Spring is a good time to check your home’s exterior, especially after winter weather and heading into storm season. Small issues now can lead to bigger problems once heavy rain and wind pick up. Here’s a simple Spring Exterior Checklist: • Roofing: Check for missing or lifted shingles—these can allow water to get underneath and cause leaks • Gutters: Make sure they’re clear and draining properly to prevent water from backing up onto your roof or foundation • Siding: Look for cracks or loose panels, which can let moisture in and lead to hidden damage • Windows: Watch for drafts or moisture between panes—this can indicate a broken seal • Decks: Check for loose boards or signs of rot, especially in areas exposed to moisture Taking a few minutes to look things over now can help prevent more costly repairs as spring weather rolls in.
