The sun is now shining, so home improvement tasks beckon. How many of the following upgrades and tasks will you check off your summer to-do list?

Pressure-wash your property

Whether you are pressure-washing your home, your deck, your front porch or your walkways, this is a project that is better dealt with in hotter weather; therefore, it is the ideal summer task.

Clean your gutters

It isn’t anybody’s favorite pastime, yet gutter cleaning is a critical maintenance project. Cleaning your gutters should be a part of your fall and spring to-do list; however, it also is smart to clear out the gutters before a heavy storm strikes, to eliminate any clogs that might’ve accumulated.

Seal your driveway

The driveway will last for a longer period of time if you have it sealed on regular basis. Once you factor in time for curing, this task takes 3 – 4 days; therefore, check the weather before scheduling an appointment with a professional to ensure that you will have a couple of consecutive days of great weather.

Check your chimney

Routine inspections and cleanings of the chimney helps to prevent fires and keeps your property safe. Schedule time every summer to have the chimney inspected in order for you to do any required repairs before cold weather arrives.
Paint the shutters

Replacing faded, tired shutters may be expensive, yet it’s possible to give them a clean, fresh look with nothing more than a couple of coats of paint. Don’t complete shoddy work on your home. Handyman tasks are better left to the professionals, like Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair!

Seal your deck

Consistent sun and rain exposure can take a toll on the deck’s appearance. Prepare some time in the temperate summertime weather to spruce up the deck by scheduling any necessary repairs, which will give it a good sealing and cleaning.

Wash your windows

The sun in the summer looks better gleaming through clean windows; therefore, set apart a weekend to have them washed early in the season.

Inspect your roof

Have the roof inspected in the summer to make sure that you will have an abundance of time to schedule any repairs before the winter temperatures return.
