Welcome Spring

Now that the weather is starting to turn for the better and daylight savings time is here, lets look at a few items HGTV has listed to review in your home for maintenance.

Inspect brickwork and stucco.

Replace rotted siding and trim; paint as needed.

Clean gutters and downspouts.

Inspect your roof. Check for damaged shingles, which can make your roof susceptible to leaks.

Get a chimney check-up.

Don’t overlook your attic. Check for proper ventilation, obstructions and leaks.

Check out your heat/air unit; change batteries in detectors. Change filters and clean the air purifier.

 Prune landscaping and create good drainage. Maintain your plants and shrubs to prevent soil erosion.

Give concrete a little TLC. Seal your driveway and power wash.

 Weatherproof your windows and doors. Check all caulk lines and weather stripping; replace screens.
