips from our professionals to keep you cool and comfortable!
Brighten up your space with clean windows: Inside and out, windows are a crucial feature to your home design. It is important to keep them clean and free of dust and pollen as the seasons change to ensure bright views and longevity.
Summer cleaning: Vacuum under hard to reach spaces like your refrigerator to improve function and prevent any possible fire hazards from built up dust and debris.
Seal out pests: As the warm season approaches, make sure your windows are working and the mechanics are ready to go by opening each window a few times. This is also a good time to add fresh caulk to windows and doorways to keep bugs at bay to maintain the barrier between your home and theirs. This will also help prevent any leaks from summer storms.
Prevent fire hazards:
Regularly clean out your dryer vents and exhaust ducts to eliminate lint buildup, significantly reducing the risk of house fires—especially crucial during periods of high usage, like the approaching summer heat.
Check safety detectors:
Keep your family safe by regularly testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replacing batteries as needed.
Protect Your Gutters:
Prepare for summer weather by clearing out your gutters and downspouts, shielding them from the potential havoc of debris carried by strong winds and storms.
Prepare your deck: Pressure wash your deck or patio and apply a fresh layer of stain if needed. Ensure the longevity of your deck by preparing it as the warm weather comes!
Seal your driveway: Fortify your driveway against wear and tear by sealing cracks and refreshing its appearance, ensuring durability and enhancing curb appeal.
Check and replace air filters:
If needed, replace any dirty air filters to improve air flow and keep your home cool during the summer heat.
