Summer is a delightful season that allows us to bask in the sunshine, relish outdoor activities, and unwind in the comfort of our homes. However, it is crucial to prioritize home maintenance during this time to ensure a well maintained and comfortable living environment.
In this article, as Premier Windows, we will provide valuable tips for summer home maintenance, helping you keep your property in excellent condition. Whether you are a homeowner seeking to maintain your property or a business owner in need of maintenance services, Premier Windows is here to assist you. Here are 4 tips for summer home maintenance.
1. Exterior Cleaning
Kickstart your summer home maintenance checklist with exterior cleaning. Over time, dirt, dust, and grime can accumulate on the exterior surfaces of your home. Including your walls, windows, doors and patios. To restore a fresh and clean look, consider pressure washing or soft washing these areas. Pressure washing effectively removes stubborn stains and dirt, while soft washing is recommended for delicate surfaces like screens and outdoor furniture.
The exterior cleaning of your windows and doors will also require a different technique than pressure washing. The easiest way to do this without damaging them is to wipe your windows and doors with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. We also have a guide on maintaining your windows and doors that you can always refer to.
2. Window and Patio Maintenance
Windows play a vital role in any home, providing natural light, ventilation, and insulation. During the summer, it is essential to inspect and maintain your windows to ensure optimal functionality. Check for cracks, gaps, or damaged seals that may affect their performance. If you notice any issues that might be overwhelming or confusing to you, contact Premier Windows for window repair. Whether it is double or triple glazing, we will be able to help. And, like in most cases, we can preserve your unit without a need for a replacement.
3. Yard Maintenance
A well maintained yard enhances the curb appeal of your home and provides a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. During the summer, prioritize yard care by removing dead parts from trees and plants, weeding garden beds, and laying mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Insect control is also crucial during this season. Use bug spray to keep mosquitoes and other pests at bay, and consider sealing your windows and doors to keep out insects and pests, especially at this time of the year.
4. Indoor Spaces
While summer encourages outdoor enjoyment, it is equally important to care for your indoor spaces. Inspect and maintain hoses for appliances such as the washing machine and dishwasher to prevent leaks and water damage. Check smoke alarms to ensure they are in working order and replace batteries if necessary. Clean the garbage disposal and dishwasher to keep them running smoothly and help you maintain your indoor spaces.
Consider Home Improvements
Summer is usually the perfect time for many homeowners to carry out any upgrades that they have been holding back from during the winter months. Whether that is a new roofline product, a new front door or a bifolding door to create a seamless transition between your home and garden, Premier Windows has the right home improvement product that you may need.
We would also highly recommend that you consider glazed extensions. Being a popular choice at this time of the year, our glazed extensions consist of bespoke conservatories and orangeries, as well as conservatory roofs.
