As the winter season leaves us, the beautiful springtime makes the weather pleasant. What are the many things that spring brings? Firstly, flowers and trees embrace the colors of spring; you see greenery everywhere and hear the birds sing. Besides, it is time to carry out the cleaning and maintenance tasks at your home in cozy and warm temperatures.

So, what are the many things that you can do to maintain a comfortable temperature and beautiful ambiance in your home this spring? Here are some of the things that you must have in your spring outdoor home checklist this time of the year.

Home Maintenance Checklist

Downspouts and Gutters

Cleaning the gutters may sound like an ordinary task. But, trust us, it can be crucial to prevent pests’ invasion. Did you know that the gutters on your house roofs and the downspouts can experience blockages and pave ways for insects into your attic?

After harsh storms and frosts of the chilly season, you should ensure that there is no debris, vegetation, gravel, grain, etc., or buildup in your gutters. Hence, you can rest assured your home’s roof won’t suffer any damage due to the gutters.

Windows

It is time to get those storm shields off your windows. Consider this as one of the early perks of springtime. You should clean and wash the windows of your home to enhance the curb appeal. Notably, try to detect any sort of damage to the window panels or structure for steady replacement.

Home Sidings

No one can deny the aesthetic appeal that home sidings create. For one, they serve the purpose of enhancing your house’s exterior visuals. However, home sidings consist of materials (a few) that are susceptible to mold, mildew, and other fungi growth.

Moisture and water create the ideal conditions for fungus growth; it can affix itself on the house exterior. So, be sure to check and inspect the house’s siding thoroughly. What’s more, a weak house siding can lead to a weak house structure and even facilitate the growth of mildew indoors.

Roof Inspections

Investigating the roof is an essential task in the springtime. To make sure that there aren’t any major damages after the storms and fixing the minor issues, you might want to seek professional help. Furthermore, clear out any leakage sources, misalignment, cracks, breakages, and even shingle displacements on your roof.

Also, consider trimming the shrubs and trees (twigs and branches) that are in direct contact with your home’s exterior, such as the sidings, roof, windows, etc.

Termites

Seeing a bunch of winged insects roaming in your outdoor home woodworks? Beware! It may be the infestation of termites. In such cases, seeking professional help is the best decision to avoid any health risks.
