Dreaming of Daffodils: Preparing Your Home for Spring (Even When It’s Snowing!)

It may be snowing outside, but spring is on its way! While winter still has its grip, savvy homeowners know that getting a head start on spring preparation can save time and hassle down the road. At Susan Brewer Service First Real Estate, we’re helping you get your home ready for the warmer months, even if you’re looking out at a winter wonderland.

Don’t Let the Snow Fool You – Start Indoors!

• Declutter and Deep Clean: Use these snowy days to tackle indoor projects you’ve been putting off. Declutter closets, organize storage spaces, and give your home a thorough deep clean. A clean, organized home is a great foundation for any season.
• Inspect and Repair: Winter can take a toll on your home. Check for leaks around windows and doors, inspect plumbing for any signs of freezing damage, and address any interior repairs that need attention.
• Freshen Up Your Space: A fresh coat of paint or new décor can work wonders. Consider lighter, brighter colors to welcome the feeling of spring. Start planning your spring décor and maybe even start some seeds indoors!

Think Ahead – Exterior Prep While You Can:

• Plan Your Landscaping: While you can’t get out in the garden just yet, you can start planning! Research what plants you want to add, sketch out your garden layout, and order seeds or bulbs.
• Assess Winter Damage: As the snow melts, you’ll be able to see any damage winter has caused to your roof, siding, or landscaping. Document any issues and plan for repairs as soon as the weather permits.
• Gather Your Supplies: Get a jump start on gathering your spring cleaning and gardening supplies. This way, you’ll be ready to go as soon as the weather breaks.

Remember, Spring Will Arrive!

While it may be hard to imagine with the current weather, spring will be here before you know it. By taking these steps now, you’ll be well ahead of the game and ready to enjoy the warmer weather and blooming flowers.
