Exterior and Roof
Inspect siding, trim, and caulk for damage or gaps. Clean gutters and downspouts and make sure they are secure. Rhode Island rain and heavy storms can overwhelm clogged or loose gutters. Check the roof for missing or damaged shingles and have problems fixed before fall and winter.
HVAC and Ventilation
If you have central air, replace or clean filters and consider a professional tune-up. Ensure outdoor units are clear of debris and vegetation. Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans help control humidity; run them during and after use and confirm they vent to the exterior.
Decks, Patios, and Outdoor Structures
Check deck boards and railings for rot or loose fasteners. Clean and reseal or stain wood decks as needed. Look at pergolas, sheds, and other structures for stability and weather damage. Addressing small issues now avoids costly repairs and keeps outdoor spaces safe for the rest of the season.
