Spring into action and complete maintenance work this spring, so come summer, you can sit back, relax and enjoy a hot dog on the grill at your perfect barbecue.Use this checklist to give your home a smooth transition with the change in seasons.
Wash your home’s exterior
Depending on the siding you have, power-washing can potentially do harm. In most cases, a garden hose and a cleaning wand attachment is all you need. Remember to tarp your plants and shrubs!
Clean your deck or patio
After cleaning a wooden deck, remember to treat the wood, stain and seal it once everything is dry. Most patio furniture can be freshened up with an all purpose cleaner. On furniture cushions, you can use soap, water and a soft bristle brush.
Tend the garden
Lay down mulch to protect your plants from a drought, boost their growth, and give a finished look to your yard.
Air out your home’s interior
Open all the windows and run the air conditioning on low to rid your home of any winter mustiness.
Swap out wintery decor
Swap out your dark linens for a lighter look. Make the inside of your home look and feel like it’s ready for summer!
Add a fresh coat of paint
Notice any chipping or peeling exterior paint? Consider a touch-up. If you hire a professional, you’ll want the work done in the spring so it’s ready by mid-summer.
