Keep Your Home Safe and Efficient This Summer: A Seasonal Maintenance Checklist for Eastside Homeowners

As summer sets in across Woodinville, Redmond, Kirkland, and the Eastside, it’s the perfect time for homeowners to take stock of their property. Between the warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, summer offers the best conditions to tackle essential home maintenance projects that boost curb appeal, prevent costly repairs, and make your living space more comfortable.

At Highend Handyman, we help Eastside homeowners get their homes in top shape for the season. Whether you’re preparing to host guests, rent your home, or simply enjoy the sunshine, this summer checklist will help you cover the basics, and beyond.

1. Inspect and Repair Decks, Railings, and Stairs

Winter weather can take a toll on wood surfaces. Start your summer maintenance by checking for:

• Loose or cracked deck boards

• Rusty or wobbly railings

• Soft spots or sagging steps

We provide quick, high-quality deck and exterior stair repairs so your outdoor spaces are safe and summer-ready.

2. Clean and Service Your HVAC System

A dirty or neglected HVAC system works harder and costs more to run.
We recommend:

• Replacing air filters

• Cleaning vents and ducts

• Checking for leaks or unusual noises

• Installing a smart thermostat to control cooling costs efficiently

Ask us about integrating a smart home climate system this summer.

3. Check Windows and Doors for Leaks or Damage

Leaky windows and doors let hot air in and cool air out.

Check for:

• Cracked caulking

• Broken seals or panes

• Misaligned doors

• Drafts around entryways

We’ll re-seal, realign, or replace as needed to keep your home energy efficient.

4. Inspect Trim, Fascia, and Siding for Damage or Infestation

Summer is a critical time to assess the exterior surfaces of your home for issues that may have developed over the winter or spring.

Look closely at:

• Wood trim and fascia boards for soft spots, warping, or peeling paint

• Siding edges and seams for discoloration, gaps, or visible deterioration

• Entry doors, garage doors, and window frames for signs of water damage or pest intrusion

Unchecked moisture and pest issues can lead to costly structural repairs down the line. At Highend Handyman, we handle minor repairs before they become major headaches. Replacing rotted boards, sealing gaps, and restoring your home’s exterior to peak condition.

5. Upgrade or Replace Outdoor Lighting

Longer nights call for safer, more enjoyable outdoor lighting.
Summer lighting services we offer include:

• Replacing outdated or broken fixtures

• Installing motion-sensor or dusk-to-dawn lights

• Adding string lights, path lights, or porch lighting

Let us install lighting that boosts both security and atmosphere.

6. Examine Faucets, Hoses, and Outdoor Spigots

Undetected leaks can cause water damage and high utility bills.
Check for:

• Leaks around hose bibs

• Rust or corrosion

• Water pooling near the foundation

We repair or replace damaged spigots and hoses, fast.

7. Power Wash Siding, Driveways, and Walkways

A good power wash can breathe new life into your property.

We clean:

• Moldy siding

• Moss-covered walkways

• Oil-stained driveways

• Dirty patio furniture

Great for homeowners prepping to sell or rent!

8. General Repairs You’ve Been Putting Off

Summer’s the season to finally tackle those nagging tasks:

• Squeaky doors

• Loose handrails

• Broken screens

• Damaged trim or baseboards

• TV mounting or shelf installs

Knock them out now and enjoy a smoother season ahead.
