Sellers Tip #15 Summer Home Maintenance Tips
Summer Home Maintenance Tips
Summer has finally arrived and its a great time to catch up on home maintenance projects that you would rather not do during the cold winter months. Keeping up on maintenance can prevent unforeseen issues that might come up, when it comes time to sell, and helps your home maintain or even increase in its value. Just like your car needs routine oil changes & other maintenance, your home requires on going repairs as well.
Bonus Tips
One of the first things you should check is your roof system. Check for any cracks or missing shingles or other signs of damage. This would also be a good time to remove any moss that has built up on your roof. While you are up on the roof, this is a great opportunity to check you gutter system for any debris or blockages that could keep the water from draining like it should. Don’t forget to check you chimney and have it cleaned as well.
Next you will want to check your deck for rotten or warped deck boards that might need to be repaired before you treat your deck. Check you forecast to make sure you will have enough time to get your deck repaired, cleaned and treated before any inclement weather reappears.
Your heating system will not be getting much use this time of year, so now would be a great time to do any repairs that may take some time. Better to get them repaired now when you won’t need your heat as opposed to waiting until its -30 out!
