Sacramento Spring Home Maintenance

A spring checkup for the house

With spring right around the corner, it’s a great time to think about doing a thorough overhaul of your home in Sacramento. A regular Spring maintenance plan will help you identify problems early on and mitigate costly damage and repairs. And by keeping your Sacramento home in good repair and order, you’ll improve your daily life.

Inspect and repair exteriors suffering from the effects of winter weather. Initiate a full spring cleaning room by room and check all systems in the house. Think about each area of ​​your property to make a comprehensive checklist of basic tasks, such as the following:

Home Exterior Spring Checklist

  • Inspect roof for leaks and damaged tiles or shingles
  • Check siding for loose parts and check trim for cracked paint
  • Clean gutters, repair holes and weak joints, and replace damaged sections
  • Replace exterior caulking that is peeling

  • Inspect the foundation for cracks or other signs of weakening.
  • Repair cracked or uneven driveways, stairs, and sidewalks to prevent injuries

  • Remove and store shutters and doors
  • Wash windows and repair damaged frames; clean and reinstall screens
  • Clean up yard debris such as dead foliage and weeds; start spring landscaping projects
  • Clean and repair outdoor patio furniture.
  • Check the sprinkler system for loose or leaking valves
  • Inspect decks, patios, porches, stairs, and railings for loose parts and deterioration.

Home Interior Spring Checklist

  • Service the water heater pump and motor
  • Clean the air conditioning unit and replace the belt when necessary; follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for professional maintenance
  • Replace furnace filter
  • Make sure the electrical system is adequate to support any new appliances, technology or higher power usage; update as needed
  • Clear slow drains and ensure plumbing shutoff valves are working properly
  • Clean the kitchen extractor hood and the air filter.
  • Clean Clothes Dryer Exhaust Duct and Damper
  • Make sure fire extinguishers are operational and accessible
  • Clean smoke alarm covers and install new batteries
  • Replace old light bulbs with energy efficient models
  • Tidy up closets and other storage places and get out things that are no longer used, then make a plan to donate or sell them

With an established Spring Home Maintenance routine, you’ll also become better acquainted with the nuances of your home’s systems and better equipped to deal with problems when they arise. It’s a good idea to supplement your Spring Home Maintenance efforts by making a professional home inspection part of the routine. While most homebuyers have an inspection as part of their due diligence when considering a new home, most homeowners don’t think to schedule an inspection once they’re living in the home. However, a professional home inspector can help you identify problems in your home before they become a huge strain on your lifestyle and your wallet. Once you’ve gone through your spring home maintenance checklist to note the things you’re concerned about, an inspector can provide information on needed repairs and updates.
