Spring Cleaning for a Fresh Start

At Fasto Roofing, we understand the importance of a thorough spring cleaning to maintain your home in top condition. Here is a comprehensive checklist to ensure your home is ready for the warmer months.

1. Inspections

Foundation to Roof: Inspect all areas from the foundation to the roof. Look for leaks, damaged siding, drafty windows, and roof problems.
Interior Systems: Check your central air, furnace, and air conditioning units to ensure they are functioning properly.

2. Gutter Cleaning

Clear Debris: Clean out gutters to remove leaves and debris accumulated over the winter.
Check for Issues: Inspect for loose fasteners, shaky downspouts, and leaks. Caulk leaks and tighten fasteners as needed.

3. Home Safety Checks

Safety Devices: Test fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and home security systems. Replace batteries and ensure extinguishers are fully charged.
Safety Exits: Ensure all safety exits are clear of obstacles.

4. Spruce Up Landscaping

Yard Maintenance: Clear leaves, pull weeds, and mow the lawn.
Foundation Care: Build up low areas near the foundation to prevent water damage. Use compacted soil to redirect water away from your home.
Fertilization: Use appropriate fertilizers and grass seed for your yard's needs.

5. Pool Maintenance

Inspection: Uncover and inspect the pool for any issues. Repair as needed.
Cleanliness: Clean the water and check the pH balance to ensure it is safe for use.

By following this comprehensive spring cleaning checklist, you can ensure your home is prepared for the spring and summer months. If you require any assistance with roof, skylight, gutter, or siding work, contact Fasto Roofing.
