Here are the top 5 Home Maintenance tips for May:
- Prepare your lawn and garden for summer. May is a great time to dethatch your lawn, aerate it, and spread a fresh layer of compost or mulch. You can also start planting warm-season vegetables and flowers.
- Prepare your outdoor plumbing for summer: With warmer weather approaching, it's important to ensure your outdoor plumbing is ready for use. Turn on your hose bibs and sprinkler systems to check for leaks or bursts. Inspect for any cracks or damage in hoses and replace if necessary.
- Clean your gutters. With spring showers winding down, it's important to clean out any leaves, debris, or clogs from your gutters. This will help to prevent rainwater from backing up and causing damage to your roof or foundation.
- Give your deck or patio a once-over. May is a great time to clean and seal your deck or patio. This will help to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan.
- Inspect and service your air conditioner. As the weather starts to heat up, you'll want to make sure your air conditioner is in good working order. Have a qualified technician inspect and service your unit to ensure it's running efficiently.
