End-of-Summer Home Refresh Checklist: Soaking Up the Season
There’s a special kind of magic in late summer—long sunny evenings, warm breezes, and time spent relaxing right at home. At Covey Homes, we believe your space should be a warm, welcoming sanctuary that simplifies your everyday routines, letting you spend less time searching and more time truly enjoying life with the people and pets who matter most.
Whether you’re enjoying a pet-friendly townhome in Boiling Springs, SC, relaxing near the coast in Summerville, SC, or enjoying vibrant local charm in Dawsonville, GA or Buda, TX, this quick end-of-summer refresh checklist will help you savor every remaining moment of the sunny season.
1. Optimize Your Smart Home Controls
Keep your living space cool and energy-efficient during peak summer heat. Use your built-in smart technology package to schedule your digital thermostat directly from the Covey Homes mobile app. Pre-cooling your home before coming back from a sunny day at the pool ensures maximum comfort while optimizing your energy usage.
2. Spruce Up Your Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Late summer is all about effortless indoor-outdoor living. Sweep off your private patio or entryway, wipe down outdoor seating, and refresh your open-concept living area with bright textiles that capture the summer light. Polishing your kitchen island countertops gives you a clean, open setup perfect for serving iced drinks and summer snacks to friends and neighbors.
3. Keep Pets Cool and Comfortable
Warmer days mean extra shedding and outdoor fun! Keep your furry friends happy by grooming them regularly and resetting their favorite indoor resting spots. Because our purpose-built neighborhoods are proudly pet-friendly without strict weight restrictions, take full advantage of our private yard spaces and community pet parks for morning and evening play sessions.
4. Let Maintenance Take Care of the Rest

Thanks to our comprehensive Live MORE Bundle, routine maintenance, pest control, and professional landscaping are handled seamlessly for you.
