Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home after a long winter. With warmer weather ahead, it’s important to check both the inside and outside of your home to ensure everything is in top shape. Neighborly®’s trusted home service experts have put together this checklist to help you prepare for the season. If you need a helping hand, Neighborly and its family of home service brands are here to help!

When you download your checklist, you’ll find several helpful reminders for indoor and outdoor Spring maintenance like:

Two story home with front porch and flowers in front and surrounded by trees.

INDOOR

  • Change air filters and inspect air ducts for mold, allergens, or debris. Schedule a professional HVAC tune-up to ensure efficient performance before the heat of summer arrives.
  • Check for peeling paint or outdated colors. A fresh coat can brighten up your home for spring.
  • Organize closets, pantries, and cabinets. Consider adding drawer inserts, spice racks, and other storage solutions to maximize space.
  • Test and replace batteries in smoke detectors, fire alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors. Check fire extinguisher expiration dates and service your generator if needed.

OUTDOOR

  • Test the garage door for smooth operation and inspect the seals for wear. If necessary, consider upgrading to a more secure and stylish door.
  • Start mosquito and tick control services early. Apply preventative pest treatments around your home.
  • Trim trees and shrubs, clear away dead plants and debris, and clean out gutters. Trim any branches near power lines or hanging over your roof.
  • Power wash your home’s exterior, outdoor furniture, driveways, and walkways to remove winter grime and enhance curb appeal.
