How to Prep Your Home for a Stress-Free Summer

Warm weather is rolling in here in Spring, Texas, which means it’s time to knock out a few quick tasks before summer’s in full swing. Whether you’re soaking up the longer days or cranking up the A/C, getting ahead of things now means fewer surprises later.

Maison Property Management is your go-to for community-focused property care, helpful seasonal resources, and support that makes homeownership a little easier. We’ve put together this guide to help your home get ready for a stress-free summer!

 

Check and Service the A/C

 

Texas summers are HOT, so make sure your air conditioner is ready to go. Clean your vents, change your filters, and schedule that service visit if it’s been a while. Your future self will thank you!

Another way to make a difference is to flip your ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise, keeping the cool air flowing the way you want it. 

 

Freshen Up Your Outdoor Spaces

 

Summer’s meant to be spent outside, so give your outdoor spaces a quick refresh. Clean patio furniture, test the lights, and swap out old bulbs or batteries. Even a few tweaks like swapping cushions or adding string lights can turn a basic patio into a summer hangout spot.

Before you fire up the grill, double-check the grates, fuel, and safety gear. If you have access to community amenities, take a moment to restock outdoor must-haves like towels, sunscreen, or bug spray so they’re easy to grab on your way out the door.

 

Watch for Water Issues

 

Between summer storms and sprinkler systems, moisture can sneak up on you fast. Take a look around the house and check for soggy soil, puddles by the foundation, or any funky smells near sinks or washers.

Don’t forget to inspect your gutters and downspouts while you’re at it. Catching small issues early can help prevent bigger problems later, especially during Texas’ humid months.

 

Window Prep

 

Let the summer sun shine in! Clean windows brighten up your space and give you a chance to inspect seals around windows and doors. If you have worn-out seals around doors and windows, don’t worry. They’re easy to overlook and even easier to fix! You’ll feel the difference, and so will your energy bill.
