What home maintenance do I need to do in the spring?
Spring 2024
One of the best things you can do for the resale of your home is maintain it. Maintaining your home also makes it more enjoyable to live in. Home sellers are never happy when they have to make costly improvements to sell their home or when they have to sell for less because they didn't maintain their home.
There are several things you can do to maintain your home. Here are a few we do on the exterior of our home and did just this week.
- Gutters cleaned - we do this at least 2xs per year since we have tall pine trees.
- House Power Washed - This is something we do every spring. It keeps our siding and porches cleaned. Our Power Washing company also cleans our gutters.
- HVAC serviced - You should do this at least once each spring. No one wants to be without power in July. The HVAC seems to stop working at the worst time.
- Pest Maintenance - This spring it is to spray for ants and for random pest. We have our termite treatment in the fall.
- New Ferns/Hanging porch baskets - Our ferns usually last a year or two. We have them hanging on our porch and water them every morning. They grow so well here that the roots will grow out of the pot which is when we replace them.
- Flowerpot re-potted - We have a large flowerpot near the front door. My husband always freshens it up in the spring.
- Hummingbird feeder hung - You can get a simple hummingbird feeder, fill it with the clear hummingbird food and enjoy hummingbirds through the spring season.
- New flowers in flowerbed - Spring is a great time to freshen up those flowerbeds.
Let me know in the comments what you've done on the exterior of your home this spring or what you're planning to do.
