I am a list person, so lists like this help keep me organized. Checking tasks off as they are completed! You might not want to do each task on the list, or you might add a few! However, we will share a few items that, in our opinion, are very important when maintaining your home!
Clean Gutters & Downspouts... we cannot express enough the importance of this task. ALSO, make sure the runoff is adequate and water is not running directly down into the foundation, crawl, basement of your home. As real estate brokers, many times we see issues with homes in which the homeowner neglects cleaning gutters, downspouts and downspouts must have improper runoff!
HVAC: Get that HVAC system serviced and cleaned! When will the A/C go out? When it's 100 degrees in the shade. The fee to have a reputable company to do a twice a year maintenance is minimal to the fee to repair or replace a system!
ALSO:
Furnace Filters: One of the easiest, but a neglected task - CHANGE YOUR FURNACE FILTER! And frankly, not just in the spring or fall. While those big, expensive filters might seem to do a great job, they can reduce the functionality of your HVAC system as the filer collects more debris. Many licensed HVAC technicians recommend the inexpensive, thin filters and change them monthly! Change them the first of the month when you make a mortgage payment is a good day! Write it on your calendar!
Check The Roof! Any damaged or missing shingles? Have your roof assessed by a reputable contractor! It's important to get a good referral! Spring is storm season and there are many "contractors" out there who either do poor work, or are scamming money from good people.
Spring is also the time I go through my closets and dresser drawers and eliminate any clothing/items we no longer need. There are plenty of organizations that will take your donations of gently used items!
