Maintenance Tasks: June
Clean and seal decks. Ideally, you'll need three consecutive
warm, sunny days. On day one, dry out the deck. Apply deck
cleaner and scrub the deck on the second day and let it dry 24
hours. On the third day, apply deck sealer.
Hire a certified chimney sweep to inspect and clean
chimneys. Doing this task now instead of the fall allows plenty
of time for repairs before the next heating season. It's also
easier to schedule a sweep.

Wash the exterior of your house, using ordinary garden hose
pressure and a mild detergent. Beware of the pressure washers --
they are powerful enough to force water under the siding where
it may encourage mildew and rot.
Caulk exterior joints around window and doors.

Clean lint from the entire clothes dryer vent system, from
the dryer to the exterior vent cap.
