Spring is almost upon us and you know what that means. It means that you will have to engage in spring maintenance for your home in earnest. This will ensure that your house is in excellent condition for taking on the challenges of summer and its deteriorating factors. These maintenance steps include the following measures:

1.    Cleaning out Gutters:

The gutters are instrumental in protecting one’s home. They remove any excess water that comes down the roof into them. They direct it away from the home and prevent damage from befalling the roof and the home. It is also crucial for protecting your house’s foundation as well. That is why any homeowner should pay special heed to the gutters once spring arrives. Inspect them and patch up any holes, blockage or any other problem that they may be sporting.

2.    Roof inspection:

The roof is the literal shield over your head. It is what protects you from the weathering factors of the outside climate. You should take the time during spring and check your roof for any probable problems. Hence, you will be able to catch any potential major problems in their minor phases here. You should check for any leaks, missing shingles or cracked shingles, fracture lines, etc. You will be able to circumvent costly repairs this way and your home will be in tip-top shape for the summer season.

3.    Window Maintenance:

It is imperative that you clean the windows of the house rigorously once the winter and fall season has passed. As a matter of fact, make this a regular activity. This maintenance of the windows will ensure that they look clean and the glass smooth and clear. It will also make these windows have a longer lifespan. Make sure that the frames of the windows aren’t damaged either. Look for any leaks or surface damage in this case.

4.    Foundation Checking:

Inspect your foundation during the pleasant spring weather. It is possible that your foundation may have suffered damage during the winter and fall seasons. Check for any signs of damage to the foundation and you will be able to catch potential catastrophes in the rudimentary stages.

5.    Air Conditioner Maintenance:

Summer is right around the corner and that is why you should take the time to maintain your Air Conditioners as well. Check the indoor and outdoor units individually. Remove any dust, grime or debris that may be clogging them to ensure maximum performance during summer.
