From Your Local Handyman Experts
As the temperatures rise and the rain arrives in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and the surrounding areas of Florida, now is the perfect time to tackle essential home maintenance tasks that will keep your property running smoothly and avoid costly repairs down the road. Our handyman team put together a quick checklist to help you get started:
1. Check and Service Your A/C Unit
With summer heat just around the corner, your air conditioner will be working overtime. Replace the filters, clean around the unit, and consider scheduling a professional tune-up to ensure efficient cooling all season long. Don’t forget to clean out your discharge line as that is a main cause of not staying cool!
2. Inspect Windows and Doors
Look for any cracks, worn weather stripping, or gaps where cool air might escape or water trickles inside. Sealing up these spots can lower your energy bills and keep your home more comfortable.
3. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Florida storms can clog gutters fast. Remove leaves, twigs, and debris to prevent water from backing up and damaging your roof or foundation. Check those downspouts to ensure they are secure and run away from the house.
4. Test Outdoor Faucets and Irrigation Systems
Check for leaks, clogs, or broken sprinkler heads. Efficient watering is key to keeping your lawn and landscaping healthy in the summer heat.
5. Pressure Wash Surfaces
Mildew, pollen, and grime build up quickly in humid weather. A good pressure washing of your driveway, patio, and house exterior will freshen up your home’s curb appeal.
6. Check for Pests
Warmer weather and rain means insects and rodents are on the move. Inspect your home’s exterior for entry points and seal them up. If you spot signs of infestation, take action early.
