Spring Home Maintenance

After a long dark and cold winter, the bright sun and warm winds of the spring are a breath of fresh air! The only downside? All that sunlight helps you see your leaf-filled gutters, cracked sidewalks, and dead plants in the flower beds. Get your home in shape for spring with this checklist!

  1. Examine Roof Shingles:Examine the roof to see if any shingles were lost or damaged under the winter snow and ice.
  2. Check the Gutters:Loose or leaky gutters can cause improper drainage, which can lead to water in your basement or crawlspace during the spring rain.
  3. Inspect the Concrete:Inspect concrete slabs for signs of cracks or movement. Fill cracks with concrete crack filler or silicone caulk, power-wash, and then seal the concrete.
  4. Remove Firewood:Firewood stored near the home for winter should be moved at least 18 inches off the ground and at least 2 feet from the structure.
  5. Check Outside Faucets:Check outside faucets for freeze damage. While you’re at it, check your garden hose for dry rot.
  6. Repair Window Screens:You will want to open the windows to let the fresh air in. Ensure small holes and tears are repaired so bugs don’t get in.
