Owning a home is a dream, but keeping its curb appeal can be a chore. No matter if you’re a new homeowner, a few years into home ownership or a seasoned vet, using this guide will pay to know how to keep your home’s exterior in tip-top shape each season.
Spring
It’s time to see what the winter blast has done to the outside of your home.
- Inspect roof for damage from winter storms
- Assess the state of your roof shingles to determine if a new roof is needed (especially if your roof is over 20 years old)
- Inspect siding for signs of damage
- Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris so water can flow easily
- Inspect your ceilings and attic for leaks or water damage
- Check your windows for cracks and ice damage
- Check for growing moss and algae
Summer
With family vacations and outdoor fun, don’t bog yourself down with needless projects.
- Inspect roof along with shingles, gutters, soffit, fascia, flashing, chimney, and vents for noticeable damage.
- Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to have rain water flow away from your house
- Clean any dirt or fungal growth from your siding and roof
- Trim any trees that are overgrown which are close to your roof and/or gutters
- Fix and replace and broken windows or cracks
Fall
The leaves are changing and it’s time to prepare your home for winter.
- Ensure that your attic is well-insulated to prevent any possible ice dams building up on your roof
- Clean out debris from gutters and check if repairs are needed like tightening brackets and rejoining sections.
- Check all window seals and fix window seals
- Inspect siding and fix or tighten any loose pieces
- Remove all debris from your roof and could damage shingles or gutters
Winter
Winter can give a beating to the exterior of your home. It pays to stay on top of any potential damage after a winter storm hits.
- Monitor snow build up on your roof and remove yourself if you can do it safely; otherwise hire a professional after a big winter storm
- Check your roof after a winter storm for any downed branches or roof damage
- Inspect for ice build up that could be harmful to your family or your gutters
