Spring outdoor home maintenance: how to make your Florida home shine

Add checking gutters, railings and screen enclosure to your spring cleaning checklist

Most homeowners use springtime as the chance to accomplish important household tasks. While the interior of your home is usually the focus of spring cleaning, the outside needs some love too!

Here are three exterior parts of your home you should consider in your spring outdoor home maintenance routine.

1. Gutters

Water damage due to improperly working gutters can cost thousands of dollars in home repairs—something you can avoid by staying diligent in your gutter maintenance. However, water damage isn’t the only sign that it’s time for a gutter upgrade. Learn more here.

Take time this spring to inspect your gutters thoroughly. Our Gutter Inspection Checklist can help!

Don’t have gutters? If you notice pooling water around your home’s foundation or in your yard, it might be time to consider adding them to your home.

2. Railings

If you have railings on your home, there are a few ways you can tell if they need updating. When you inspect them, be sure to look for spots that are worn, rusty, or are not sturdy. Learn more with our handy railing maintenance guide here.

Don’t have railings? Railings can actually add value to your home if you don’t have them already. They offer increased safety and security while also adding a fun, decorative element.

3. Screens

If you have a screen on your porch, patio or lanai, you should include an inspection on your spring outdoor home maintenance checklist.

Be sure to keep an eye out for:

Rusting bolts and screws
Rips and tears
Lifting or loosening
Fading

Don’t have a screen enclosure? If you notice your patio or pool are plagued by insects, pests or debris, installing a screen can help and add to your living space.
