Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to give your home some much-needed attention after a long winter. Keeping up with home maintenance doesn’t have to be costly or time-consuming. Here are a few simple and affordable ways to prepare your home for the warmer months ahead.

1. Schedule a Free Roof Inspection with Roof Worx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your roof protects your entire home, so it’s essential to make sure it’s in good condition. Roof Worx offers free, no-obligation roof inspections that go beyond just looking at the shingles. Our experienced team understands how all home systems work together, including HVAC and plumbing, which can significantly impact roof health. Sometimes, a problem in the attic or ventilation can mimic a roof issue, so our inspections always include a thorough attic check. This allows us to spot potential leaks or damage before they become major problems. Scheduling a yearly inspection is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain your home.

2. Check Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Safety first! Spring is an ideal time to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries. These devices are essential for keeping your home safe, and the cost of replacing batteries is minimal compared to the potential danger of having faulty alarms.

3. Change Your HVAC Filters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replacing HVAC filters every three months helps maintain efficient airflow, reduces allergens, and keeps your heating and cooling system running smoothly. Dirty filters can increase energy consumption and strain your HVAC system, leading to costly repairs. Check your vents as well to ensure they are clean and unblocked.

4. Clean Your Gutters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gutters filled with leaves and debris can lead to water damage and roofing issues. Clean your gutters at the start of spring to ensure that rainwater flows properly away from your home. If you notice damage to your gutters or downspouts, schedule repairs to avoid potential issues down the line.

5. Inspect Your Plumbing for Leaks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring is a great time to check under sinks and around appliances for signs of water leaks. Even small drips can lead to mold growth and water damage. Addressing minor plumbing issues now can save you from costly repairs later.

6. Test Outdoor Fixtures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure your outdoor lighting, faucets, and garden hoses are in good working order. Spring and summer activities rely on functional outdoor systems, so check for leaks or rust on hose connections and clean light fixtures as needed.
