*ProServNZ's Summer Home Maintenance Tips for Bay of Plenty*

As we dive into the warmer months, make sure your home is summer-ready! Here are the top 10 home maintenance tips for the your Bay of Plenty home:

1. *Clean your gutters*: Leaves and debris can clog gutters, causing water damage. Clear them before the summer rains hit.

2. *Inspect your roof*: Check for damaged, missing, or loose tiles, and repair or replace them to prevent leaks.

3. *Maintain your air-conditioning*: Regularly clean filters and schedule a professional service to ensure efficient cooling.

4. *Prepare your outdoor areas*: With the days getting longer, those summer bbqs are approaching fast. It's time to start thinking about getting your patio and paths washed. Trellis and decking is also important to get treated by a softwash technician.

5. *Pest control*: Keep an eye out for pests like flies, ants, spiders and cockroaches, and call a professional if needed.

6. *Summer-proof your garden*: Mulch, prune, and water wisely to keep your garden thriving.

7. *Check your deck*: Inspect for rot, damage, or loose boards, and reseal or repair as needed.

8. *Check your outdoor painted surfaces*: The harsh NZ sun can easily damage unpainted surfaces, so make sure all cladding is sufficiently painted, and in a clean condition.

9. *Keep your home ventilated*: Ensure good airflow to prevent moisture buildup and reduce the risk of mold.

10. *Schedule a professional inspection*: Get a thorough check-up to identify potential issues before they become major problems.
