Now that summer is here it is time to prepare for all the fun outdoor activities at your home. Most people assume just cutting the grass, pulling some weeds, and trimming the hedges as all that really needs to be completed. Unfortunately, to help maintain the beauty and value of your home there are some other items I would add to your list.
WASH THE HOUSE- Wash away all the winter grim and spring dust. Clean windows, screens, and hose off the dirt, grit, and mildew from the exterior. The grime can damage your paint and masonry over time. So please spray with a mild detergent that won't harm the wonder landscape and hose it off.
CLEAN THE GUTTERS- Gutters are a huge part of controlling water flow that can damage your roof, walls, and foundation so making sure these are not clogged will help prevent damage from occurring during your time owning the house.
PAINT- If you see p*eling, chipping, or flaking paint you may need to touch up or do a full new coat of paint before the heat and rains from the summer come in and damaged exposed surfaces.
Again if you are not very skilled with any of these tasks I highly encourage you to call a professional and utilize their time to teach you on how to maintain the exterior of your home for years to come.
