Summer is a great time to catch up on a few home maintenance tasks. When you maintain your house regularly this helps prevent big problems in the future as well as save you money!
Easy Summer house maintenance tasks:
- Clean roof if needed:
Clean roof by spraying moss and algae killer on the roof and then in a couple of days spraying off the moss with a hose. NEVER PRESSURE WASH A ROOF! (Don’t forget to clean the gutters after this)
- Use pressure washer to remove moss from sidewalks, driveways, decks, patios:
If you do not own one, borrow from a neighbor or rent one from local hardware store
- Have furnace serviced
Summer is cheapest time of the year to get your furnace maintained and you know it will be ready when the time comes to use it!
- Inspect for plants and bushes on fences and siding of house
Stake or tie back plants away from house and fences to prevent rot- this little task can save LOTS of money and headache in the future
- Seal your deck if needed
Spray water over your deck- if it beads the sealer is sound. If the water soaks in- it needs to be re-sealed. Sealing a deck and fence increases the longevity by protecting it from sun and water
