Springtime Homecare Tips
If you live in the Northeast, there are maintenance jobs you should complete in spring or summer to prevent costly repairs and keep your home in top condition.

These maintenance tasks are most important for the Northeast in spring and summer. After a long, cold Northeastern winter, spring is an excellent time to get outside and perform a fresh inspection of the whole house. You should give all your major exterior systems—roof, siding, gutters, drainage—a close examination to make sure they’re working properly and are in good shape.
