Get Summer Ready: Your Local Handyman Service's Guide to Outdoor Prep
As the warmth of spring settles over Eastern Ontario, our thoughts naturally turn to enjoying the outdoors. This is the perfect time to tackle general exterior maintenance and start planning how to make the most of your outdoor spaces for summer gatherings and relaxation. Your Local Handyman Service can be an invaluable partner in getting your home ready for the season ahead.
Essential Spring Exterior Maintenance:
Before the summer fun begins, addressing general maintenance is key to preventing problems down the line:
Gutter Care: Just as important in spring as after the fall, ensuring your gutters are clear of any lingering debris from winter storms allows rainwater to drain properly, protecting your home's foundation and preventing potential water damage.
Checking and Repairing Siding and Trim: Winter can be tough on your home's exterior. Now is the time to inspect for any cracked or loose siding, damaged trim, or peeling paint. Addressing these small issues early can prevent more significant and costly repairs later.
Window and Door Tune-Ups: Ensure your windows and doors are functioning smoothly for the warmer months. Check screens for tears, lubricate hinges, and repair any sticking issues to enjoy the fresh air.
Walkway and Patio Inspection: Examine your walkways and patios for any cracks or uneven surfaces that could pose a safety hazard. Addressing these now ensures your outdoor areas are safe for you and your guests.
