Now that you have just settled into your new home in Pittsburgh, PA, Pittsburgh movers have tips to prepare your home for summer!

First, you want to make sure you get rid of all leftover packing products you might have from your move. You can throw them out or see if any family or friends are looking for packing products.

Next, you want to start on your exterior. Inspect your roof for broken or missing shingles or tiles and clean out any gutters. If it is too early to start planting flowers, start taking care of the landscaping to prepare it for flowers and plants. Rake away leaves and debris from sidewalks and surrounding areas. If you have a pressure washer, pressure walk the sidewalks and driveway.

It’s summer in Pittsburgh PA, which means summer cleaning! Clean just about everything you can think- this is your chance to get your house sparkling clean again.

After you finish cleaning, you should test out your emergency systems. Most homeowners forget to do run tests regularly. It’s also important to check your home’s HVAC- heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. The fall and summer are great times to do this before harsh weather changes are going to occur. Check that your air filters have been replaced or cleaned too. A good tip: if you need to have a service person look at it now, it will be a lot cheaper than three months from now.
