Summer Hone Maintenance Tips for Your Indianapolis Home

🏡 Summer Home Maintenance Tips for Your Indianapolis Home

Summer in Indianapolis means longer days, warmer weather, and the perfect opportunity to tackle those home maintenance tasks that help protect your biggest investment—your home! Whether you’re settling in for the season or thinking ahead to selling, a little upkeep now can save you money and stress later. Here are a few summer home tips tailored for central Indiana homeowners:

1. Service Your A/C System
Indy summers can be hot and humid, so make sure your air conditioning is ready for the season. Change your air filter, clean around your unit, and schedule a professional check-up. A well-running system keeps you cool and helps your home run more efficiently.

2. Check for Storm Damage
With Indiana’s summer thunderstorms, it’s important to inspect your roof and gutters for damage or debris. Clear out downspouts and check for any leaks to avoid future water issues.

3. Freshen Up Outdoor Spaces
Decks, patios, and fences often take a beating over the winter. Power wash surfaces, seal wood, and repair any damage. This boosts both your curb appeal and your enjoyment of outdoor living spaces.

4. Windows & Screens
A clean window lets in that beautiful Hoosier sunshine! Wash windows and screens to brighten your home and keep it feeling fresh—especially important if you’re considering listing your property.

5. Spruce Up Landscaping
Keep your lawn trimmed and tidy, pull weeds, and consider adding some native plants or fresh mulch. Good landscaping adds value and makes a great first impression—whether you’re hosting a BBQ or a showing.

Keeping up with seasonal maintenance is key to preserving your home’s value in the Indianapolis market. And if you’re curious how these updates could help you sell faster or for more, I’d love to chat. Let’s make your home summer-ready—and market-ready too, if the time is right!
