Spring Cleaning To-Do’s For A Well-Maintained Home

As spring arrives, it’s common to start cleaning your home—getting rid of the winter grime and preparing for summertime. An important part of this yearly cleaning ritual is looking at your home repair and maintenance needs. Whether it includes gutter cleaning, pressure washing siding, or an HVAC unit check-up, creating a spring home maintenance checklist can help you keep your home looking and feeling fresh. A Trademasters’ membership can help you figure out what you need on your checklist, letting you focus on other parts of your spring cleaning. 

Outdoor Maintenance for Spring Cleaning

Depending on where you live, you may have been hit with snowstorms, heavy rain, thunderstorms and more. With intense weather, you may experience roof damage or leakage, stained or ripped siding, a dirty driveway, and even window damage. Springtime is the perfect time to get those storm damage repairs done and other issues fixed before summer arrives. 

Roofing and Siding

Access to roof repair and siding services are included with a Trademasters membership, letting you relax knowing your home’s facade is taken care of. Full roof replacements for asphalt shingles, barring any significant damage, should be done every fifteen to twenty years. To help your roof last that long, schedule a yearly inspection in the spring. This allows you to better avoid unexpected emergency roof services. Your home’s siding should last at least twenty years as well if maintained properly. Siding services aren’t limited to replacement; however, painting your siding is recommended for certain types of siding about every four years, especially if it’s stained. A fresh coat of paint can give your home a boost and help kickstart other home improvement ideas like adding an outdoor kitchen, taking your summer barbeques to the next level. 

Gutter Cleaning and Pressure Washing

Along with checking in on your roof and siding, guttering cleaning and pressure washing can help clean up the outside of your home. Pressure washing your home and driveway should be a yearly occurrence, or more frequent if your driveway is heavily trafficked. Gutter cleaning should be scheduled in the spring and fall. These two simple maintenance tasks are made even easier with a Trademasters’ Home Services membership.

Indoor Maintenance

Once you make your way through the outdoor part of your spring maintenance checklist, it’s time to tackle inside your home. Spring cleaning tips for inside can help you organize your fridge or go through your closet, but for maintenance it looks a little different. Spring home maintenance tips include having an HVAC inspection, getting interior painting done, and potentially a window replacement or two if necessary. 

HVAC Inspection

As warmer weather moves in, it’s imperative to make sure your HVAC is ready to switch over to air conditioning from heating. Regular inspection, repair, and maintenance for your HVAC unit is important. Making sure your system is working efficiently can help it last up to twenty-five years. Consider scheduling a twice annual HVAC inspection, one in the spring and one in the fall. Staying on top of the maintenance helps to avoid leaks or weather-related issues. 

Interior Painting and Window Replacement

Another way to spruce up your spring cleaning is to paint a room a new color or replace your windows. Spicing up your living room or bedroom with an accent wall can add a fresh, clean touch to your home. Couple that with new windows and you’ve boosted your home’s value too. Windows can show wear quickly and contribute to a lack of energy efficiency. To make sure your windows aren’t going to skyrocket your energy bill this summer, have them evaluated and replaced if necessary. 

Whatever spring cleaning you intend to do, make sure you include home maintenance checks and repairs too. With a Trademasters membership, you have access to all of these services and more, making scheduling maintenance easier than ever.
