As the days grow longer and warmer, June is the perfect month to tackle essential home maintenance tasks that protect your investment and prepare your property for the summer ahead. Here's a homeowner-friendly checklist to help you stay on top of it all:
🧽 1. Clean and Inspect Gutters & Downspouts
Spring showers can leave debris in your gutters. Clear them out and ensure water flows properly away from your foundation to prevent moisture issues.
🧰 2. Service Your HVAC System
With Sacramento summers heating up, make sure your air conditioning unit is working efficiently. Replace air filters and consider a professional tune-up if it’s been over a year.
🪟 3. Check Windows & Doors for Leaks
Inspect for gaps, cracks, or worn weatherstripping that could let in hot air (and drive up your cooling costs). Reseal as needed.
🏠 4. Power Wash Exterior Surfaces
Refresh your home’s curb appeal by cleaning siding, driveways, patios, and walkways. It also helps prevent mildew and grime buildup.
🌳 5. Prune Overgrown Trees & Shrubs
Trim branches away from your house and roofline to prevent pest access and storm damage. This also helps keep your landscaping tidy and healthy.
🐜 6. Watch for Pest Activity
Warmer weather brings out bugs and critters. Check for ant trails, wasp nests, and signs of rodents. Seal any entry points and treat as necessary.
🚿 7. Inspect Irrigation Systems
Make sure sprinklers and drip systems are functioning properly and not overwatering. Set timers to early morning or evening to conserve water.
💡 8. Test Outdoor Lighting
Check that pathway, porch, and security lights are working. Replace bulbs and clean light covers for maximum brightness and safety.
🔒 9. Review Home Safety Devices
Test smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and check fire extinguishers. This is a great time to replace old batteries and inspect expiration dates.
🧼 10. Deep Clean High-Traffic Interior Areas
Refresh floors, rugs, and upholstery after a season of muddy shoes and pollen. Open windows and let your home breathe.
✅ Final Thought:
Routine seasonal maintenance saves money, prevents costly repairs, and helps preserve the value of your home. This June, carve out a weekend and check these items off—you’ll thank yourself later!
