Here are five tasks you should have on your to-do list for spring.

• Roof Inspection – From the ground level, scan the roof surface. If you identify any missing or damaged shingles, contact a local roofing contractor. This simple inspection is very important to catch and eliminate leaks and other problems early.
• Clean Gutters and Downspouts – Pooling water on your roof can be caused by clogged gutters and downspouts, leading to leaks and other damage.
• Sprinkler and Irrigation Maintenance – Cold weather can be tough on sprinkler and irrigation systems. One thought is to drain the system in the late fall season to avoid frozen pipes that could burst.  Consider SodPros
• HVAC Check Up – As Spring warms up, so will the use of your HVAC system. It is wise to change your air filters every month. Some manufactures require this for your warranty to be valid. Having your unit(s) check out once a year by a professional is advised. Be sure to keep their service invoice, just in case it is needed to show for warranty purposes.
• Windows and Screens – Cleaning windows and screens allows the outdoors to come indoors. It is amazing how much dirt screens can hold. Check weatherstripping is intact.
