Exterior Spring Maintenance tips

Spring Outdoor Home Maintenance

Get these three essential spring maintenance tips handled during the Minnesota spring weather. All homeowners will benefit from keeping on top of these major exterior parts of your homes:

1️⃣ Inspect & Clean Gutters and Downspouts 🍃
Winter debris, ice, and snow can clog gutters, leading to drainage issues when spring rains arrive. Clear out leaves and buildup, check for leaks, and make sure downspouts direct water away from the foundation to prevent flooding.

2️⃣ Check Your Roof & Siding for Winter Damage 🏡
Harsh Minnesota winters can cause loose shingles, cracks, or leaks. Inspect your roof for any signs of damage and make necessary repairs before heavy spring storms hit. Also, check siding for warping, gaps, or mold growth, which can lead to bigger issues if left unchecked.

3️⃣ Get Your Lawn & Landscaping Spring-Ready 🌿
As the snow melts, clean up dead leaves, branches, and winter debris from your yard. Inspect your sprinkler system for leaks, prune trees and shrubs, and refresh mulch around plants to protect them as temperatures rise.

Taking these steps now will help protect your home from potential issues and ensure it's in top shape for the time you go to sell the property for top dollar and get the most equity from your home as possible.
