Summer Home Maintenance Checklist

Warm weather is quickly approaching and a summer home maintenance checklist will get your home and lawn ready! A printable checklist is the perfect way to stay on top of those home repairs and updates and keep your house in tip top shape.

WHAT IS A SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST?

Each season of the year brings with it different tasks and challenges when it comes to upkeep on our homes. A house is one of our biggest investments and it is important to keep it in good condition.

A summer home maintenance checklist is just a list of tasks that may need to be done on your home or yard as warmer weather months approach.

It is simple to check each task off as you finish it and the checklist keeps you on track!

SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE TIPS

If you are a new home owner you may not know what home maintenance tasks need to be accomplished.

Here are some summer home maintenance tips and tricks to keep your property in working order.

Do a home and yard walk through and look at every single inch of your home and yard.
Take notes on the checklist and mark off things that do not need to be done. Add items that may not be on the list.
Remember to do maintenance on items you only use occasionally and may forget about.
Keep in mind that it is much cheaper to maintain your home then to have to replace or do major repairs from neglect.

INDOOR SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE TASKS

Some of the items on the checklist are specifically for inside your house. These may be things that have to be done multiple times per year or maybe just once a year.

Some of the important summer maintenance tasks are:
