There’s something about spring that makes us want to open the windows, shake off the dust, and breathe new life into our homes. While a good deep clean is part of the magic, spring is also the perfect time to take care of the maintenance tasks that help protect your home for the long haul.
We asked Nikki, our Warranty Manager here at Prodigy Homes, to share her top seasonal tips. Here’s what she recommends to keep your home running smoothly and looking fresh this spring.
✅ Safety First
Check the batteries in all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Test all alarms to make sure they’re functioning properly.
Staying on top of these checks helps keep your household safe year-round.
🌬️Take Care of Your Air
Change your HVAC filters to keep air fresh and systems running efficiently. Watch How to HERE.
Tip: Consider setting a reminder to swap filters every 3 months.
Vacuum dryer vents to reduce fire hazards and improve performance.
🏠 Exterior Check-Up
Clean gutters and make sure water is flowing properly from your down spouts to make sure it is going AWAY from the foundation.
Inspect your roof and vents for loose shingles, cracks, or other signs of winter wear.
Power wash windows, siding, and screens to let the sunshine in and freshen up your home’s appearance.
🌿 Yard and Landscaping
Fertilize your lawn to encourage healthy growth.
Trim shrubs, rake leaves, and prep your flower beds for planting.
Bonus: Check for any signs of pests or nests near your home’s foundation.
✨ Little Details That Make a Big Difference
Wipe down baseboards, door handles, light switches, and cabinet fronts.
Touch up paint or caulking in high-traffic areas.
Declutter closets, junk drawers, and storage areas to make space for the season ahead.
A spring refresh doesn’t have to mean an overhaul—but a few focused tasks can go a long way in maintaining the beauty and performance of your home. At Prodigy Homes, we believe a well-maintained home is a happy one. Thanks to Nikki for sharing her go-to tips—we hope they help you get the season started right!
