Warmer temperatures have arrived, and it’s the perfect time to tackle seasonal cleaning and essential home maintenance. Use this checklist to keep your home looking great and running efficiently.
Common Spring Repairs
Roof and Gutters
Inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, and worn flashing. Clean out gutters and downspouts, checking for cracks or leaks.
HVAC System
Schedule a professional HVAC inspection to make sure everything is in working order before the heat of summer arrives. Replace air filters and clear debris from around your outdoor unit.
Windows and Screens
Clean windows and screens, replace worn weather stripping, and seal gaps with caulk to prevent air leaks. Repair or replace any torn screens as needed.
Exterior Paint and Siding
Check your home’s exterior for peeling, cracking, or bubbling paint. Inspect siding and trim for damage or rot, and touch up paint to protect your home from the elements.
Foundation and Driveway
Look for cracks in the foundation, walkways, and driveway. Small cracks can often be repaired yourself, while larger issues may require a professional. Make sure the ground slopes away from your home to avoid water buildup.
Outdoor Spaces
Refresh your deck or patio with a thorough cleaning. Repair loose boards, cracked pavers, and replace any rotting wood. Also, make sure your lawn mower and other outdoor equipment are in working order.
