April has arrived and brought spring with it! There is no better time than now to get
focused on home maintenance and spring cleaning. Here are a few things you can do in April to
protect (and organize) your home.
Check For Damage -
Winter can be really hard on your home.
A quick inspection around your property can reveal a lot of home
improvement projects! Look for any
damage to your roof or outdoor window screens and doors. Make note of chipped paint or areas that are
in need of general maintenance. Decide
what you can do yourself and what will require a professional.
Spring Clean - Now
it’s time to tackle the inside of your home.
Start working on clearing out and donating unused items (think tax
deduction next year!) This could be the
perfect time to take inventory of any high value items that need to be
documented for your insurance, like guns, artwork, and jewelry. Take photos or make a quick video of those
items and store it in a secure (and fire-proof) location.
Organize Your Tax
Documents - You probably just finished your taxes in the past few
weeks. Were all of your documents easy
to locate? What could make the process
even easier next year? Update your
filing system or schedule a meeting with your accountant and get prepared now.
Car Maintenance -
April is Car Care Month. If you’ve been
putting off an oil change or a tune-up, get it scheduled now. Your car will run better and maintain its
value longer!
Spruce Up Your Porch -
How does your front porch look these days?
Could it use a little extra care?
Buy a new welcome mat, plant a pot of flowers, and make sure you can
easily read your house numbers.
