Summer is here, bringing sunny days, warm evenings, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy your home’s outdoor spaces. But with the heat comes its challenges—intense sunlight, sudden storms, and the need to keep your home cool and comfortable. Don’t let the summer elements take a toll on your property! Use this checklist to prepare and protect your home, and remember, at Ideal Renovations, “you name it, we do it!”
1. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters
The summer sun and unexpected storms can wreak havoc on your roof. Check for loose or missing tiles, leaks, and clogged gutters. A well-maintained roof protects your home from water damage and keeps it cool.
2. Maintain Your Air Conditioning
Your air conditioner works overtime in summer, so make sure it’s ready for the heat. Clean or replace filters, and test your system to ensure it’s running efficiently. A cool home is a happy home!
3. Check Windows and Doors
Hot air sneaks in where it shouldn’t. Inspect your windows and doors for worn-out seals and gaps in the weatherstripping. By fixing these, you’ll keep the cool air in and reduce energy costs.
4. Prep Your Outdoor Spaces
Summer is the season for outdoor entertaining! Clean your deck or patio, repair any loose boards or tiles, and refresh your outdoor furniture.
5. Seal Cracks to Prevent Pests
Summer is also bug season, with ants, mosquitoes, and other pests finding their way indoors. Seal cracks, gaps, and holes around your home to keep unwanted visitors out.
6. Inspect Plumbing and Water Systems
Inspect your outdoor taps, hoses, and sprinkler systems for leaks. A small drip can waste gallons of water over the summer.
7. Refresh Your Exterior
The summer heat can fade and crack your exterior paint. A touch-up or a full repaint can do wonders for your home’s curb appeal. Our painting services will make your home the envy of the neighbourhood while protecting it from the elements.
