Springtime Home Maintenance Checklist
At Fasto Roofing, we know that spring is a great time to inspect and maintain your home. Here’s a checklist to ensure your home is ready for the new season.
1. Inspect Gutters and Downspouts
Loose or Leaking Gutters: Check for any loose or leaking gutters. Properly installed downspouts are essential to divert water away from your home.
Prevent Water Damage: Ensure your gutters are ready for spring rains to protect your home from water damage.
2. Check Windows and Doors
Exposed Wood and Gaps: Inspect for any exposed wood or gaps around windows and doors. These can lead to water leaks and damage.
Seal and Repair: Fix any gaps to prevent rainwater from entering your home.
3. Examine the Roof
Loose or Missing Shingles: Walk around your home and look for loose or missing shingles. Winter weather can cause significant damage to your roof.

Metal Flashing: Check the flashing around your chimney for gaps, buckling, or cracks.
Prevent Leaks: Seal any problematic areas to avoid potential leaks and interior damage.
