Spring has sprung! The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and spring cleaning begins! Home maintenance is something we often overlook, but spring is a great time to take care of services that will help your home look great all spring and summer long. Over the fall and winter months, the outsides of houses get dirty, limbs fall to the ground and gutters get clogged with leaves and debris. Where to start? We put together a list of tips and local businesses to call on when you need help.
Top 5 Spring Home Maintenance Tips:
- Clean windows and screens
- Replace your HVAC filters
- Service your air conditioning unit
- Remove dead trees/limbs and bushes
- Clean out gutters
It’s recommended to clean your home’s windows once a year and spring happens to be the ideal time. Washing away pollen on the windows can help with allergies plus keeping your windows clean helps maintain your home’s efficiency levels which are smart before summer hits. If your windows require a ladder to clean them, or you simply need help, call on the Squeegee Squad – they offer free estimates!
Window washing will help with curb appeal but how’s your landscape looking? Do you need a refresh or assistance shaping things up?
