Question 1

What home maintenance should I do in spring?

Accepted Answer

Essential spring maintenance includes: HVAC tune-up and filter change, roof and gutter inspection, check for winter damage (cracks, leaks), test sump pump, inspect foundation for cracks, service lawn mower and irrigation system, check exterior paint and caulking, inspect deck/patio for damage, and schedule pest control treatment.

Question 2

When should I schedule an AC tune-up?

Accepted Answer

Schedule your AC tune-up in March or April, before the summer rush. Early scheduling means better availability, lower prices, and time to address any repairs before you need cooling. A tune-up costs $75-$200 and can prevent $1,000+ emergency repairs in summer.

Question 3

How much does spring storm damage repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary by damage type: roof tarping/temporary repair ($300-$1,000), full roof repair ($500-$3,000), fallen tree removal ($200-$2,000), siding repair ($300-$1,500), window replacement ($300-$1,000 per window). Most storm damage is covered by homeowner's insurance.

Question 4

Is spring a good time for exterior painting?

Accepted Answer

Spring is one of the best times for exterior painting. Ideal conditions are 50-85°F with low humidity and no rain forecast for 24-48 hours. Spring offers mild temperatures and longer daylight hours. Exterior painting costs $3,000-$7,000 for an average home.

Question 5

When should I start pest control for spring?

Accepted Answer

Start pest control in early spring (March-April) before insect populations boom. Spring treatments create a barrier that prevents ants, termites, mosquitoes, and other pests from entering your home. Quarterly treatments ($100-$300/visit) provide year-round protection.

Question 6

How do I check for winter damage to my home?

Accepted Answer

Walk around your home and inspect: roof shingles for damage or missing pieces, gutters for sagging or leaks, foundation for new cracks, exterior paint for peeling or bubbling, windows and doors for drafts, driveway for cracks from frost heaves, and pipes for slow leaks. Address small issues now before they become expensive repairs.
