By doing these chores now, it will help maintain your home and always have it in great condition when you are ready to sell your house. By making minor repairs throughout the year, it can keep those major, costly repair projects at bay. So lets get started with your chore list.
The Roof, Gutters, and Chimney – Now that the snow has melted, is a great time to inspect the shingles on your roof. You may also want to blow the leaves and pine needles from your roof. Then move on to cleaning your gutters so when the Sumer rains come, they will be in good working order. Also, look at your chimney, if you have one, and inspect for any damage or build up. Now is a great time to get your chimney or fire pipe cleaned and inspected by a professional, as they are not as busy as in the fall.
Yard Debris & Maintenance – Now moving into the yard area of your home. You will want to rake up any leaves, pine cones, and other winter debris. Look for any limbs that need trimming. Also check any yard hydrant faucet and hose bibs on the sides of the house to make sure they did not freeze during winter and are in good working condition.
Service AC Unit – Again, it is Spring. Heating and Cooling contractors are in their shoulder months so they will be less busy now to perform the annual maintenance on your unit then they will be as the temperatures rise. Remember to also change your filters regularly.
Smoke Alarms- It is also a great idea to check the batteries in your smoke detectors around your house just to be on the safe side.
