☀️ It’s Not If Summer Hits Hard in Granbury – It’s When
Let’s be honest. Texas summers aren’t just hot—they’re brutal. And if you’re a homeowner in Granbury, Texas, you know what’s coming:
🔥 Scorching heat
💨 Sudden hailstorms
🐜 Fire ant invasions
💦 Skyrocketing utility bills
I’m Aaron Nolan, founder of The Honey Do Daddy, your go-to handyman in Granbury, and I’ve seen what a Texas summer can do to unprepared homes.
I put together this Granbury Homeowner Survival Guide to help you protect your home, your wallet, and your peace of mind before it’s too late.
🔧 The Top 10 Must-Fix Items Before Summer Hits in Granbury
1. Get Your A/C in Shape
Your HVAC system is your best friend from May to September.
✅ Clean your vents
✅ Check for leaks in your ductwork
🔧 Bonus: Schedule a pro-tune-up before everyone else books up.
2. Inspect the Roof and Gutters
Granbury hailstorms don’t ask for permission.
✅ Look for loose or missing shingles
✅ Check for soft spots or signs of sagging
3. Seal the Cracks – Windows & Doors
A leaky home = higher bills and unwelcome bugs.
✅ Fix any broken screens
4. Prep Your Lawn Equipment
It’s time to get that mower and trimmer ready.
✅ Sharpen blades
✅ Change oil and clean air filters
✅ Test the spark plug
5. Check Fences and Decks
That heat dries out wood fast.
✅ Look for splinters, cracks, and wobbly boards
✅ Remove fire ant mounds nearby
6. Test Smoke Alarms & Safety Gear
✅ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
✅ Replace old batteries
✅ Review emergency plans with your family
7. Inspect Exterior Paint & Siding
Faded, cracked paint = exposed siding = expensive problems.
✅ Pressure wash mold or dirt
✅ Touch-up paint
✅ Repair or replace warped siding
8. Tame the Garage & Attic
These are hot zones in the summer.
✅ Insulate the garage door
✅ Declutter (yes, toss that mystery box from 2011)
✅ Install a fan to keep air moving
9. Check Sprinklers & Drainage
Avoid dead spots and foundation damage.
✅ Adjust sprinkler heads
✅ Check for leaks
✅ Clear out French drains and gutters
10. Prevent Summer Pests
Texas bugs don’t play.
✅ Use safe pest deterrents
✅ Clear out nests from eaves and attics
