Home Maintenance Tips -
Repair the Ravages of Winter
As Spring approaches, keep these tips to freshen the outside of your home.
- Prune your trees and shrubs.
- Head to the shed and do a “tool inventory” to make sure you have all the items you'll need in the months ahead. Inspect the tools you already have. For example, test your hoses for leaks.
- Spring is a good time to paint fences and the exterior of your home, especially wood surfaces, to protect them from summer heat and sun. Wood decks should also be sealed once a year.
- Now that the heating season is over, have a chimney sweep clean fireplaces and flues.
- Inspect door and window screens for tears. You can often repair small tears using a kit from your local hardware store. This will prevent insects from getting into your home, and keep you comfortable on the screened porch.
- Have your gutters cleaned.
