☀️ Georgia summers are no joke. Heat, humidity, and pop-up storms can push your home to its limits. Tackle these seven essentials now to avoid mid-season breakdowns and surprise repair bills.

1) Schedule an HVAC Tune-Up

Clogged filters and dirty coils make your system work overtime. A quick HVAC service keeps the cool air flowing efficiently and helps prevent costly breakdowns.

2) Inspect Roof & Flashing

Thunderstorms + aging shingles = leaks. Book a roof inspection to spot lifted shingles, cracked flashing, and weak spots before the next downpour. 🌧️

3) Refresh Exterior Paint & Trim

UV rays fade paint and dry out trim. A targeted exterior paint touch-up protects wood and boosts curb appeal.

4) Seal Doors & Windows

Drafty gaps waste energy. Re-caulk frames, replace brittle weatherstripping, and check thresholds to keep cool air inside.

5) Check Outdoor Plumbing

Inspect hose bibs, sprinkler lines, and hoses for leaks or corrosion. Small fixes now prevent water waste and landscape damage.

6) Clean & Seal Decks

Humidity invites rot. Pressure wash and re-seal decks every 12–24 months to extend life and prevent splinters. 🪵

7) Clean Dryer Vents & Fans

Reduce fire risk and improve air circulation by clearing lint buildup and dusting ceiling fan blades.
