We also have a handy checklist to help your home shine this spring:

🏡 Home Exterior:

• Inspect your roof & gutters 

  Winter weather can take a toll. Check for loose shingles, clear out debris from gutters, & make sure water is flowing away from your foundation.

• Wash siding & windows
  A good wash brings the sparkle back. Use a hose or gentle pressure washer to rinse off salt, grime, and mildew.

• Seal cracks & check caulking
  Walkways, driveways, and window trims often need a little love after a Mid-Atlantic winter. Caulk & seal to prevent moisture damage.

• Freshen up paint & trim
  Touch-ups can go a long way in boosting curb appeal—especially around entryways.

🌿 Yard & Garden:

• Clear winter debris
  Rake up old leaves, fallen branches, & any leftover mulch from last fall.

• Prepare garden beds
  Weed, edge, and add compost or new mulch. This is a great time to plant cool-season veggies (like kale, peas, and lettuce) and early blooming flowers.

• Prune & shape shrubs
  Trim back damaged or overgrown branches before new growth sets in.

• Lawn boost
  Aerate compacted soil, fertilize with a regional blend, and reseed patchy spots for a lush look.

🌷 Porch & Patio:

• Sweep, scrub, & style
  Give patios and decks a good clean. Refresh cushions, shake out rugs, and add pops of color with spring flowers.

• Check lighting & fixtures
  Replace bulbs and wipe down sconces—outdoor lighting brings safety and charm.

♻️ Bonus Tip: Declutter Inside, Too! 

Spring is also a great time to donate winter items, rotate wardrobes, or prep for a yard sale. Local orgs often offer spring pick-ups—make space while making a difference.
