Summer Home Maintenance Tips Every Houston Homeowner Should Know

Houston summers are no joke—with sweltering heat, high humidity, and hurricane season all in play. Protect your home (and your wallet) by staying ahead with these essential summer maintenance tips:

1. HVAC Check-Up: Have your system serviced before the next heat wave. Change air filters monthly and make sure your attic is well-ventilated.

2. Gutter Cleaning: Summer storms can quickly clog gutters and downspouts. Clean them now to avoid water damage later.

3. Tree Trimming: Trim back limbs that could fall during storms and clear branches from power lines and your roof.

4. Roof Inspection: Check for loose shingles or flashing issues before peak hurricane season.

5. Exterior Maintenance: Power wash siding, decks, and driveways to prevent mold buildup from humidity.

6. Check for Leaks: Inspect your sprinkler system, outdoor faucets, and hose connections to prevent water waste.

7. Pest Control: Houston’s summer heat is prime time for pests. Schedule regular service to keep critters at bay.
