Thinking Spring: Getting Your Home Ready for the Season Ahead
Groundhog Day may have come and gone, with or without a shadow, but one thing is certain: spring is on its way. Even while winter lingers, it’s a great time to think ahead to warmer days, longer evenings, and enjoying your home both inside and out.
It’s also the perfect season to check in on your home and make small plans that can pay off once spring arrives!
Step 1: Take a Quick Post-Winter Look
Winter can be tough on your home’s exterior. Roofs, decks, doors, and windows all face snow, ice, and fluctuating temperatures.
Here’s look for:
Roof: Shingles that are curling, uneven, or missing
Deck: Boards that feel soft or uneven, or railings that may be loose
Doors: Exterior doors that stick, feel drafty, or have worn weather stripping
Windows: Foggy panes, damaged seals, or drafty areas
You don’t need to act immediately, simply knowing the state of your home is the first step toward peace of mind!
Step 2: Consider Comfort & Use
Spring is a season for enjoying your home. Ask yourself:
Are your doors and windows keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient?
Does your deck feel safe and ready for gatherings?
Is your roof prepared for spring rains?
Even small improvements can make your home feel fresher, more functional, and ready for the season ahead.
Step 3: Plan Ahead for Larger Projects
For those thinking about bigger updates, like home additions, roof and deck repairs, or new doors and windows, early planning is helpful. With potential interest rate changes later this year, now is a smart time to gather information, get guidance, and explore options.
Starting the conversation early doesn’t mean you have to act now, it simply gives you clarity and flexibility when the timing feels right.
Step 4: Take Simple Steps Today
Even small notes or observations now can make a big difference later:
Keep a list of what you notice on your roof, deck, doors, or windows
Snap a few photos to reference when considering updates
Ask questions or schedule a consultation so you’re ready when the season arrives!
