Must-Do Home Repairs for Spring

Ready for summer? Spring is the best time to look around the house and see what needs cleaning or repair. Over the winter, we often get icy weather, high winds and rain. Your home may have lost a few roofing tiles. You could have leaky pipes. Before we gear up for summer, take on a few home improvement projects.

Home Repairs

Loose boards on a porch or deck can be a hazard. Walk around the house and look for loose boards, then go ahead and repair them. Usually, this is an easy fix, using only a hammer, screwdriver, nails and screws. Don’t forget to paint the new boards as well. Paint helps to protect wood from damage.

The warm weather and longer days make it easy to overdo it and this can result in waking up with aches and pains the next day. To avoid this, limit your work time to a specific time length. If you’re an early riser, then you might work from 8am to noon on a Saturday. Then take some time off for relaxing or a nap. You can always go back out and work for a few hours in the afternoon.

Own a boat?

Spring is a good time to check out your boat or RV for damage and get it ready for summer. Replacing old cushions is an easy fix and it’s not expensive. You’ll find replacement cushions for chairs, sofas, boats and motor homes at The Foam Factory. Once you get things cleaned up and repaired, you’ll be ready for a fun, relaxing summer.
