Have you ever wondered what maintenance you must perform annually for your home? There are tons of projects you can work on, but how do you choose? You should likely pick based on your interest if you’re new to maintenance projects. You could even choose in order of importance. Regardless of what you decide to work on, you shouldn’t push it off. Make sure you take care of these annual maintenance tasks early in the year. 

Outdoor Spring Cleaning

There’s nothing better than spring cleaning. We often imagine vacuuming and scrubbing our hardware floors inside. But what about your home’s exterior? When spring arrives, ensure you rake up any leaves the snow didn’t take care of. Lay down mulch beneath your hedges and under your flowerbeds. Mulch keeps weeds at bay and protects your plants from drying up. Ensure your outside faucets are back on and check for any damage. Finally, if you don’t have time, hire a lawn care service to help keep your property trimmed and fresh. Renew your annual contract if you already have one. 

Indoor Spring Cleaning

You must wash the drapes and dust the blinds. Use glass cleaner to wipe your windows on the outside and inside. We typically neglect the outside—don’t make this mistake. Dust your overhead lights. You must determine the best time of year to get your water tested. Spring is a good time for many because this is when water runoff gives a better reading of possible contaminants. A deep vacuuming is vital as well. Also, wash the vents. This is essential to the annual home maintenance you’ll take care of early in the year.

Lawns and Hedges

You must reseed your lawn. This includes planting any flowers and filling in bald patches before summer hits. Later in spring, fertilize your lawn so that your flowers can grow without a hitch. Give all your flowers plenty of water. Also, store your snow blower if you need to, drain the fuel, and clean the motor and parts. Finally, check your lawnmower. We use our mowers often but rarely check on them. Maintaining these things is bound to enhance your curb appeal and keep your home spick and span. If you follow these tips, you’ll be in good shape.
