Summer is officially here which means it's time for farmer’s markets, ball games, outdoor dining, family vacations, fireworks, flip-flops….we could go on and on! But hot summer days also mean homeowners need to give attention to a few time-sensitive tasks around the house. No need to stress—knock them out early in the season and get back to your summer fun. Here’s a shortlist of summer home maintenance jobs to help you get started: 1. Cut back overgrown vegetation from your home’s walls and fences. 2. Inspect your exterior for loose or rotted siding. 3. Wash windows inside and out. 4. Service your AC and change air filters. 5. Power wash your driveway and sidewalks. 6. Wash and stain or reseal your deck. 7. Empty out gutters and downspouts. 8.
