Inspect The Deck

After the last thaw, it’s time to check any decks, patios, or wooden stairs on your property. You’re looking for water staining, warping, and/or discoloration. If you spot this, it may be time to schedule an appointment with your local handyman or licensed contractor!

Clean The Gutters

Break out the ladder and let’s get the gutters looking spic and span! Debris in gutters can cause a world of issues overtime. Clean gutters keep water flowing away from the foundation of your home, so it’s well worth it to ensure they’re working properly!

Clean The Vent Covers

In older homes, vent covers can collect an awful amount of dust. They’re easy to remove! You can vacuum the dust or smaller covers can be soaked in soapy water and air dried! Dust and dirt in vent covers can exacerbate asthma and degrade the air quality in your home.
