Hot Tips To Survive Summer

As a proud new owner of a recently constructed home, you have the advantage of modern amenities and the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything is brand new. However, even new homes require regular maintenance to ensure longevity and efficiency. Summer is an ideal time to address various tasks that can help maintain your home's pristine condition. Here are some essential summer maintenance tips for new construction homeowners.



1. Inspect and Clean Your HVAC System

Your HVAC system works overtime during the hot summer months to keep your home cool and comfortable. To ensure it operates efficiently, replace or clean the air filters every one to two months. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and force the system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential damage. Additionally, schedule a professional inspection and tune-up to check for any issues that could affect performance. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your HVAC system and prevent costly repairs down the line.



2. Check and Maintain Exterior Features

Summer is the perfect time to inspect the exterior of your home for any signs of wear and tear. Examine the siding, windows, and doors for cracks, gaps, or other damage that could compromise your home's insulation and security. Seal any gaps with caulk to prevent moisture and pests from entering. Additionally, clean and inspect your gutters and downspouts to ensure they are free of debris. Properly functioning gutters direct water away from your foundation, preventing potential water damage.



3. Tend to Your Landscaping

A well-maintained landscape not only enhances your home's curb appeal but also contributes to its overall health. Begin by mowing your lawn regularly and keeping it well-watered, particularly during dry spells. Consider installing a drip irrigation system to conserve water while ensuring your plants receive adequate hydration. Prune trees and shrubs to remove dead or overgrown branches, which can pose a risk to your home during summer storms. Lastly, apply mulch to your flower beds to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping your garden looking lush and vibrant.

Stop Asking For "Cheap" When You Want "Quality"

By Remi Schultz • May 8, 2025
When it comes to remodeling your home, we get it—you want the best for your space. But too often, we see homeowners asking for “cheap” when they really want “quality.” At Hemme Construction, we believe that you shouldn’t have to make that compromise. Remodeling is an investment, and while budget is important, the real question is: What kind of value are you getting for your money?

Why 2025 Is Your Remodel Year

By Remi Schultz • May 6, 2025
As homes across the country continue to age, remodeling is becoming more than just a trend—it's a smart investment. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) , the remodeling market is poised for steady growth over the next several years, driven largely by the increasing age of owner-occupied homes. At Hemme Construction, we’re seeing this trend play out locally as well. More homeowners are turning to remodeling as a way to improve functionality, boost energy efficiency, and modernize outdated spaces without the cost and hassle of moving. And it’s no wonder—NAHB reports that the median age of owner-occupied homes in the U.S. is now over 40 years. That means many homes are in need of upgrades to meet today’s lifestyle and performance expectations.
