There’s no better time to go on a relaxing vacation with your loved ones than summer. But before you pack your swimsuits and rev up your car, don’t neglect the home you’ll be leaving behind. Your summer maintenance needs are a little different from the other seasons but that doesn’t mean they can be ignored.
In today’s post, the home improvement professionals at ABC Seamless Siding walk you through some summer home maintenance essentials you need to finish before taking that much-needed holiday.
Keep Your Gutters Protected
The days may be warmer but the occasional summer showers still pose a threat. Make sure that your gutters are free of any obstruction that could block the flow of water. One way to do this is to manually clear the debris inside your gutters and downspouts. Alternatively, you can permanently prevent clogging by installing Gutter Helmet®, the best gutter guard system available today.
Seasonal HVAC Inspections
Alaskan summers are mild, but there’s still occasional need for air conditioning. Have a professional technician inspect your AC unit to ensure that you have reliable cooling throughout the summer.
Windows and Screens
Dry summer days can increase the amount of dust in the air. This means dirtier windows and even dirtier screens. Clean the glass surfaces on your doors and windows before you leave your home. You can use a diluted liquid detergent and a spray bottle, but store-bought cleaning solutions work well, too. Remember to use a non-abrasive washcloth to wipe down the glass afterward.
