Spring Home Maintenance Checklist

Preventive maintenance protects value, safety, and insurance eligibility, especially in coastal Pinellas. Use this Florida-focused checklist to get your home spring-ready.

Roof & Exterior

Inspect shingles, tiles, soffits, fascia, and flashing. Clear gutters and downspouts.

Trim trees away from the roof and power lines. Check fencing, gates, exterior paint, stucco, and siding.

Pressure-wash algae and mildew carefully, avoiding damage to softer surfaces.

HVAC & Indoor Systems

Replace HVAC filters and schedule a professional tune-up before summer heat.

Service the water heater, check plumbing for leaks, and test GFCI outlets.

Clean dryer vents and refrigerator coils for safety and efficiency.

Windows, Doors & Pests

Re-caulk and weatherstrip where needed. Repair screens and test hurricane shutters.

Seal gaps and treat for termites or pests. Keep mulch away from the foundation.

Insurance & Storm Prep

Review insurance coverage, deductibles, and possible wind mitigation discounts.

Photograph valuables, refresh emergency kits, and update important contact lists.
