March Home Maintenance Tips

March Home Maintenance Tips: Get Your Home Spring-Ready!

As the days get longer and the temperatures start to rise, March is the perfect time to refresh your home and prepare for the warmer months ahead. Here’s your Spring Home Maintenance Checklist to keep your home in top shape:

✅ Inspect Your Roof & Gutters – Winter can take a toll on your roof! Check for loose shingles, leaks, and clean out gutters to prevent water damage.

✅ Service Your HVAC System – Schedule a tune-up for your air conditioning to ensure it’s running efficiently before the summer heat arrives.

✅ Check Windows & Doors – Inspect seals and caulking to prevent drafts and keep energy costs down. Give windows a good cleaning for a clear view of spring!

✅ Refresh Landscaping – Trim overgrown trees and shrubs, clean up leaves, and start planning your garden for vibrant spring blooms.

✅ Deep Clean Your Home – Tackle those often-overlooked areas: baseboards, ceiling fans, air vents, and behind appliances. A fresh home feels amazing!

✅ Check Outdoor Faucets & Sprinklers – Turn them back on after winter, check for leaks, and ensure they’re working properly for lawn care. One suggestion: I always wait until after Mother's Day to turn on our sprinklers!

✅ Inspect Your Driveway & Walkways – Look for cracks that may have developed over winter and schedule repairs if needed.

✅ Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors – Replace batteries and ensure everything is functioning correctly for your family’s safety.

Spring is a season of renewal—taking care of your home now will help you enjoy the warmer months worry-free!
