Spring has officially arrived in Steamboat Springs, and while we’re all ready to trade our snow shovels for hiking boots, it’s also the perfect time to give your home a little extra TLC. After months of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, your home may need some seasonal attention. Whether you’re planning to stay for years or thinking about listing your property this spring, here’s your Spring Home Maintenance Checklist to protect your investment.
Winter snowmelt and spring rainstorms can clog gutters quickly. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris so water can flow away from your home’s foundation.
Heavy snow, ice dams, and falling branches can damage your roof. Look for missing or damaged shingles, signs of leaks, and clear off any remaining debris. Schedule professional roof maintenance if needed.
As the ground thaws, test your irrigation system to ensure it survived the winter. Look for broken sprinkler heads, leaks, or clogged lines and repair them before the growing season begins.
Winter weather can cause cracks, loose boards, or uneven walkways. Check decks, patios, and sidewalks for wear and tear, and make necessary repairs to avoid safety hazards.
Your furnace has worked hard all winter—schedule a spring HVAC tune-up and replace air filters. If you have central A/C, make sure it’s ready to go when summer temperatures rise.
Rake up dead leaves, prune trees and shrubs, and prepare your lawn and garden beds. A well-maintained yard boosts curb appeal and property value—especially if you’re planning to sell.
A little maintenance now will save you time, money, and headaches down the road. Plus, a clean, well-cared-for home is more attractive to spring buyers.
