Summer in Texas means longer days, backyard barbecues, and… a long to-do list to keep your home in its best condition. Whether you’re a homeowner or a property manager, preventative upkeep during the hot months can help avoid costly repairs later and keep your property looking pristine.
At Powerhouse, we specialize in helping Texas homes and multifamily properties stay clean, safe, and beautiful year-round. Here are our top summer maintenance tips to keep your property in top shape.
1. Inspect and Clean the Gutters
Clogged gutters can cause water damage, especially after summer storms. Make sure they’re clear of leaves, twigs, and debris. Look for signs of sagging or rust and repair as needed.
Pro tip: Add gutter guards to reduce future buildup.
2. Check for Pest Issues
Warm weather brings out unwanted guests like ants, roaches, and termites. Inspect your property for signs of infestations and seal up entry points.
Schedule a seasonal pest control service to keep your property protected all summer long.
3. Tidy Up the Landscaping
Overgrown shrubs and trees not only look messy—they can damage siding and attract pests. Trim branches, mow regularly, and refresh mulch to keep everything neat and nourished.
4. Inspect the Roof
Summer sun and storms can take a toll on your roof. Look for missing shingles, cracks, or soft spots. Early detection can prevent major leaks and structural issues.

5. Clean and Seal Decks or Outdoor Furniture
Heat and UV rays can cause wood and outdoor materials to crack or fade. Wash and reseal decks, and clean or cover furniture when not in use.
8. Check Exterior Paint and Siding
Paint not only makes your home look fresh—it protects it from the elements. Touch up peeling or faded areas, and repair damaged siding before it worsens.
