Home Exterior Spring Cleaning Checklist


June 8, 2021


Have you done your spring cleaning yet? Well, don’t forget to take your cleaning to the exterior of your home too! Get the most out of your landscape these warm-weather months by taking the time to ensure everything is clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy all spring and summer long.

Here’s what you should consider including on your checklist for exterior spring cleaning:

Do An Inspection

Take some time to do a walk around your home and look closely for any issues. Pay close attention to your roof, siding, windows, doors, and decking for signs of leaks, mold, breaks, and other serious damage. Getting any problems addressed and fixed as soon as possible will ensure there isn’t further and more costly damage to your home.

Clean Your Gutters

Spring is the perfect time to give your gutters the maintenance they need! The fall and winter season likely clogged your gutters with leaves, sticks, and other debris that needs to be removed so water can safely flow through and the gutters can adequately do their job. Be careful while up on your ladder, and call a professional if you can’t do the job yourself.

Power Wash

Your home’s exterior surfaces have endured a lot of harsh weather and external conditions that have likely led to dirt build-up and grime. The best way to get a fresh clean is to power wash. Power washing, also referred to as pressure washing, uses a high-pressure water sprayer to easily clean surfaces such as walls, floors, decks, siding, and fences, so they look like new and free of any dirt.

Check Your Garden

Your garden wants to grow beautifully this summer, so give it the TLC it needs. Clear away any weeds or leaves, add fresh soil, trim and prune any shrubs and watch your plant life grow! If you want to do some updating, consider planting more flowers, shrubs, vegetables, and more to get the most out of your landscape and really embrace nature.

Ready Your Entertaining Areas

One of the most enjoyable parts of the warm weather seasons is spending it with friends and family. Outdoor entertaining is great unless your space is dirty and uncomfortable. Whatever you have in your outdoor space, such as couches, tables, fire pits, barbecues, and more, take some time to rake leaves and debris away, clean and disinfect surfaces, and set up any decorations that bring the whole area together.
