cracked peeling paint

Goodbye Winter Hello Spring!

Items you should add to your spring checklist!

Repair & Repaint cracked or peeling paint.

A good paint job makes your home look nice, while providing a protective barrier from the elements. Touch-up painting is easy to do and inexpensive.

Gutters

Spring is a good time to make sure your gutters are free of all of the winter debris so that with the spring rains they are able to handle the capacity of water coming off your roof.

Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors.

You never know when you’ll need them. Sometimes it’s a matter of life or death, so take the time to change the batteries now.

Prepare your lawn mower for summer.

Change the engine oil and sharpen the cutting blade; you’ll lengthen the life of the mower and improve the look of your lawn.

Vacuum your refrigerator coils.

The coils you’ll find on the bottom or back of your fridge conduct the hot air from inside the unit. If they’re coated with dust, they do the job less efficiently and cause your refrigerator to work harder; that means a higher electric bill for you. Use a vacuum cleaner hose or a brush on the coils.

Fix cracks in your walks, driveway and the outside of your home.

Unlike the human body, cracks in asphalt, concrete or stucco don’t heal themselves. Fortunately, most of these repairs are fairly easy if taken care of early on

Clear vegetation around your AC compressor.

To work efficiently, the compressor needs good airflow. To ensure it has breathing room, prune any plant growth that could block it.
