As winter winds down, it's time to spruce up your home and welcome the freshness of spring. Here's a tailored list of actionable DIY tasks to revitalize your space after the cold season, ensuring it's ready to embrace the warmth and vitality of spring.

Exterior Inspection and Repair:

• Seal any cracks in the foundation, siding, or driveway to prevent water damage.

• Inspect the roof for loose or damaged shingles, repair or replace as needed to prevent leaks.

• Clean and repair gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage to the exterior of your home.

Deep Clean and Declutter (spring cleaning edition):

• Clean light fixtures, ceiling fans, and vents to improve air quality and efficiency. Replace air filters in HVAC systems for optimal performance.

• Seal gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and ducts with weatherstripping or caulking to improve insulation and lower heating and cooling bills.
