Summer Home Care Tips:

Vacations, golf outings or lounging by the pool may be on your schedule this summer, but save a little time for your home. Relax with the knowledge that your house is ready for summer by taking care of these chores before hitting the links:

1) Trim around outdoor HVAC units. Grass and weeds growing around the units can affect their efficiency and could even cause expensive damage.

2) Inspect your decks. If the wood is beginning to show its age, summer can be a good time to apply a coat of stain or sealant. Take the time to tap down any protruding nails and sand any rough areas to ensure safety throughout the seasons.

3) Check siding. Warm weather is ideal for pressure washing vinyl or fiber cement siding. Pay close attention to each piece of siding as you clean it, looking for cracks, soft spots and any other signs of trouble.

4) Inspect foundation and crawlspace. Look for cracks that may need repair. Check the crawlspace right after a heavy rain to make sure there's no water getting in there.

5) Test lawn irrigation system. If you have an underground lawn irrigation system, leaks in the pipes or connections can cause your water bills to skyrocket. The Environmental Protection Agency offers excellent tips for maintaining your irrigation system.

Winter can be tough on your home -- even if you live in an area that receives little or no snowfall. Here are some springtime homeowner's maintenance items to ensure your home is ready when spring flowers begin to bloom:

1) HVAC checkup. It's a good idea to have your system tuned up before air conditioning season arrives. Always use a trained professional for this. Many companies offer discounts to those who sign maintenance agreements for spring and fall tune-ups.

2) Roof inspection. Winter snow and ice can damage shingles which could lead to leaks. You can inspect your roof with binoculars, but don't go up there. According to the Idaho Associated General Contractors of America, ladder-related injuries send 90,000 people to the emergency room each year. Roof repairs are best left to a qualified contractor.

3) Check gutters. Ice buildup during the winter months can cause gutters to loosen and sag. Gutters that don't drain properly may create drainage issues -- left for a season or two, an unstable gutter can spill enough water to damage the foundation.

4) Inspect sidewalks and driveway. Cracks and buckles caused by freezing temperatures should be repaired before they become a major issue.

5) Check seals around doors and windows. Check for drafts again. Cracked caulking should be touched up to prevent the loss of cooled air all summer
