With warmer temperatures around the corner, now is the time to head outside and spring into action! Tackle these spring home maintenance tasks now and avoid a big repair bill later.
Inspect Siding/Home’s Exterior
Once winter storms have passed, carefully inspect the exterior of your home. If you had an ice dam, leaks or other roof issues during the winter, now is the time to repair any damage it caused.
Check Sprinkler & Irrigation Systems
Checking your sprinklers or irrigation systems in the spring can save water and prevent costly leaks and repairs.
Inspect The Roof
Cold temperatures can take a toll on a roof! Request a professional inspection in the spring to spot any small problems and keep them from turning into big repairs.
Inspect Driveways & Paths
The freezing and thawing of winter are rough on concrete, asphalt and other outdoor materials. Walk around your property to look for visible signs of damage like cracks and breaks.
Check Windows & Window Screens
Make sure no damage would allow pests to get inside.
Check Batteries in Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector
Batteries usually need to be replaced twice a year.
Check & Reseal Exterior Woodwork
Check wood deck, railings and window seals for rot. Replace any damaged pieces. Wood decks, fences, railings, trellises, pergolas, and other outdoor structures will last longer if they’re stained or resealed every year or two.
Clean Patio Furniture
Outdoor furniture can get really dirty over the winter months and now is the time to clean it!
Tune Up Lawn Tools
Sharp tools get the job done. Take your lawn mower and clippers in for sharpening and tuneup before you begin work in your garden.
