SPRINGTIME HOME MAINTENANCE checklist

CHECK YOUR ROOF: Winter weather can be hard on your roof, so it's important to check for any damage. Look for cracked, missing, or curled shingles, and check for signs of water damage on the ceiling inside your home. If you notice any issues, consider calling in a professional for repairs.

CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS: Your gutters can get clogged with leaves, debris, and ice dams during the winter. Clear out any blockages to prevent water damage to your home's foundation or roof.

CHECK YOUR HVAC SYSTEM: Spring is a great time to have your HVAC system checked and serviced by a professional. Replace your air filters, and make sure your system is running smoothly.

CLEAN YOUR WINDOWS: Clean your windows inside and out to let in more natural light and enjoy the warmer weather. Consider replacing old, inefficient windows with energy-efficient ones to save money on your energy bills.

INSPECT YOUR SIDING: Check your siding for any damage or signs of wear and tear. Power wash or clean it if necessary, and make any necessary repairs.

CHECK YOUR OUTDOOR FAUCETS: Turn on your outdoor faucets and check for leaks or damage. Replace any damaged or worn-out parts to prevent water damage.

CLEAN YOUR DECK OR PATIO: Spring is the perfect time to clean your deck or patio after the winter weather. Sweep or power wash away any debris or dirt, and reseal or stain your deck if necessary.

TEST YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS: Test your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace the batteries if necessary.

TRIM YOUR TREES AND SHRUBS: Trim any overgrown trees and shrubs to keep them from damaging your home's siding or roof. Clear away any debris or fallen branches from your yard.

PREPARE YOUR LAWN AND GARDEN: Rake your lawn to remove any dead leaves or debris, and aerate and fertilize your lawn as needed. Start planting your garden or flower beds with spring blooms.
