Warm summer weather provides an ideal window to complete outdoor home maintenance tasks before the season ends. Repair or replace damaged window screens to keep insects out and maintain ventilation; small tears can use patch kits while larger holes require new screen material, spline, and a screen rolling tool. Inspect and repair exterior siding and repaint to prevent water infiltration that can cause rot and structural issues. Walk around the home to identify cracks, peeling paint, or loose siding and address them promptly. Inspect the roof from the ground or with safe ladder use, as roof damage can lead to leaks and interior water damage.
Damaged window screens might seem like a small detail for a new homeowner, but they play a big role when it comes to keeping your home comfortable and insect-free. They also help with ventilation, allowing fresh air to circulate while keeping pests outside - something you'll appreciate on warm summer nights. Fixing them now allows you to let fresh air into your home while keeping at bay.
DIY window screen repair tip: If you don't know how to repair a window screen, there isn't too much to it. For small tears, a screen repair patch kit can get the job done. For larger holes or tears, you can buy new screen material and spline, and replace the entire screen yourself with a screen rolling tool.
