The days are getting longer, the sun is shining brighter, and the lush landscapes that surround us are in full bloom. With this season of renewal, we would like to share some essential home maintenance tips that will help ensure your property remains in great shape.

 

1. Clean and Inspect Gutters

As the spring rains begin to grace our gardens, it's vital to clean and inspect your gutters for debris and damage. This simple task will prevent water from overflowing and causing damage to your home's foundation or walls.

 

2. Check for Roof Damage

Strong winds, storms, and plant debris can take a toll on your roof. Take the time to inspect your roof for any missing or damaged shingles, as well as any potential leaks. Be sure to trim nearby trees to keep branches, leaves, and debris from causing damage to your roof. If you're unsure about your roof's condition, consider hiring a professional to conduct a thorough inspection.

 

3. Refresh Exterior Paint And Caulk

Florida's climate can be tough on your home's exterior. Inspect the paint and caulk for any signs of wear or damage, and touch up or replace as needed. This will not only keep your home looking beautiful but also protect it from water damage and other issues.

 

4. Service Your Air Conditioner

With warmer weather on the horizon, it's crucial to ensure your air conditioning system is ready to keep your home cool and comfortable. Schedule an annual tune-up with a professional HVAC technician, and don't forget to replace your air filters regularly.

 

5. Inspect and Repair Screens

Brevard County is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including our infamous mosquito population. Check your window and door screens for any tears or holes, and repair or replace them as needed to keep those pesky critters at bay.

 

6. Fertilize and Treat Your Lawn

Spring is the perfect time to give your lawn some extra love. Fertilize your grass and treat for weeds and pests to keep your yard looking lush and vibrant throughout the season.

 

7. Check Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

As we spring forward into daylight saving time, it's a great opportunity to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries. These small devices are vital in keeping you and your family safe.
