Living at the shore comes with its share of perks—but also a few familiar end-of-summer annoyances. By September, salt, sand, and worn screens can start to take a toll on your home. A little late-season attention now keeps things comfortable and ready for fall.

Salt air leaves more than just a fresh breeze—it also coats windows, screens, and fixtures with residue that corrodes and dulls surfaces. If your windows or railings look cloudy, it’s not just dirt—it’s salt buildup. Rinsing surfaces with fresh water and swapping out corroded hardware helps prevent long-term damage.

Sand is another constant battle. It sneaks into entryways, clogs drains, and wears down flooring. A deep clean before the cooler months arrive clears out the grit that summer left behind. Shore Handyman can handle everything from drain checks to light repair work so your home is fresh and functional.

And then there are the screens. After a summer of open windows, most homeowners discover a few tears or sagging spots. Replacing or repairing them before winter avoids pests sneaking in during the off-season and ensures a clean start next spring.

It doesn’t take much—just a little end-of-summer upkeep to keep your home looking good and working properly. We’ll handle the small annoyances so you can enjoy fall at the shore without worrying about them.

End-of-summer annoyances are easy to ignore, but they add up fast. Shore Handyman can deep clean, repair screens, replace corroded fixtures, and take care of small maintenance tasks before they turn into big ones. Let us handle the fixes so you can head into fall with peace of mind.
