🌼 Interior Spring Maintenance Checklist
Spring cleaning goes beyond decluttering—this is your chance to make sure everything inside your home is safe, efficient, and in good working order.
✔ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Replace batteries and confirm all alarms are functioning properly. This is a quick task that protects your entire household.
✔ Change HVAC air filters
A clean filter improves air quality and helps your system run more efficiently—especially as allergy season ramps up.
✔ Inspect window screens
Check for tears or damage that may have occurred during winter. Repairing screens now keeps bugs out later.
✔ Repair screen doors
Make sure doors open and close smoothly, and replace any worn or damaged mesh.
✔ Check your sump pump
Spring rain can put your sump pump to the test. Pour water into the pit to ensure it’s working correctly and draining properly.
✔ Inspect air ducts for mold or buildup
Dust, debris, and moisture can accumulate in your ductwork. If you notice musty odors, it may be time for a professional inspection.
✔ Repair bathroom caulking
Cracked or peeling caulk can lead to water damage. Fresh caulking helps prevent mold and protects your walls and fixtures.
🌷 Exterior Spring Maintenance Checklist
Winter can be tough on your home’s exterior. A little attention now can boost curb appeal and prevent bigger issues down the road.
✔ Clean out gutters and downspouts
Remove leaves and debris to ensure proper drainage and avoid water damage to your roof and foundation.
✔ Scrub decks and patios
Dirt and mildew build up over time. A good cleaning helps restore your outdoor spaces and prepares them for summer use.
✔ Pressure wash siding
Refresh your home’s exterior by removing grime, mold, and winter residue.
✔ Inspect your sprinkler system
Check for leaks, broken heads, or uneven coverage before regular use begins.
✔ Organize your garage
Spring is a great time to declutter and create a more functional storage space.
✔ Check your roof for damage
Look for missing shingles, leaks, or signs of wear caused by winter storms.
✔ Trim trees and shrubs
Cut back overgrown branches to protect your home and encourage healthy growth.
