As the days get longer and warmer, June is the perfect time to give your home some TLC. Whether you’re staying put or preparing to sell, a little maintenance now can prevent major headaches later—and keep your home looking its best all summer long.

Here are some smart Dos and Don’ts every homeowner should keep in mind this month:

✅ DO: Inspect and Clean Your A/C System

Summer heat is no joke. Make sure your air conditioning unit is running efficiently by:

Replacing air filters
Cleaning debris from around outdoor units
Scheduling a professional tune-up if it’s been over a year

❌ DON’T: Ignore Drafty Windows or Doors

Warm air seeping in (or cool air leaking out) can drive your energy bill up. Apply weather stripping or caulk any problem areas now, so your home stays cooler for less.

✅ DO: Power Wash Surfaces

Decks, patios, siding, and driveways all benefit from a good wash this time of year. It not only boosts curb appeal but also prevents mold and mildew buildup.

❌ DON’T: Delay Lawn and Garden Care

June is prime growing season. Keep your yard looking great by mowing regularly, trimming hedges, and watering early in the day to minimize evaporation.

✅ DO: Check Your Roof and Gutters

Spring storms may have done some damage. Look for missing shingles or clogged gutters, and get repairs done before summer rainstorms cause issues.

❌ DON’T: Overload Outdoor Outlets

With more time outside comes more gadgets—fans, lights, speakers. Make sure your outlets are safe and not overloaded. If you need more power, hire a licensed electrician to install a new one.

✅ DO: Refresh Exterior Paint

Touch up peeling paint on trim, shutters, and fences. Not only does it keep your home looking polished, it also protects against sun and moisture damage.
