👄👄👄Tackle these five summer maintenance tasks during June's longer days and better weather, and save yourself time and money this winter.
1. UPDATE OUTDOOR LIGHTING - Replace outdated or rusted fixtures, and clear away vegetation blocking existing lights.
2. CLEAN YOUR HOUSE'S SIDING - While cleaning, visually inspect for cracks or holes and seal them to keep out winter drafts and pests.
3. FOCUS ON YOUR FOUNDATION - Walk the perimeter of your home and inspect the masonry for crumbling mortar, cracks, or holes. Patch minor fractures with hydraulic cement, and make sure soil slopes away from your foundation to prevent water pooling.
4. SEAL YOUR DRIVEWAY ASPHALT - Apply a quality asphalt sealer to protect your driveway from the elements. The temperature must be above 50°F for the sealer to stick properly, making early summer the ideal time for this task
5. BUY TOOLS - June is well known for Father's Day tool promotions, making it the perfect month to stock up on discounted lawn care gear, power tools, or equipment needed for your seasonal home projects.
