When you do your annual spring cleaning this year, don’t forget to give your home’s exterior some love, too! Take note of the following areas and include these tips in your checklist of things to do:
Roof
Spring is also a good time to examine your roof to see if winter snow and ice have caused any problems that need attention.
– Look for torn or missing shingles that might need replacement or repair.
– Pay particular attention to flashing around chimneys, plumbing vents, and other openings that are prone to leaks. Seal any gaps with roofing cement.
– Cover exposed nail heads with a dab roofing cement.
– Remove leaves, sticks, or other debris that has built up in valleys and against chimneys, porches, or dormers. Source: TodaysHomeowner
Deck
Everybody likes fungus on the deck! Oh wait, no one likes fungus on the deck — or mildew stains, dirt or weather-beaten patches.
It’s tempting to just bleach the whole thing will-nilly, but don’t give in. Pressure wash the deck and — this is easy enough — use an actual deck-cleaner solution.
When you’re done with all the washing, it’s time to restain. There are finishes and colors a-plenty, so you should be able to find whatever it is your heart desires. Look for something with a protective finish to repel water (and UV rays). Source: Home.HowStuffWorks
Other commonly ignored places
Windows: Washing windows and screens will give you a sparkling view of spring even if it’s still a bit too cold to be outside enjoying it as much as you want.
Gutters: Cleaning out rain gutters is a fall chore for many homeowners, but checking them again in the spring will ensure that no debris has become clogged in them during winter storms.
Siding: Pressure wash the siding of your home to remove grime. Be sure to start at the highest points of your home to avoid washing dirt down onto clean areas.
Garage: Cleaning out the garage will give you more space for summer equipment such as bikes, outdoor games, and gardening equipment. This may be a good time to hold a yard sale as well. Source: Cleaning.LoveToKnow
