SPRING HOME MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
Since March marks the start of warmer weather and the potential for residual winter damage, here is a checklist focusing on exterior recovery and system checks.
Inspect the Roof & Gutters: Look for any loose, cracked, or missing shingles from recent weather. Clear out gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage and help prevent water damage.
Check Exterior Faucets: Make sure all exterior faucets are working smoothly and leak-free.
Service the Air Conditioning Unit: Schedule your professional AC maintenance (the “Spring Check-Up”) now before the summer rush begins.
Inspect the Foundation: Look for cracks or areas where the soil has pulled away from the foundation and repair them before they widen.
Check Exterior Paint and Siding: Look for peeling paint or damaged siding that may have occurred due to winter moisture.
Power Wash Hard Surfaces: Clean patio, deck, and walkway surfaces to remove winter grime and mold.
