Home maintenance tips for spring

1. Check windows and doors for drafts or damage.

Inspect all doors, windows, and frames for any signs of wear and tear. Make sure that seals are secure, weather stripping is intact, and insulation is in place. If necessary replace weather stripping to prevent air leaks from occurring.

2. Clean gutters/downspouts and check chimney condition.

Remove leaves and debris from the gutters before it obstructs the flow of water away from your home’s foundation. Also inspect your chimney for cracks or missing mortar; if there’s any visible damage make sure to have a professional repair it soon as possible before it becomes a problem during the winter months.

3. Service HVAC system/check insulation.

Have your HVAC system serviced annually to ensure its efficiency and performance, as well as for safety purposes. Make sure that all filters are replaced on a regular basis and inspect the ducts for any damages or leaks. Additionally, check the attic’s insulation levels; you may need to add more insulation to prevent heat loss in the winter months.

4. Inspect the roof and siding for damage.

Check your roof and siding for any signs of deterioration such as shingles that have come loose or missing pieces of siding. Repair any visible damaged areas with new materials before it becomes a bigger problem down the road.

5. Wash windows and screens to remove dirt, dust, debris, pollen, and other contaminants.

By cleaning your windows and screens now you can enjoy a brighter home throughout the summer months.

 Spring is the perfect time to inspect and maintain your home. Taking care of these simple tasks now can help prevent costly repairs down the road. For any projects that are too large for you to tackle yourself, make sure to contact a professional for assistance with completing them properly. Doing so will ensure that your house remains in top condition all year round!
