Ahhh, spring is here, and with it longer days, warmer temps, and a return to outdoor living. Yesss! Spring also means itās also time to give that home sweet home a serious once over. To help, hereās an April home maintenance checklist to get you started:ā£
ā£
Declutter, declutter, declutter. Yep, Iām beating that drumā¦again. You didn't think Iād have a home maintenance checklist without decluttering as numero uno, did you?ā£
Replace air filters and schedule a maintenance check of your cooling system to ensure itās ready for the steamy months ahead.ā£
Wash windows and doors, and donāt forget your porches. Clean out corner cobwebs and spruce up your front porch or stoop with a colorful wreath, a cutesy welcome mat, and stately planters.ā£
Clean and organize your garage; while you're at it, go on and rinse out your trash cans and recycling bins.ā£
Rent or borrow a pressure washer to give your siding, sidewalk, and driveway a fresh look. Check for widening cracks and chipped paint as you go, making a note to come back and address them later.ā£
Clean and repair your gutters and downspouts to ensure theyāre in prime condition for spring downpours.ā£
Test your sprinkler or irrigation system and give that lawnmower a good ole crank. (Trust me, your grass will thank you later!)ā£
Clear brush and fallen limbs away from the house and clean out your beds to make room for spring color.ā£

Join me in rolling out the welcome mat for the easy, breezy season ahead!ā£
