HOME MAINTENANCE TIPS FROM
ROBERT DEFALCO REALTY
If you are like most homeowners,
making the adjustment from winter to spring
can become time consuming & stressful.
To help plan ahead for the upcoming spring weather
here are some important tips & reminders
Spring is in the Air!
Spring Time Tips for Homeowners
INDOORS
{ SWAP HEAVY & DARK WINDOW TREATMENTS
FOR LIGHTER & BRIGHTER SHADES! {
Take the opportunity now
to prepare your windows
for a steady stream of natural sunlight.
Let the light help warm your house by swapping out
your heavy winter shades
for natural, breathable materials
that won’t absorb or
block the sunlight from your home.
Not only will this give
your home a fresher feeling
for the spring months, but it
will also create a visually appealing look
that defines and separates one season from the next.
R CHECK WINDOWS & DOORS FOR CRACKS OR SPACING! R
The harsh winter months can be stressful on doors and windows.
Between the extremes of hot
and cold on either side,
windows & doors may
crack or naturally create space
letting air escape, or even creep in!
Keep the chill out and the warmth in
& vice versa for the changing of the seasons!
OUTDOORS
S CLEAR OUT THE GUTTERS S
Over the course of the fall & winter,
your gutters are open for business!
Make sure to clear them of falling
or settled debris from the leaves & trees,
Before the spring showers get here!
¬ WATCH OUT FOR BROKEN TREE LIMBS! ¬
While the winter is cold enough,
the snow doesn’t help!Trees grow weak over time,
and limbs constantly break
& fall throughout the years.
If you have older trees in your neighborhood,
be sure to check for weak limbs and remove them
before they fall and damage your property!
If you can remove the branches yourself,
carefully cut away any parts that may be brittle and break.
Otherwise, hire a professional to remove the limbs.
Save money now rather then pay for damages later!
² CHECK THE DRIVEWAY & SIDEWALKS ²
Just like the streets, the sidewalks & driveways
Undergo the same punishment
of freezing weather & salting when it snows.
These cracks in the pavement don’t only get worse over time,
but they also allow weeds to settle in!
Nip these cracks in the bud early on,
before you have to weed your way through them!
