Spring Home Prep Checklist
By Home & Happy LLC – Greenville, SC
As the days get longer and the weather warms up here in Greenville, spring is the perfect time to give your home a little extra care.
Winter can quietly take a toll on your home—clogged gutters, worn seals, hidden moisture, and small repairs that can turn into bigger problems if left unchecked. A little preventative maintenance now can save you time, money, and stress later.
Here’s our simple, practical guide to getting your home spring-ready.
🧹Clean Out Gutters & Downspouts
Your gutters have likely collected leaves, pine needles, and debris over the winter.
Why it matters:
Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and damage your roof, siding, and even your foundation.
What to do:
Remove debris from gutters and downspouts
Check for sagging or leaks
Make sure water is flowing away from your home
🔍 Inspect Your Roof & Exterior
Winter storms and temperature changes can cause subtle damage.
Look for:
Missing or damaged shingles
Cracks in siding or trim
Peeling paint or exposed wood
Catching these early can prevent costly repairs later.
🚿 Check for Leaks & Water Damage
Freezing temperatures can stress pipes and seals.
Check:
Under sinks and around toilets
Around tubs and showers (caulking and grout)
Ceilings for water stains
Even small leaks can lead to mold or structural issues if ignored.
🌿Refresh Outdoor Spaces
Spring is the season for enjoying your outdoor areas again.
Easy wins:
Pressure wash patios, siding, and driveways
Repair loose fence boards or gates
Clean and reseal decks if needed
A clean outdoor space instantly lifts the feel of your whole home.
🪟Seal Windows & Doors
Air leaks don’t just happen in winter—they affect your cooling costs too.
What to check:
Cracked or missing caulk
Worn weather stripping
Drafts around doors and windows
Proper sealing keeps your home comfortable and energy-efficient.
🔥Dryer Vent & Safety Check
This is one of the most overlooked (and important) tasks.
Why it matters:
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a serious fire risk—and it also makes your dryer work harder.
Tip:
Have your dryer vent professionally cleaned at least once a year.
🛠️Tackle Small Repairs Before They Grow
That loose hinge, small drywall crack, or sticking door? Spring is the time to fix it.
Why now:
Small issues are quick and affordable to repair—but they rarely stay small if ignored.
