Do Some Spring Cleaning

The winter months can be hard on your home. Exterior elements like windows, siding, and doors can become caked with dirt and grime, while the inside of your can quickly become cluttered with winter apparel, gear, and other items. Spring is the perfect time to declutter, organize, and deep clean your home.

Tackle Spring Home Maintenance

It may not be glamorous, but regular home maintenance is a must. It ensures your home stays in good shape and prevents serious issues from occurring down the road. As a bonus, tackling spring chores now means you’ll have more time to enjoy lazy lake days, backyard BBQs, bonfires, and other summer activities. Below are some spring home maintenance tasks to add to your to-do list.

  • Service your cooling system
  • Drain and descale your water heater
  • Clean out and inspect gutters for damage
  • Inspect the roof for broken or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and other issues
  • Repair cracks and chips in concrete
  • Inspect and repair damaged or missing siding
  • Clean up landscaping and service lawn care equipment

Start Thinking About Outdoor Living Spaces

While the Midwest may be known for its long, cold winters, there’s nothing like Minnesota in the spring and summer. Many of us choose to spend our free time at the lake, but an outdoor living space makes it easy to enjoy the beautiful weather at home. Whether it’s a small patio or a generous deck, outdoor living areas are a great place to relax as a family or host a gathering with all your favorite people.
