10 Ways to Care for your Home this Spring

As the temperatures rise and the flowers bloom, spring is the perfect time to give your house some much-needed TLC. Here are 10 ways to care for your house this spring:

1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Your gutters and downspouts may have accumulated leaves, twigs, and other debris that can block the flow of water. This can lead to water damage, so it’s important to clean them out in the spring. Use a ladder to access the gutters and scoop out any debris by hand or with a gutter scoop. Then, use a garden hose to flush out any remaining debris, and check that the downspouts are flowing freely.

2. Check the Roof: Winter weather can take a toll on your roof, so it’s important to check for any damage in the spring. Look for loose or missing shingles and check for any signs of leaks or water damage. If you notice any problems, contact a professional roofer to address them before they become more serious.

Lighting can have a big impact on the design of your home. It can give a room a warm and inviting feel or create a dramatic atmosphere. Proper lighting can also make a room look larger or smaller than it is, depending on how you use it.
