Spring Home Maintenance Checklist

Spring Home Maintenance Checklist
Freshen Up Your Home for the Season

Spring is in the air—and it's the perfect time to shake off winter and get your home ready for the months ahead. Whether you’re settling in for another beautiful Nebraska summer or preparing to sell, seasonal upkeep is key to preserving your home’s value and comfort.

At Gold Group Real Estate, we believe homeownership is a journey—and a little maintenance goes a long way in protecting your investment.

Here’s your Spring Home Maintenance Checklist to keep your home shining bright this season:

EXTERIOR TOUCH-UPS

• Inspect the Roof & Gutters
  Winter can take a toll on shingles and gutters. Look for missing pieces, clogs, or sagging areas. Clean out debris to prevent spring rain from causing water damage.
• Wash Windows & Screens
  Let in that beautiful spring light! Clean windows and check screens for any rips or wear.
• Power Wash Siding, Sidewalks & Decks
  Dirt, mold, and salt residue can dull your exterior. Power washing gives your home an instant curb appeal boost—essential if you're planning to list!
• Check for Exterior Wear
  Look for cracked paint, loose siding, or shifting around the foundation. Early repairs = long-term savings.

YARD & LAWN REVIVAL

• Clean Up Landscaping
  Rake leaves, prune shrubs, and clear out flower beds. Fresh mulch goes a long way in making your yard pop.
• Test Your Irrigation System
  Make sure sprinkler heads are working and adjust timers as needed.
• Get Lawn Equipment Ready
  Sharpen blades, check oil, and test-start everything so you’re not scrambling later.

INTERIOR ESSENTIALS

• Replace HVAC Filters & Schedule a Tune-Up
  Clean filters boost air quality and system efficiency. Schedule a professional check before summer heat sets in.
• Test Smoke & CO Detectors
  Safety first. Replace batteries and test every unit.
• Declutter & Deep Clean
  Open those windows and give your home a reset. Tackle forgotten corners, baseboards, and closets.

BONUS TIPS :

• Inspect weather stripping around windows and doors
• Check the attic and basement for signs of pests or leaks
• Restock emergency kits and batteries
• Clean ceiling fans (they’re about to get a workout!)
