Happy Mid-January, Florida Homeowners!

As we kick off 2026 in the Sunshine State, it’s the perfect time to get ahead on home maintenance. With our mild winters, focus on keeping your paradise in top shape year-round.

Here’s what to prioritize:

General Maintenance Tips for the Year

 • Inspect Your Roof: Check for any holiday light damage or debris from winter winds.

 • HVAC Tune-Up: Ensure your air conditioning is ready for the heat ahead – schedule a professional check now.

 • Pest Control: Florida bugs don’t hibernate! Refresh your barriers against ants, termites, and more.

 • Landscaping Refresh: Trim palms and shrubs to promote healthy growth before spring blooms.

 • Pool Care: If you have one, balance chemicals and clean filters to avoid issues later.

These simple steps can save you big bucks and headaches down the road!

Getting Ready to List Your Home for Sale?

If selling is on your horizon this year, start preparing now for a smooth process:

 • Boost Curb Appeal: Power wash exteriors, add fresh mulch, and plant colorful flowers.

 • Minor Repairs: Fix leaky faucets, touch up paint, and replace worn fixtures.

 • Declutter & Stage: Clear out personal items to help buyers envision their future.

 • Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Consider solar panels or efficient windows – buyers love eco-friendly features in Florida!

 • Professional Inspection: Get ahead of any surprises with a pre-listing home check.

Making these moves early can increase your home’s value and attract top offers.
