Spring Into Action This March

Winter can be harsh on your home, even in areas with minimal snowfall. The changing season is the perfect time to inspect, repair, and refresh your home to ensure it stays in top shape all year long. Follow this spring maintenance checklist to protect your home and get it ready for the warmer months ahead.

1. Inspect and Refresh Door & Window Seals

Cracked caulking around doors and windows can lead to energy inefficiency, allowing cool air to escape during the hotter months. Check for gaps or damage and apply fresh caulking as needed. This simple step helps improve insulation and reduces energy costs.

2. Schedule an HVAC Checkup

Don’t wait until the first hot day of the year to realize your air conditioning isn’t working efficiently. Schedule a professional HVAC inspection to ensure your system is tuned up and ready to keep your home comfortable all summer. Regular maintenance can also extend the life of your system and improve indoor air quality.

3. Assess Trees and Landscaping

If you have trees on your property, a professional inspection can identify potential hazards such as diseased or dead branches. Catching these issues early can prevent damage to your home, vehicles, or neighboring properties. Additionally, pruning trees encourages healthy growth and enhances curb appeal.

4. Revitalize Your Lawn and Garden

Spring is the ideal time to reseed your lawn, fill in bald patches, and plant new perennials. Make sure your garden gets ample water in the early months to establish strong root systems. When the grass begins to green and lilacs start to bloom, it’s time for fertilization to encourage lush, healthy growth.

5. Clean and Inspect Gutters

Clogged gutters can lead to serious drainage issues, including water damage to your foundation, siding, and landscaping. Ensure that gutters and downspouts are free from debris and properly directing water away from your home. Installing gutter guards can also help prevent future buildup.

6. Wash Away Winter Grime

Dirt and grime can accumulate on your home’s exterior, potentially damaging paint and masonry over time. Choose a dry day to wash your house, clean your windows (inside and out), and remove storm windows. A fresh, clean home exterior enhances both durability and curb appeal.

7. Inspect Your Roof and Siding

Winter weather can take a toll on your roof and siding. Look for loose or missing shingles, cracks, or signs of water damage. Addressing small issues early can prevent costly repairs down the road. If needed, consult a professional for a more thorough inspection.

8. Prepare Outdoor Spaces for Use

As the weather warms up, get your outdoor spaces ready for enjoyment. Clean and inspect your deck, patio, and outdoor furniture. Power wash surfaces, check for necessary repairs, and start planning for outdoor gatherings.
