Spring—the season of renewal—is the perfect time to start those home-improvement projects you daydreamed about all winter long. With milder weather and longer daylight hours, it’s an ideal time to refresh your space (and tackle necessary maintenance) so your family can enjoy it through the rest of the year.

Here are some of the best home projects to complete this spring to keep your home in top condition and looking great.
1. Inspect and Repair Your Roof
Winter weather can take a toll on your roof. Look for missing or damaged shingles, leaks, or signs of wear and tear. Addressing these issues early can help prevent costly repairs later.
2. Gutter Cleaning and Inspection
Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and foundation issues. Clear out leaves and debris, and check for any sagging or leaks to ensure proper drainage before the spring rains arrive.
Spring is a great time to refresh your home’s exterior with a fresh coat of paint! Check for peeling or chipping paint on siding, trim, and doors to improve curb appeal and protect surfaces from the elements. Now is a great time to correct or change any interior drywall concerns or paint color updates, as well. Bonus tip: consider changing and refreshing the color of your front door!
Winter can be tough on outdoor spaces. Clean and power wash decks, patios, and outdoor furniture. Check for any loose boards, cracks, or signs of rot and make necessary repairs to get ready for outdoor entertaining. (Better yet, finally build that new deck you’ve been dreaming about and enjoy it all summer long.)
5. Lawn and Garden Prep
Get your yard ready for the growing season by aerating the soil, fertilizing, and planting new flowers or shrubs. Don’t forget to check your sprinkler system to ensure it’s functioning properly.
6. HVAC System Check-Up
Before the summer heat arrives, have your air conditioning system inspected and serviced. Replacing filters and scheduling a professional tune-up can improve efficiency and prevent breakdowns.
7. Window and Door Inspection
Check for drafts or damage around windows and doors. Caulking gaps and replacing weather stripping can improve energy efficiency and keep your home comfortable as temperatures rise.
8. Driveway and Walkway Repairs
Freeze-thaw cycles during winter can cause cracks in concrete and asphalt surfaces. Repairing these early can prevent further damage and improve safety around your home.
Enhance your home’s security and curb appeal by checking and updating outdoor lighting. Replace burnt-out bulbs and consider adding new fixtures to illuminate pathways, porches, and patios.
10. Pest Prevention
Warmer weather brings out insects and rodents. Seal cracks, clean up yard debris, and inspect for signs of pests to prevent infestations before they start.
No matter the size of the task, taking care of these projects now will help prevent bigger issues later and keep your home looking its best.
