March Maintenance
March Maintenance with a Spring Forward Spirit
As we step into March, longer days and warmer breezes signal the arrival of spring. It’s the perfect time to refresh your home and prep it for the season ahead. Just like spring cleaning, March maintenance is all about renewal—clearing out the old and making space for new beginnings. Here’s your March checklist to keep your home blooming with comfort and safety:
1. Clean Gutters & Downspouts
Spring Showers Ready:
Clear Out Debris: Remove leaves, twigs, and buildup from gutters to prevent overflow.
Flush with Water: Use a garden hose to ensure downspouts are draining properly and water flows away from your foundation.
Check for Damage: Look for loose sections, leaks, or rusted spots that may need repair.
2. Inspect Roof & Chimney
Top it Off:
Visual Check: Use binoculars to look for missing shingles, flashing damage, or chimney cracks.
Schedule Repairs: If anything looks suspicious, get a roofer out before spring rains hit.
Chimney Cap: Make sure it's secure to keep animals and water out.
3. Refresh Windows & Screens
Let the Sunshine In:
Wash Windows: Brighten your home by cleaning inside and out.
Inspect Screens: Check for tears or loose frames and repair as needed.
Open Air Ready: Make sure you’re prepared for those perfect spring breeze days.
Bonus Tips:
🌼 Lawn Equipment Tune-Up: Sharpen mower blades, check oil, and fuel up for the season.
🌼 Declutter Garage: Make room for spring tools and store winter gear properly.
🌼 Smoke Detector Check: If you missed February’s reminder, it’s not too late—test and replace batteries if needed.
🌼 Set Clocks Forward: Daylight Saving Time usually begins in March—don’t forget to spring forward!
March into spring with confidence by giving your home the fresh start it deserves. These simple maintenance steps can prevent costly repairs and set the tone for a safe, sunny season.
