Summer is the perfect season to check in on the condition of your home. After the wear and tear of winter and spring, small issues can build up and ignoring them could lead to bigger, costlier problems. A few simple repairs can make a big difference in comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Start with your windows. If they stick, won’t stay open, or are drafty, they likely need realignment, cleaning, or new weatherstripping. Next, inspect outdoor faucets and hose bibs for leaks caused by freezing temperatures many homeowners don’t notice these until summer watering begins. Damaged window screens are another common issue. A quick re-screening can keep insects out while letting the breeze in.
Loose railings, cracked steps, or shaky deck boards? These pose a real safety risk, especially with increased outdoor use in summer. A few hours of repair work can help prevent accidents. Inside the home, squeaky doors or warped cabinet hinges often worsen in humid weather, but they’re easy to fix with the right tools.

Check ceiling fans for wobbling or noise. A simple tightening or rebalancing can keep rooms cooler without driving you crazy. And finally, touch up chipped exterior paint on trim, shutters, or railings to protect wood surfaces from sun and rain.
