SPECIAL SAUCE: OUR RECIPE FOR RAVING FANS
As the days grow longer and the temperatures increase, June is an ideal time to give your home some much-needed TLC. Giving your home some love in June prepares you for a relaxing and pleasurable summer. A few hours of maintenance now might save you money on future issues while also making your house more comfortable. From seasonal upkeep to easy additions, here are 9 sensible things you can do this month to keep your house in tip-top form and ready for summer activities.
Service Your Air Conditioning
Gone are the days of scattered gadgets. In 2025, homeowners want seamless smart home ecosystems. That means voice-activated lighting and climate control, smart appliances that optimize energy use, and integrated security systems with facial recognition. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about creating a home that’s intuitive, efficient, and secure.
Inspect and Seal Windows and Doors
Keep cool air in and hot air out by checking the seals around your windows and doors. Apply fresh weather stripping or caulk to reduce energy loss and keep your home comfortable.
Clean and Prep Outdoor Spaces
Your patio, deck, or balcony could probably use a good scrub after winter and spring rains. Pressure wash surfaces, clean furniture, and replace any broken or worn-out items. Add some outdoor string lights or planters to create an inviting space for evening relaxation.
Refresh Your Landscaping
June is a great time to mulch garden beds, trim shrubs, plant heat-tolerant flowers, and give your lawn some TLC. A well-maintained yard boosts curb appeal and creates a pleasant environment for outdoor activities.
Check Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Take a few minutes to test your smoke and CO detectors and replace batteries if needed. It's a quick task that can save lives.
Switch to Lighter Bedding
Swap out heavy blankets and flannel sheets for lighter, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. This simple change can make a big difference in comfort and sleep quality during warm nights.
Clean Out the Garage or Shed
Warm, dry weather is perfect for decluttering storage areas. Donate or recycle what you don’t need and reorganize tools, sports gear, and gardening supplies for easy access.
Wash Windows Inside and Out
Enjoy that bright summer sunshine by washing windows thoroughly. Clear glass makes a big difference in how clean and airy your home feels.
Plan for Summer Projects
June is a great time to start or plan home improvement projects while the weather cooperates. Whether you're repainting a room, updating landscaping, or building a raised garden bed, use this month to lay the groundwork.
