🏠 August Home Tips: Get Ahead Before Fall

Prep your space for the transition into fall with these helpful home projects:

Indoor Projects:

Declutter closets & storage areas—especially if you’re hosting guests or using your lake home seasonally
Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
Deep clean windows & window tracks
Touch up paint or caulking inside—especially baseboards, bathrooms, and doors
Change HVAC filters & clean vents to keep things cool and efficient

Outdoor Projects:

Inspect & secure dock hardware—ladders, cleats, cables, and bumpers after a busy summer
Trim trees & shrubs around the house, especially near siding and gutters
Check gutters & downspouts for storm debris or summer buildup
Refresh mulch or rock in landscaping for strong curb appeal
Wipe down siding, windows, and railings to clear summer pollen and grime

Want personalized advice, local contractor recommendations, or just curious about the market? I’m always happy to help. Whether you’re planning to stay for the season or dreaming of something new—I’m just a message away.

Until next time—enjoy every sunset and second of lake life this August!
