As summer approaches, ensuring your home is ready to handle the heat and activity of the season is crucial. For homeowners in the CSRA, this means taking proactive steps to maintain and enhance their properties. Here are some essential tips to get your home summer-ready, whether you’re planning to enjoy it with family or thinking about putting it on the market.

HVAC Check-Up:

Beat the heat by ensuring your air conditioning system is running efficiently. Schedule a professional inspection and service to avoid any mid-summer breakdowns. This not only improves energy efficiency but also extends the life of your system.

Landscaping and Outdoor Spaces:

Enhance your curb appeal and enjoy your outdoor living space by sprucing up your landscaping. Consider drought-resistant plants that thrive in the CSRA climate, and set up a functional outdoor area perfect for summer barbecues and gatherings.

Roof and Gutter Maintenance:

Inspect your roof for any signs of wear or damage. Clear out gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage from summer rains. These simple acts can prevent costly repairs in the future.

Interior Comforts:

Swap out heavy fabrics for lighter materials in your home décor to keep your living spaces cool and comfortable. Consider energy-efficient window treatments to block out the summer sun and reduce cooling costs.

Prepare for Pests:

Summer can bring pests, so seal up any cracks and gaps in your home’s exterior. Consider an eco-friendly pest control service to keep your home bug-free throughout the season.
