Spring Cleaning Checklist | A Homeowners Guide

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home, both inside and out. While many people focus on decluttering and deep cleaning indoors, the exterior needs attention too. A little maintenance now can prevent costly repairs later and keep your home looking its best.

Wash Your Windows for a Clearer View

Over time, dirt, pollen, and hard water stains build up on your windows, blocking natural light and making your home look dull. Clean windows brighten your space and improve visibility.

Tip: Use a streak-free glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth for the best results. If you have hard-to-reach windows, professional cleaning can save time and effort.

Pressure Wash Siding and Walkways

Dirt, mildew, and algae accumulate on your home’s siding, driveway, and walkways, causing discoloration and potential damage. A good pressure wash removes buildup and instantly improves curb appeal.

Tip: Be mindful of pressure settings—too much force can damage softer surfaces like wood or vinyl siding.

Clear Out Gutters to Prevent Damage

Winter storms leave behind leaves and debris that clog gutters, leading to overflow, roof damage, and foundation issues. Cleaning them out now helps prevent costly repairs later.

Tip: Check for sagging or loose sections while cleaning. If climbing a ladder isn’t for you, consider a professional service.

Refresh Your Landscaping

A well-maintained yard makes a big difference. Overgrown bushes, dead plants, and bare patches in your lawn can make your home look neglected.

Tip: Trim bushes, remove weeds, add fresh mulch, and plant seasonal flowers to give your landscape a vibrant look.

Inspect and Maintain Fences and Decks

Wooden fences and decks take a beating from winter weather. Sun and moisture can cause fading, warping, or even rot if left untreated.

Tip: Check for loose boards, nails, or discoloration. A fresh coat of stain or sealant helps protect against weather damage and keeps wood looking its best.
