7 Ways to Prepare Your Home For Summer
Summer is quickly approaching and it’s time to look at your home and make sure its summer-ready. Utah winter can really do damage to your home. It’s time to make sure you fix any issues while its warm.
Reinforce The Fence Posts
Go around your fence pulling/yanking on each post and panel. If it’s sturdy that move on to the next project. If it’s wiggling, warped, rotten that its time for some TLC.
Fix Your Sprinklers
Check for any broken heads and cracked pipes, by running your sprinkler one zone at a time.
Repair Siding
Check your siding. Are there any loose siding or shingles missing? Any post-winter rot? Repair those and retouch any stain it might need and chipped paint.
Inspect The Roof
Look at your roof from across the street, from on your property, and if it safe on the roof. Look for curling, cracked, or missing shingles.
Spruce Up The Front Door
Your front door, an area that makes the first impression for your guests. Spruce it up by a new coat of paint. Also, check the weather stripping and caulk any gaps.
Clean The Driveway/Walkway
Make sure to clear away any debris than patch up cracks with a sealer. Seems obnoxious but in the long run, this will help keep your driveway around much longer.
Update Your Door
Probe the weather stripping around the door with a screwdriver and caulk any post-winter gaps before tightening hinges that may have come loose due to shifts in temperature.
