Summer Home Maintenance Checklist for Central Oregon Homeowners
Essential Summer Home Maintenance Tasks Every Central Oregon Homeowner Should Tackle
 
Summer is one of the best times to protect your investment and prepare your home for the months ahead.
 
Whether you've owned your home for years or recently purchased a property, regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and preserve your home's value.
1. Prepare for Wildfire Season
Wildfire preparedness is especially important throughout Central Oregon.
 
Create defensible space by:
  • Removing dry vegetation
  • Trimming trees and shrubs
  • Cleaning roofs and gutters
  • Moving combustible materials away from structures
 
2. Inspect Your Irrigation System
Water is a valuable resource, especially during the dry summer months.
 
Check for:
  • Broken sprinkler heads
  • Leaks
  • Uneven coverage
  • Incorrect timer settings
3. Service Your Cooling System
Before temperatures climb, inspect your HVAC system.
 
Simple maintenance includes:
  • Replacing filters
  • Cleaning vents
  • Scheduling professional service if needed
 
4. Evaluate Decks and Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor living is a major part of life in Central Oregon.
 
Inspect:
  • Deck boards
  • Railings
  • Outdoor lighting
  • Patio furniture
5. Check Your Roof and Exterior
Winter weather can take a toll on your home.
 
Look for:
  • Missing shingles
  • Damaged flashing
  • Cracks in siding
  • Areas needing paint or sealant
