Spring is officially upon us! As we move into the season, there’s so much to do — especially before the Houston weather really start to heat up — and, if you’re a homeowner, tackling your spring maintenance to-do list is a must.
But what maintenance tasks do you need to do to get your property spring ready? A recent article from realtor.com outlined spring maintenance tasks to take care of ASAP, including:
- Inspect the exterior and roof. Winter storms can do damage to your home. Now that winter is in the rear view mirror, it’s important to inspect both your home’s exterior and roof for any signs of damage.

- Clean your gutters and spouts. Neglecting all the natural materials that collect in your gutters over time could result in significant structural damage to your home—so it’s best to check them as soon as the heavy rains and rainy season pass! If you can handle being on a ladder, you can tackle cleaning the gutters on a warm afternoon. Here’s how.

- Clean up your lawn and garden. Now that the weather is getting nicer, chances are, you’ll want to spend more enjoying your yard or working in your garden. Schedule a spring clean-up to get rid of any debris, like branches, leaves, and other yard waste. Not only will it make your yard look better, it will also prepare the soil and garden for new spring growth.
