Have a Firm Foundation

First, check out your foundation. All you have to do is a take a walk around your house. Here, you want to look for any cracks in the masonry or loose stucco.

Go Up Top

Second, have a professional walk your roof. After all, you don’t want to climb up that ladder. Hence, a professional can look for cracked or slipped tiles. Also, if you have a flat roof, as many of us do over our patios. He or she can look for cracks or bubbling in the foam roof. Likewise, this is a good time to clean off any leaves and debris.

Get in the Gutter

Third, if your home has gutters it is a good time to have someone clean your gutters and downspouts. Notwithstanding, clogs in gutters and downspouts can cause eaves to rot. Similarly, this can invite a new set of problems like wood rot or insect infestation. Moreover, your gutters and downspouts, if properly taken care of, will divert water away from home and foundation.

Termites?

Fourth, Spring is a great time to check for signs of termites. Here, you will want to look for termite tubes and wood rot. Therefore, subterranean termites will nest in soil and will move to a wood source close to the ground. Not to mention, these termites will forage in tubes made up of soil, waste and wood chips.

Make those Windows Shine

Fifth, spring clean your windows inside and out. After all, who doesn’t like a clean window. Here, you can use a window cleaning solution with a squeegee or soft cloth. In fact, this is a great time to hose off your sun screens as well.

Get Rid of It

Sixth, de-clutter. Truly, you can make more room in your home by getting rid of stuff. Think, kitchen cabinets and closets. If you are not using it, no need to keep it. Of course, this is the perfect time to contact a charity organization that can use your items. Best of all, getting rid of  clutter helps to make you fell more organized.
