Maintenance Tips: Getting Your House Summer Ready

As the warmer season finally arrives, spring cleaners are clearing out their homes and weekend warriors all over New Zealand are preparing for annual home maintenance. It’s much more comfortable to do exterior repairs and building improvements in the warm summer air - paint dries faster, and home improvements are that much easier in fine weather.

For building owners entering into contracts with building reports specialists and home improvement companies, summer is a great opportunity. This is usually when repairs and improvements are planned for the year, and if you miss out, many industry professionals will advise waiting until the next summer season. In order to make the most of Summer, many homeowners lay the groundwork in Spring – planning ahead makes it easier to allocate time to interior and exterior repairs.

Spring is perfect for making plans to paint a porch, or repair gutters and shingles that are damaged and require replacement. Many homeowners find that during this springtime planning phase they uncover more work that needs to be done, and this is another reason that thinking ahead before beginning summer maintenance is valuable.

In order to clear out a home in preparation for a summer, a homeowner needs to be able to operate without constantly accounting for wet-weather. Wet-weather months are suited to staying indoors, hence why Summer is the season to get a lot of things done—celebrate, renovate, and prepare for the coming year.
