Breckenridge Realtors Tip: August Projects
Although summer is coming to a close, there are still plenty of days left to celebrate the warm weather. August can be a perfect time to accomplish a few important outdoor projects. As a Breckenridge Realtor, I have seen homeowners struggle with this list, so here are a few tips you can use to ensure your property remains in wonderful condition this summer and beyond. 
Deck Maintenance
During the summer months, your deck is put through a lot of wear and tear. From outdoor parties to storms, it’s logical that there could be some minor issues by the time the season comes to an end.
The good news is that you can protect the surface without extraordinary expense. By sweeping, hosing off debris and checking for loose boards, you’ll add new life to your deck. Also, don’t forget to give the deck a coat of stain and sealer if you see the finish needs work. Taking the time to maintain your deck during the warm weather will ensure that it is in good shape for the colder temperatures to come.
Air Conditioner Cleaning
Hot temperatures make your air conditioner run on overdrive. However, if you give this unit a little tender loving care, you’d be surprised at its improved performance. That being said, it’s essential to change out the filter and clean the condenser fan on a regular basis. It’s also a good idea to make sure snow and ice won’t get into the unit during the winter. If that’s a possibility, it’s time to dig out that cover so it’s ready to protect the unit this fall and winter.
Complete Final Summer Projects
Before the fall finally arrives, you might have some lingering outdoor projects in the works. Now is the time to bring them to a close. Whether you need to fix a squeaky door hinge or repaint the front porch, don’t delay. You’ll feel better knowing your home is in great shape just in time for the upcoming season.
