🏡☀️ AUGUST HOMEOWNER MAINTENANCE UPDATE ☀️🏡
As summer begins to wind down, August is the perfect time to tackle a few important home maintenance tasks and prepare your property for the changing seasons ahead.
✅ Inspect your roof, eavestroughs, and downspouts for damage after summer storms.
✅ Trim trees and shrubs away from your home, roof, and walkways.
✅ Check windows and doors for drafts and worn weather stripping before cooler weather arrives.
✅ Service your furnace and book fall maintenance early to avoid the seasonal rush.
✅ Clean and seal decks, fences, and outdoor wood surfaces to protect them from the elements.
✅ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if needed.
✅ Inspect driveways and walkways for cracks and seal them before winter freeze-thaw cycles.
✅ Review your home insurance coverage to ensure you're properly protected.
