Spring Cleaning for Homeowners: Maintenance Tasks That Add Value

Spring has officially sprung in Central Florida!  As the days get longer and warmer, it’s the perfect time for homeowners to tackle essential maintenance tasks that not only freshen up your home — but also boost its value.

Whether you're thinking of selling soon or simply want to protect your investment, here's your Spring Home Maintenance Checklist to keep your property in top shape:

1. Schedule an HVAC Checkup

Your air conditioner has been (and will be) working hard in Florida’s heat.

• Why it matters: Regular service keeps your system running efficiently, extends its life, and helps you avoid costly breakdowns.

• Tip: Change your air filters and have a licensed HVAC technician inspect the system before summer kicks in.

2. Inspect the Roof

Spring storms are no joke.

• Why it matters: A small leak today can lead to major damage tomorrow.

• Tip: Check for missing or damaged shingles, signs of water intrusion, and wear around vents or chimneys. If needed, call a professional roofer for a full inspection.

3. Pressure Wash Exterior Surfaces

Nothing says "curb appeal" like a clean exterior!

• Why it matters: Dirt, mildew, and pollen can make your home’s siding, driveway, and walkways look tired and worn.

• Tip: Pressure wash your driveway, walkways, exterior walls, fences, and even the roof (with care) to restore that fresh, clean look.

4. Spruce Up Landscaping

Spring is planting season!

• Why it matters: Neat, vibrant landscaping boosts your home's first impression — and its value.

• Tip: Trim overgrown bushes, mulch garden beds, plant seasonal flowers, and make sure trees are healthy and properly pruned.

5. Check Windows and Doors

Small gaps can lead to big energy losses.

• Why it matters: Sealing and caulking windows and doors improves energy efficiency and helps keep your home comfortable year-round.

• Tip: Look for cracks, drafts, and worn weatherstripping, and replace as needed.

6. Deep Clean and Declutter Inside

A fresh interior feels just as good as a polished exterior.

• Why it matters: A tidy, clutter-free home looks larger, cleaner, and more welcoming — whether you're selling or staying.

• Tip: Clean carpets, wipe baseboards, organize closets, and donate items you no longer use.

7. Test Safety Devices

Protect what matters most.

• Why it matters: Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms save lives — but only if they’re working.

• Tip: Replace batteries, test each device, and make sure you have enough alarms installed throughout your home.
