Summer Home Maintenance Tips

Summer is the perfect time of year to start to be outside in the enjoying the weather and sunshine and maintaining your home. Seasonal maintenance is important because your home can endure a lot over the winter and spring.

Key areas to focus on your home:

• Checking your roof over the summer will be  helpful in finding a tiny problem before it becomes a big one that you can’t be fixed. If you experienced a rough winter, your shingles may need repairs and maintenance as well.
• By cleaning your gutters on a regular schedule you can help prevent clogging and unnecessary leaks. Debris can gather over time from leaves from the fall and grime from the winter snows.
• You also want to make sure you are maintaining the exterior of your home, one of the most effective ways to do so is to pressure wash the siding of your house.
• Maintain your outside deck or porch by ensuring it’s stained or painted on a regular basis so it looks fresh for any summer parties or BBQs! Also, inspect your deck for any signs of rotting or if any sharp nails are poking up.

Make sure you spend enough time working on your home so it’s in the best shape possible! If you suspect a problem with your roof or gutters this summer, contact Burke Roofs at (781) 246-5622 or fill out our contact form online!
