Each month the Sandi Reed Real Estate Group will provide you with a list to keep you on track with those essential home repairs. We want to remind you that maintaining your home does not have to be overwhelming, but it does require some consistent attention.
Most of this month’s task involve getting your home ready for Summer. Some of these projects will only take a few minutes but can make a huge difference as we enter the dog days of summer.
#1 Have Air Conditioner and Furnace Serviced
Twice a year you should have a technician service your heating and air conditioning. Preventative maintenance will keep your units running efficiently, saving energy and saving on energy costs.
#2 Exterior House Evaluation
Walk around the house and look for problems that need to be addressed. Check the roof, gutters, foundation and the house itself for painting or caulking issues.
#3 Have In-Ground Sprinkler System Serviced
If you have a sprinkler system, now’s the time to have it checked for possible issues.
#4 Continue 5-Step Lawn Care Program
Crabgrass preventer + fertilizer should go down mid-March through mid-April. If you are seeding the yard, check with your local nursery for proper applications. Weed & Feed should be applied between April through June. And if you missed that first crabgrass preventer, some companies advise an application between mid-May to early June.
#5 Give Your Deck Some Love
Clean and check deck for safety. Apply preservative sealer to wood.
