So when spring comes along, there are a few projects we\u2019ll need to tackle to ensure our outdoor spaces are clean, refreshed and ready for outdoor dining and playing fetch. Not to mention, it\u2019s important to take good care of your home to maintain its health for many years to come!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To help you prepare for the warmer months ahead, we compiled a list of tasks to complete before spring is in full swing!

Make sure your water can properly drain by removing all debris from your gutters and downspouts \u2014\u00a0as well as the drains on your property. You don\u2019t want any water to start building up in your yard or driveway after a heavy rain!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Clean Up Debris From the Yard<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There may be twigs, dead leaves and other debris scattered throughout your yard. Try to remove as much of it as you can, to give your grass and plants the best chance to grow this spring! If you don\u2019t, they may not be able to receive the proper amount of sun, water and air needed to grow strong and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Clean Outdoor Furniture<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Furniture.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-89062\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89062 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Furniture.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Get Your Home + Yard Ready for Spring in Michigan\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Furniture.jpg 850w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Furniture-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Furniture-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re definitely ready for patio season \u2014\u00a0but is our outdoor furniture ready? Wipe down all metal, plastic or wood furniture with warm water and mild soap, and throw any pillows in the wash, if needed. You may want to whip out the power washer if your furniture is caked in dirt and grime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Power Wash Outdoor Surfaces<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While you have the power washer out, wait for a sunny afternoon to clean off all outdoor surfaces, such as your deck, patio, driveway and front porch. It\u2019s amazing how power washing has the ability to completely transform the look of your outdoor spaces!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Inspect Your Roof<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Roof.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-89102\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89102 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Roof.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Get Your Home + Yard Ready for Spring in Michigan\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Roof.jpg 850w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Roof-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Roof-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After harsh winter storms, there may be some damage to your roof that you can\u2019t see from the ground. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to get it fully checked out to make sure everything \u2014\u00a0including the chimney, shingles, skylights, etc. \u2014\u00a0is in top-top shape. This will prevent any leaking and make sure your roof protects your home for many more years to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Check for Damage<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, take a look at the rest of your house, including the siding, windows, trim, gutters, brick and any other exterior features, to make sure there hasn\u2019t been any damage. This is the time to make any repairs, especially now that you will be spending more time outside.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Clean Windows<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-89122\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89122 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows1.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Get Your Home + Yard Ready for Spring in Michigan\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Make sure you can properly see all the hard work you\u2019re doing by cleaning off your windows, both inside and out.

Any weak spots in your piping can lead to pipe bursts as temperatures begin to rise. Check all outdoor plumbing \u2014\u00a0including faucets, heat pump, AC equipment, pool equipment, etc. \u2014\u00a0to make sure it\u2019s all functioning properly. Prevention is key when it comes to plumbing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Trim Trees + Shrubs<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Shrub.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-89112\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89112 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Shrub.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Get Your Home + Yard Ready for Spring in Michigan\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Shrub.jpg 850w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Shrub-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Shrub-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before they are covered with new leaves and blooming flowers, take some time to give your trees and shrubs a light haircut. This will keep them looking tidy and controlled, and encourage new growth down the road. Late winter or early spring is the best time for \u201crejuvenation pruning\u201d \u2014\u00a0light trimming that restores the health of your trees and shrubs. While you\u2019re at it, make sure there are no unruly limbs towering over your house that may come down in the next storm!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Secure Windows + Doors<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Spring is a good time to make sure your home is properly sealed, so when you begin to crank the AC, cool air does not escape, and when the next spring shower comes, no water trickles in. Your windows and doors are a common place for cracks and gaps to form, so make sure they are properly sealed with caulk, both inside and outside your home. Beyond a simple visual inspection, you can perform a \u201csmoke test\u201d to locate any gaps in your exterior doors and windows. Light an incense stick and slowly bring it near the edges of your windows and doors, and if the smoke is sucked in or out of the room, there is a draft that needs filling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Clean Off Your Grill<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Grill.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-89072\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89072 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Grill.jpg\" alt=\"Ways to Get Your Home + Yard Ready for Spring in Michigan\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Grill.jpg 850w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Grill-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/3123lakewood.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Grill-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We can\u2019t wait for grilling season!
