The spring season in the North Charleston, SC area can be fraught with both natural and manmade hazards that can affect your beautiful Indigo Palms home.

So, to help combat them, we wanted to give you a quick home maintenance checklist to help protect your home during this season.

Check Your Roof
Regardless of whether you have shingles, it is good practice to spot check for any cracks or holes early to prevent potential water damages. This can occur during storms, especially during the late spring and summer seasons.

Replace Your Filters
Although it’s recommended that HVAC filters be replaced every thirty days or so, it’s easy to forget about something so seemingly innocuous. Unfortunately, if filters go unchecked for too long, it can cause long-term damage to the entire system, leaving you in a sweaty situation as temperatures rise.

Apply a Fresh Coat
If you live in an area that gets an inordinate amount of sunlight throughout the year, your home’s exterior can take a beating. Now’s a good time to consider a new coat of paint to freshen up the look of your home, while increasing its overall value in the process. 

Prep the Mower
With summer not too far behind, there’s no better time to clean and prep your lawn mower for double duty. The rainiest time of the year in the Lowcountry is usually during the early summer, which means your grass will grow much quicker than usual.

Clean the Gutters
Much of the detritus from fall and winter have made a nice home in your gutters by the time spring rolls around, so don’t forget to get up there and give them a good cleaning, not only in preparation for the rainy season, but also to reduce the added weight that’s been accumulating since the last cleaning.

This time of year is nothing less than perfection in the Lowcountry. The time for more afternoon walks on the Battery, playdates in the local park, nights out on the town, and fewer stressful phone calls to roofers, plumbers and painters.

Take a few extra precautions now, and save yourself a mountain of home repair headaches later.
