Keeping your home in top condition requires ongoing care and attention, especially as the seasons change. At My Las Vegas Handyman, we understand the importance of proactive maintenance to preserve your home’s value, comfort, and efficiency throughout the year.
Spring: Renewal and Preparation
As nature awakens from its winter slumber, spring is the perfect time to rejuvenate your home and prepare for the warmer months ahead.
- Inspect your roof for damage, missing shingles, or signs of wear and tear. Repair or replace damaged areas to prevent leaks and water damage.
- Clean gutters and downspouts to remove debris and ensure proper drainage away from your home’s foundation.
- Service your HVAC system, including air conditioning units and ductwork, to ensure optimal performance and efficiency during the summer months.
- Check and repair caulking and weatherstripping around windows and doors to prevent air leaks and improve energy efficiency.
- Prepare outdoor spaces for enjoyment by cleaning and inspecting decks, patios, and outdoor furniture. Seal or stain wooden surfaces as needed to protect against moisture and UV damage.
Summer: Cooling and Comfort
As temperatures rise, summer is the ideal time to focus on maintaining comfort and efficiency inside your home.
- Clean and service ceiling fans to ensure proper operation and circulation of air throughout your home.
