Five Ways to Get Your Home Ready for Summer Weather

Get Your Space Ready for Summer After Spring Storms

After months of unpredictable spring rain, summer is finally within reach. But those early-season storms may have left behind more than puddles – they might’ve taken a toll on the items in your garage, shed, or backyard.

As the weather shifts, now’s the perfect time to assess, prep, and protect your space so it’s ready for sunny days ahead.

  1. Check the Damage Wet boxes, rusty furniture, or waterlogged outdoor gear? Moisture can quietly ruin items stored in garages or basements. If anything’s past saving, clear it out now before it starts attracting mildew.
  2. Reclaim Your Outdoor Space From broken patio sets to cracked planters or old kids' toys, outdoor clutter has a way of multiplying. Start fresh by taking stock of what’s actually usable and safe. Clear out what’s worn out so you can fully enjoy your yard, deck, or patio all summer long.
  3. Get Storm-Ready (Before It’s Too Late) Summer storms can strike fast. Remove loose items around the yard, secure outdoor furniture, and clear out anything blocking drainage areas. That junk pile in the side yard? It might be time to say goodbye before it creates a bigger problem.
  4. Prep the Garage or Shed This is a great time to declutter storage areas that tend to become the “rain catchers.” Not only will it protect your stuff from weather damage, but it also makes finding things, like beach chairs, gardening tools, or bikes, easier when the sun does come out.
  5. Dispose Responsibly As you sort, consider how to responsibly dispose of unwanted items. Whether you recycle, donate, or call in a service for larger loads, it feels good knowing your cleanup supports a cleaner, greener summer.
