Spring Exterior Maintenance Checklist: Protect Your Home This Season
After a long winter, spring is the perfect time to check in on your home’s exterior.
Snow, ice, and cold temperatures can take a toll — and catching small issues early can save you thousands in repairs later.
At Chase Impressions LLC, we’ve put together a simple Spring Exterior Maintenance Checklist to help you keep your home looking beautiful and performing at its best.
1. Inspect Your Siding for Damage
Walk around your home and look closely at your siding.
Check for:
- Cracks
- Warping
- Loose panels
- Signs of mold or mildew
✅ Tip: Pay special attention to the lower sections of your siding where water can splash up.
Need repairs? It’s better (and cheaper) to fix small sections now than wait until they worsen.
2. Check Your Roof for Missing or Damaged Shingles
Winter storms can loosen or break shingles.
From the ground, look for:
- Missing shingles
- Shingles that are curling, cracked, or discolored
- Sagging areas on the roofline
✅ Tip: Use binoculars for a closer look if needed, or call us for a professional inspection.
Ignoring roof damage can lead to leaks — and expensive water damage inside your home.
3. Clean and Inspect Your Gutters
Your gutters work hard all winter. Make sure they’re ready for spring rain!
- Remove leaves, twigs, and debris
- Check for sagging or pulling away from the house
- Make sure downspouts direct water away from your foundation
✅ Tip: Consider installing gutter guards to make future cleanings easier.
4. Wash Your Windows and Check for Drafts
Now’s a great time to clean your windows inside and out.
While you’re at it, check:
- Seals around windows for cracks
- Screens for holes or tears
- Frames for any warping or rot
✅ Tip: If your windows feel drafty or stick when opening, it may be time to upgrade to more energy-efficient models.
5. Inspect Your Doors and Weatherstripping
Spring breezes are great — drafts around your doors are not.
- Check that doors close tightly
- Inspect weatherstripping for wear
- Look for gaps or cracks where pests could sneak in
✅ Tip: Replacing worn weatherstripping is a quick, inexpensive way to improve energy efficiency.
6. Refresh Your Exterior Paint and Trim
Walk around and look at:
- Faded or peeling paint
- Rotting wood trim
- Rust spots on metal features
✅ Tip: A quick touch-up now can prevent costly repairs later — and it instantly boosts curb appeal!
7. Look Over Driveways, Walkways, and Porches
Winter freeze-thaw cycles can crack concrete and shift pavers.
- Check for cracks or uneven surfaces
- Seal small cracks before they grow
- Make safety repairs if needed
✅ Tip: A clean, even walkway is safer and more welcoming for guests.
