Summer Exterior Maintenance Checklist
Warm days and long evenings in Victoria BC make summer the perfect season for exterior maintenance. From roof checks to landscaping updates, a well-planned routine can keep your home looking sharp. Below is a quick checklist to help every nook and cranny look good while preventing minor problems from turning into expensive repairs.
1. Roof and Gutters
Inspect for Damage: Summer storms can still bring high winds. Look for loose shingles or worn flashing.
Gutter Flush: Remove any leftover spring debris so water flows freely during sudden downpours.
2. Siding and Windows
Wash Away Dust: A gentle pressure wash or soft wash clears pollen and grime.
Window Shine: Bright windows not only look good but also invite more natural light indoors.
3. Deck and Patio
Clean Surfaces: Sweep away leaves, then power wash lightly to remove algae.
Seal or Stain: Protect wood surfaces against sun damage and frequent use.
4. Lawn and Landscaping
Mow and Edge: Keep grass trimmed, and edge sidewalks for a crisp appearance.
Garden Beds: Weeding and mulching prevent overgrowth and lock in moisture.
