Monthly Home Maintenance - August

Agee & Johnson is bringing you monthly home maintenance tips to keep your home in top condition!

August

Repair Drywall

Drywall can get damaged during the bumps and scrapes of life, but repairs can be a fairly simple DIY job. Scrape away loose debris near small holes and dents, then fill with a fast-drying spackling compound. larger holes may need a drywall patch.

Inspect Hardware

Fix squeaky door hinges, handles, and loose locks. A squirt of WD-40 should do the trick.

Kitchen Clean-Up

It's the heart of your home. If you're not planning a remodel this year, now is the time to show it a little love. Start with deep cleaning appliances (including vacuuming refrigerator coils for the second time this year) and organizing the cupboards. Update the faucet or lighting fixtures if needed, and do a round of touch up painting for the cabinets.
