    3 Maintenance Tips to Prepare Your Home for the Spring

    With springtime right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about preparing our homes for the warmer weather. Many of you already have plans to give your home a thorough cleaning once the sun begins to shine consistently on a regular basis. But it’s easy to overlook a few crucial things to make your house look absolutely amazing this spring.

    3 Maintenance Tips to Prepare Your Home for the Spring

    But prepping your house for spring is more than simply cleaning it from top to bottom. Have you checked your smoke alarms lately? Do you remember the last time you cleaned out your dryer vent? Are your gutters clean? Do you need to contact a company like Restoration Elite for major renovations and repairs?

    Does your house need roofing repairs in South Jersey? You can learn more here and find out about a company doing excellent work at affordable prices.

    If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it’s time to take springtime home maintenance and preparation to the next level. We’ll share some of our favorite tips with you below, so you can get started on these preparations soon because the spring will be here faster than you know it.

    Tip #1: Give Your Gutters a Thorough Cleaning

    When we think about cleaning up our property during the spring, we often overlook cleaning the gunk, dirt, and grime out of our filthy gutters. Maybe you’re under the impression that your gutters are already clean. You’re only fooling yourself if you haven’t tackled this DIY home improvement project for a few years. You’ll soon find out just how filthy your gutters can be. Click here for more info on this subject!

    So take your trusted ladder out of the garage and set it up near your gutters. Thoroughly check them up and down for leaves, debris, gunk, and grime. Again, if you haven’t done this in a while, your gutters are going to be dirty. So slap on a pair of gloves and physically remove the leaves and other forms of grime from your gutters by hand.

    Once you’ve finished this portion of the task, you should turn on your hose, climb the ladder, and then proceed to thoroughly wash down your gutters to remove any excess gunk still clogging up your system. Make sure you carefully wash down your gutters and flush out all the gooseneck bends as well, so rainwater can freely flow through it once you’ve completed the task.

    3 Maintenance Tips to Prepare Your Home for the Spring

    Tip #2: Replace the Filters in Your Home

    Depending on where you live and the type of house you live in, you may need to replace your air conditioning filters, water filters, range hood filters, and more. Ideally, you should replace these filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on the filter itself and how often you use it.

    As an example, if you live in a hot state like Florida or Arizona you should ideally replace your air conditioner filters at least once a month. Or at least make the effort to look at them to see if these filters are dirty.

    Ultimately, the more you replace these filters, the longer these appliances are going to last. Plus, they’re going to run more efficiently and cost less when your filters are clean.

    Tip #3: Give Your Grill a Healthy Once Over

    Your grill has most likely collected dirt, dust, and other forms of debris during the winter. If you want your grill to last long and bring numerous hours of pleasure to you and your family throughout the years, you need to take care of it. So clean it off and clean it out real good once the spring rolls around to keep this stupendous piece of warm weather technology in phenomenal shape.

    Conclusion

    Clearly, preparing your home for spring isn’t as straightforward as you may have initially thought. But if you follow our guidance and listen to what we have to say, you can have your home prepped and ready for spring in no time flat.
