Spring is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to make sure their property is in good shape and to help protect their investment, too. Here are some ideas to help homeowners get on track with maintenance in mind.
Look for cracks, peeling or chipped paint, and general wear and tear on siding and trim. Have damaged areas repaired and repainted as needed for lasting protection.
Clear gutters and downspouts of debris and gunk collected over the winter and repair any leaks.
Check patios and walkways for cracks and any loose bricks or pavers. These are tripping hazards and unsafe until repaired/corrected.
Clean window screens and repair any holes or tears, or replace the screen material. Wash accessible exterior windows before reinstalling screens.
Look around the property for damaged tree limbs and branches. If a large tree appears to be damaged, stay safe and call a professional for an evaluation.
Inspect the irrigation system for broken sprinkler heads and emitters. Also check for overspray and adjust the system to prevent water waste.
