Your Texas Summer Home Maintenance Checklist

Written by Kelly Barta

Keeping your home in tip-top shape during our hot Texas summers is key. Here’s a quick checklist to help:
✅ Check and service your A/C
✅ Trim back overgrown trees or shrubs
✅ Clean gutters and inspect your roof after any storms
✅ Check for pests (they love to sneak in when it’s hot!)
✅ Keep an eye on water usage — drought-friendly landscaping is always a plus
Pro tip: Set a reminder to do a mini walk-through of your home monthly — small issues are easier (and cheaper!) to catch early.
