June Home Maintenance Checklist
Check Gutters and Downspouts
Spring may be over, but summer storms can still cause drainage issues. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear and move water away from your home’s foundation. Good drainage protects your roof, siding, and basement from water damage.
Inspect Your Roof
Stand on the ground and look for missing shingles, damaged flashing, or other signs of wear on your roof. Catching problems early can stop small issues from turning into big repairs during summer storms.
Before it gets too hot, check that your air conditioner is working well. Change or clean the filters, remove any debris from the outdoor unit, and think about booking a professional tune-up. Taking care of your system now can lower energy bills and help avoid surprise breakdowns.
Refresh Landscaping
Trim shrubs and tree branches away from your house, pull weeds, and check your garden for pests or disease. Keeping up with landscaping makes your home look better and helps protect its exterior.
Winter and spring can be tough on outdoor areas. Look over your decks, railings, fences, and patios for loose boards, cracks, rot, or other damage. Fixing small problems now can save you from bigger, more expensive repairs later.
Clean and Inspect Exterior Surfaces
Walk around your property and look for peeling paint, cracked siding, damaged trim, or loose bricks. Fixing small issues now helps protect your home from weather damage.
Test Safety Devices
Put fresh batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and test each one to make sure they work. Summer is also a good time to check your fire extinguishers and go over emergency plans with your family.
Tackle Small Repairs
It’s easy to put off fixing loose cabinet handles, sticking doors, torn screens, or dripping faucets. June is a great time to finish these small jobs before they turn into bigger problems.
