1. Deep Clean and Declutter
Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition that not only revitalizes your home but also sets the stage for exciting remodeling projects.
-
Dust and Wipe Down: Get into those hard-to-reach spots like ceiling fans, baseboards, and window sills.
-
Declutter: Go room by room through closets and donate items you no longer need.
-
Clean Windows: Let in that beautiful spring light—mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle for an eco-friendly window cleaner.
Tip: Once your space is decluttered and fresh, consider checking out our General Contracting Services if you’re thinking about revamping any part of your home.
2. Refresh Your Decor
Swap out heavy winter textiles for lighter, brighter pieces that capture the essence of spring:
-
Cushions and Throws: Replace dark pillows and blankets with pastel or floral options.
-
Entryway Updates: Add a new welcome mat and a spring wreath to your front door.
-
Floral Touches: Bring in fresh flowers or houseplants to liven up your space—a vase of tulips or daffodils on the kitchen table makes an inviting focal point.

3. Tend to the Yard
Outdoor spaces are just as important as indoor ones. Get your yard ready for long, sunny days:
-
Cleanup: Rake leaves, remove dead plants, and prepare garden beds.
-
Furniture and Tools: Clean and inspect your outdoor furniture. Check your hose and sprinkler system for any winter damage.
-
Landscape Ideas: If you’re considering outdoor upgrades, learn more about our Home Additions services, which can include decks, porches, or patios to extend your living area.
4. Check Home Maintenance Tasks
Prevent costly repairs by tackling seasonal maintenance early:
-
Inspect: Check your roof and gutters for damage or debris.
-
HVAC and Safety: Change your HVAC filters, schedule an air conditioning tune-up, and test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
-
Plan Ahead: A thorough inspection can save you money and ensure your home remains safe and comfortable.

5. Organize the Garage or Shed
A well-organized space can set the tone for a more efficient home:
-
Store Seasonal Gear: Put away winter tools and accessories, and make summer items like gardening tools and bikes easy to access.
-
Clean Up: Sweep out dirt and salt residue from the garage floor.
-
DIY Projects: Use the opportunity to plan any small-scale renovations or DIY projects. A refreshed garage or shed can be the perfect launchpad for a larger remodel.
