Caring For Your Home: Summer Maintenance Tips

May 9, 2025

Summer in Coastal Carolina is the perfect time to enjoy sunshine and sea breezes—and make sure your home is in top shape for the season. Regular maintenance not only protects your investment but also ensures your home stays efficient and comfortable year-round. Here are a few simple summer tips to keep your Trusst-built home looking and performing its best:

1. Check Your HVAC System

Before those hot days hit hard, make sure your HVAC is running efficiently. Replace air filters, clean vents, and consider scheduling a seasonal service check.

2. Inspect Exterior Paint & Caulking

Sun and humidity can wear down exterior surfaces. Walk around your home and check for any signs of peeling paint or cracked caulking around windows and doors. Touch-ups now can prevent bigger issues later.

3. Clean Gutters & Downspouts

Summer storms can quickly clog gutters with leaves and debris. Clearing them out helps prevent water damage and keeps rainwater flowing away from your home’s foundation.

4. Power Wash Outdoor Spaces

With a quick power wash, give your driveway, porch, and siding a fresh start. It’s an easy way to boost curb appeal and remove built-up grime from spring pollen and rain.

5. Prepare Your Landscaping

Trim trees and bushes away from your roof and siding to avoid damage. Add fresh mulch and keep the grass mowed regularly to help prevent pests from nesting too close to your home.
