I received an email the other day from Pillar to Post Home Inspectors. They always have some good home ownership tips to share and I thought I would pass this list along.

 

Spring Maintenance Checklist

  • Check siding for cracks, peeling or chipped paint, and general wear and tear. Have damaged areas repaired and repainted as needed for lasting protection.

  • Clean gutters and downspouts of debris that collected over the winter.

  • Check patios and walkways for cracks and any loose bricks or pavers. These are a tripping hazard that needs to be corrected promptly.

  • Clean window screens and repair any holes or tears, or replace the screen material.

  • Check around for damaged tree limbs and branches. If a large tree appears to be damaged, be safe and call a professional to address any issues.

  • Inspect the irrigation system for broken sprinkler heads and emitters. Also check for overspray and adjust the system to prevent water waste.
