These warmer temperatures have us all dreaming of Spring. While we don't want to completely fool ourselves into thinking winter is over ("Fake Spring"), we can start planning for the new season. The Spring home maintenance checklist of chores can be daunting, but our friends at Bundl Home have a solution that may be the answer you need to manage that list.
Our homes have become more than just where we eat and sleep these days. They are our offices, schools, gyms and entertainment locations. We are updating and improving our domains more than ever to accommodate all of these functions. It is also important we are preserving and caring for our homes so they can continue to serve us.
Better Homes and Gardens has a spring home maintenance checklist to help ensure everything in your home from basement to the roof is in tip-top shape:
- Inspect roofing for missing, loose, or damaged shingles and leaks.
- Change the air-conditioner filter.
- Clean window and door screens.
- Polish wood furniture, and dust light fixtures.
- Refinish the deck.
- Power-wash windows and siding.
- Remove leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts.
- Replace the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Have a professional inspect and pump the septic tank.
- Inspect sink, shower, and bath caulking for deterioration.
- Vacuum lint from dryer vent.
- Inspect chimney for damage.
- Repair or replace caulking and weather stripping around windows, doors, and mechanicals.
