Spring Home Maintenance Checklist: Get Your Property Ready for the Warmer Months

Why Spring Maintenance Matters

Spring is the perfect time to inspect and refresh your home after the harsh winter months. Proper maintenance helps prevent costly repairs, increases your home’s value, and ensures your space is safe and comfortable. Whether you’re a homeowner or a landlord, this checklist will guide you through essential spring maintenance tasks.

1. Roof and Gutter Inspection

Winter storms can cause damage to your roof and clog your gutters with debris. Take the time to:
✅ Inspect for missing or broken shingles
✅ Clear out leaves and dirt from gutters
✅ Check for leaks or water damage inside the attic
✅ Consider professional roof maintenance if needed

2. Exterior Painting & Touch-Ups

Spring is a great time to give your home’s exterior a fresh coat of paint. This helps:
✔ Protect your property from moisture and mold
✔ Boost curb appeal
✔ Extend the life of walls and woodwork

If you notice peeling or faded paint, a quick touch-up or a full repaint by professionals like Oladecorator can restore your home’s charm.

3. Pressure Wash Your Driveways & Patios

Dirt, grime, and moss tend to build up on outdoor surfaces over winter. Power washing your driveway, walkways, and patio will:
✅ Remove built-up dirt and algae
✅ Make outdoor spaces safer and more appealing
✅ Prepare your garden area for spring and summer gatherings

4. Plumbing Check: Leaks & Water Damage

Winter can cause frozen pipes and unnoticed leaks. Inspect:
✔ Faucets, sinks, and under-sink pipes for leaks
✔ Outdoor taps and hoses for winter damage
✔ The water heater for efficiency and signs of wear

A simple inspection can prevent costly water damage in the future.

5. Preparing Your Garden for Spring

Spring is the best time to get your garden back in shape. Start by:
✅ Clearing out weeds and dead plants
✅ Pruning trees and shrubs
✅ Cleaning outdoor furniture
✅ Sealing decks or fencing
