As the summer sun shines over Denver, it’s the perfect time to give your home a seasonal check-up. Consider creating a Seasonal Home Maintenance Checklist to ensure everything is covered during the warmer months. Summer is not just about barbecues and vacations—it’s also a crucial time to maintain and protect your biggest investment: your home.
At New Windows for America, we know how important it is to keep your windows, siding, entry doors, patio doors, and storm doors in peak condition. We’ve put together the ultimate checklist for summer home maintenance to help you stay ahead of issues and keep your home looking great and performing even better.
Inspect Your Home’s Windows
Your windows are more than just a view, they play a major role in your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and curb appeal. Adding them to your summer maintenance checklist is vital.
Here’s what to check this summer:
- Cracked glass or broken seals? These can lead to energy loss and fogging.
- Drafts or leaks? Feel for airflow or moisture around the edges.
- Hard to open or close? This could be a sign of warping or old hardware.
- Faded frames or peeling paint? UV rays and weather can break down finishes over time.
Pro Tip: If your windows are outdated or inefficient, it should definitely be on your summer home checklist to schedule a window replacement. Our energy-efficient windows help keep your home cooler and lower your utility bills!
Examine Your Siding for Damage or Deterioration
Your home’s siding is its first line of defense against the elements, and the summer heat, hail, and storms in Denver can take a toll.
What to look for:
- Cracks, holes, or loose panels? These could let moisture and pests in.
- Faded or blistered paint? This is a clear sign your siding needs replacing or updating.
- Warping or buckling? This is often caused by poor ventilation or moisture.
Pro Tip: Replacing your siding not only boosts curb appeal but also improves insulation and resale value. Ask us about durable, low-maintenance options available in modern colors and textures.
Check Entry Doors and Patio Doors
Your doors need to be secure, energy-efficient, and weather-resistant, especially during summer storms and high heat. Inspecting them is essential for any comprehensive home maintenance checklist.
Things to check:
- Weatherstripping damage? Replace to stop air leaks and bugs.
- Sticky locks or hinges? Lubricate and tighten any loose parts.
- Warped wood or dented panels? Consider upgrading for better performance and appearance.
Pro Tip: A beautiful new entry door can transform your home’s look while improving insulation and security. Our fiberglass and steel door options offer both style and strength.
Inspect Storm Doors
Storm doors are often overlooked but play a key role in airflow, energy efficiency, and protecting your main doors. Including storm doors in your checklist ensures your home maintenance is thorough.
Inspect for:
- Tears in screens or broken glass panels
- Loose handles or hinges
- Poor fit or gaps around the frame
Pro Tip: Add or replace a storm door for increased ventilation, added security, and storm protection. Many of our options come with retractable screens and energy-efficient glass!
Clean and Maintain for Curb Appeal
Once your inspection is done, give your home a little TLC to complete your summer home maintenance checklist:
- Wash your windows inside and out for a clear, streak-free view.
- Clean siding with a soft brush or pressure washer (on low setting).
- Lubricate door hinges and clean hardware for a fresh look.
- Touch up paint where needed to protect exposed surfaces from sun and rain.
