As the Texas sun cranks up the heat, your home could go from comfortable to chaotic in days — especially here in Granbury where summer doesn’t mess around.
I’ve seen it all — warped doors, bloated trim, fried AC units, and decks that practically catch fire on contact. If you’re a homeowner in Granbury, this is your no-BS, prioritized game plan for what to fix FIRST before summer gets out of hand.
🛠️ Why Prioritize Home Fixes in Granbury?
Because when it’s 104° and your back porch feels like a pizza oven, the last thing you want to deal with is:
Swollen doors that won’t shut
A dying AC that’s “trying its best”
Gutters growing full-blown ecosystems
Let’s fix the stuff that matters most first — fast, smart, and local-style.
✅ Priority Fix #1: Your A/C Unit and Airflow
Why: A struggling AC in Granbury heat is a recipe for frustration, high bills, and sleepless nights.
Fix It:
Replace filters
Clean vents and condenser coils
Seal leaky windows and doors to hold in the cool
👉 Pro Tip: A simple AC tune-up now beats an emergency call in July that costs $$$.
🪟 Priority Fix #2: Window Seals and Weather-Stripping
Why: Granbury summers bring heat AND humidity — and worn seals invite both inside.
Fix It:
Replace worn weather-stripping
Check caulk lines
🏠 Added Bonus: This helps your energy bill stay reasonable, even when the sun is angry.
🚪 Priority Fix #3: Swelling Doors & Sticking Frames
Why: Texas humidity can warp your wooden doors and frames like a wet sponge.
Fix It:
Shave tight doors
Tighten hinge screws
Touch-up paint and sealing exposed wood
Don’t wait until you’re locked inside your own house. It happens. I’ve seen it.
🧼 Priority Fix #4: Gutters and Downspouts
Why: Summer storms in Granbury = clogged gutters = foundation damage.
Fix It:
Clean all gutters
Extend downspouts
Make sure runoff flows away from your home
💧 Rain’s coming — are your gutters ready?
🪵 Priority Fix #5: Decks, Porches & Fences
Why: Wood gets wrecked in Texas summers — sunbaked, splintered, cracked.
Fix It:
Power wash and reseal
Replace broken boards
Re-secure loose rails or posts
🌞 Nothing’s worse than a BBQ on a deck that wobbles like a trampoline.
🔌 Priority Fix #6: Outdoor Electrical & Lighting
Why: Between storms and the sun, your outdoor wiring can corrode fast.
Fix It:
Check outdoor outlets
Replace damaged light fixtures
Seal any exposed wires
💡 Safety first, especially if kids or pets are around.
