Springtime is the right time to tackle home repairs and maintenance projects. Start the season with a quick check up to keep homes functioning safely and efficiently.
A backyard beautification movement is sweeping across America. Spring home improvements provide the perfect opportunity to jump on the bandwagon while taking steps
to repair and maintain homes.
Home repair tasks for spring can be divided into five major sections. The five areas to concentrate home maintenance efforts are on home exterior and interior, decks,
walls and fences, home foundation and alarm systems.

The home exterior likely took a beating in the winter so repairs in the spring are focused outdoors. Get on the roof to check shingles for wear and damage.
For homeowners uncomfortable with heights, power lines and the intricacy of rooftops, Handyman Matters is available to safely handle all roof maintenance tasks.
Clean the carpet, check linoleum, treat wood cabinets, re-caulk showers and tubs… this is what spring cleaning is all about! Spring home repair projects are a great way to
chase away winter and make sure that the home interior is ready for warmer weather.

Check walls, ceilings and floors for any discolorations that may indicate water damage and call for larger home improvement jobs as the season progresses.
Air furnaces should be changed to filter out allergens and keep the furnace running efficiently.
Floor vents and ceiling fans should be set for spring. Fans should rotate to push air down in the summer and vents should point directly at living spaces.
Windows should be checked for cracks or breaks for optimum efficiency.

Spring seems made for seeding and feeding the lawn, planting flowers and possibly an herb garden. However, don’t ignore other home repairs in the yard. Check sprinkler zone coverage
and heads for proper operation. Often sprinkler maintenance is as simple as removing any rocks and dirt that may have clogged up the line.
Give decks a good sweep. Spring’s temperature changes will cause wood to expand and contract. If proper home maintenance is not done, boards will loosen and warp.
Check for protruding nails, tighten screws and re-set nails. Decks and railings should also be pressure washed and sealed. While home repair tools and products are out,
do the same for wooden fences.
The condition of the foundation of the home is vital to home structure. Foundation home maintenance will become a high-cost home repair if not treated properly.
As the weather clears up for spring, check concrete for cracks, chips and shifting.
Grinding, caulking and scraping are home repair tasks an owner may prefer to leave to professionals at Handyman Matters. The foundation of a home needs to be
repaired correctly to prevent further issues and expenses. In addition, Handyman Matters will be able to match the surrounding finish and complete the job flawlessly.

On the easier side of spring’s home repair list is to run a simple check of all alarm systems in the home. Make sure the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are working
in every room. Sound the alarm and replace the batteries. Also make sure to test any security alarms installed in the home.
Replacing the batteries of the alarms when changing the clocks for Daylight Savings Time is a great way to remember this small but crucial home maintenance task.
This springtime job is simple, quick and may save the lives of everyone in the home.
Handyman Matters can provide checklist and accomplish all home improvement projects large and small so homeowners can spend more time enjoying the season.
