Spring is here - don't let the busy season keep you from tackling essential home maintenance! A little upkeep now can save you big headaches later. Save and share this checklist to stay ahead and keep your home in top shape!
APRIL HOME MAINTENANCE
- Prep your air conditioning. Get ahead of the heatwave by removing and either replacing or cleaning filters now. Plan to repeat each month during the season. Turn on the unit to ensure it's blowing cool air.
- Spring yard cleanup. Start by raking up any remaining leaves in the yard that survived the winter. Next, lay down mulch in your flower beds and beneath hedges to protect plants from the summer drought, and to keep weeds at bay. Turn your outside faucets and sprinklers back on and check for damage.
- Reseed the lawn. Fill in bald patches before the summer heat. Later in the spring, when the grass turns bright green again, you'll want to fertilize to promote healthy growth.
- Clean the gutters. Gutters and downspouts should be cleaned twice a year, so we'll remind you again the the fall. For now, clear away any debris that may have collected during the winter to ensure that any last spring rain can flow freely away from your home's foundation.
