I value the importance of regular home maintenance, and I always like to remind homeowners of the seasonal maintenance checklists. I may be repeating myself,…
Regular maintenance keeps your house clean, and your systems and appliances work more efficiently when properly maintained. Even newly constructed homes require routine upkeep and will last longer, keeping your family safe and secure for years to come.
Summertime is a great time to inspect your driveway and walkways for cracks and any unevenness that could be a tripping hazard. A few summers ago, I resealed my asphalt driveway, and it looks fantastic. The process added several more years of life to my driveway. You can hire a professional to get this done, but there are also some great DIY crack repair kits that will help you restore your walkways in a few simple steps.
Another way little critters or insects can get into your home is through openings. Fill in any holes around venting as this allows air leakage and acts as an access point for critters. Also, check for cracks below windows and doorsteps and repair any tears in window and door screens too. You may be going away on vacation or spending more time outside your house for extended periods, so this may be a good time to evaluate your home’s security system. I am a big fan of smart security systems and lighting, and there are a lot of options that you can control directly from your phone even if you’re out of the country.
