Summer Home Maintenance Checklist: 10 Things to Do Before It’s Too Late

Why Summer Home Maintenance Is About More Than Just Chores

Summer brings BBQs, pool days, and longer evenings — but it also brings heat, humidity, storms, and wear-and-tear on your home’s systems.

Most homeowners don’t prepare until something breaks.
But what if you could stay ahead of the breakdowns and avoid the “surprise expenses” altogether?

That’s the why behind HomeLedger. We’re not just another task list.
We help you maintain peace of mind — and the value of your biggest investment — by keeping track of what matters before it breaks.

✅ Your June Home Maintenance Checklist

Here are 10 things every homeowner should tackle in early summer:

  1. Change HVAC filters (and book an AC tune-up if needed)

  2. Check weatherstripping around doors/windows to keep cool air in

  3. Inspect the roof and gutters after spring storms

  4. Test your irrigation system for leaks or broken heads

  5. Trim trees and shrubs to reduce storm damage risk

  6. Clean and reseal your deck or patio

  7. Flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup

  8. Inspect attic and crawl spaces for pests or moisture
