Proper maintenance helps increase curb appeal, preserve property values, and ensures your community remains an attractive and desirable place to live.
Take a walk around the outside of your home and see if any of the following items apply to your home and need attention.
Pressure Wash siding, patios, and/or decks to remove mildew and dirt build-up and keep the surfaces looking fresh.
Clean and organize your porches, patios and/or decks. Most associations require anything left outside, like bicycles, toys, and grills to be stored neatly behind the home when not in use.
Clean screens and windows, screen doors and sliding doors.
Remove leaves and debris from gutters, and ensure water is flowing away from your home.
Check and re-caulk around windows and doors.
Stain wooden surfaces like decks, railings and fences.
Paint shutters, doors, and window trim.
Trim shrubs below windows, away from sidewalks and walkways, and away from your home.
Check that your address numbers are clearly visible on the front of your house.
Check trees, remove broken branches, and trim away from your house. Pull any vine growths off trees and siding.
Remove dead plants from flower beds, pull weeds, and add new mulch or rock as necessary.
Mow the grass, trim around your fence and sidewalks, and clean around your foundation vents.
Clean debris, grass, dust, dirt and spider webs off of and away from your AC compressor.
Check and change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you change the clocks.
Check your air filters and replace them if needed.
Completing these maintenance tasks in the spring keeps your home looking fresh and keeps you from getting a courtesy letter from our office.
