Spring is in the air, and it is time to declutter your home. While working through your spring checklist inside your home, be sure to give the outside a makeover as well. Here are a few recommendations to keep your home and common areas looking fresh.
Repair
Simple repairs and maintenance of the common areas will keep your community looking new. Winter storms may have caused damage to areas in your neighborhood. Pressure washing or repainting structures, raking or aerating lawns, and caring for hedges and trees are just a few ways to give your community a spring makeover.
Windows
A simple way to make your community look fresh is to have the windows cleaned. Wash away the winter grime for clear results that your homeowners and neighbors will see instantly. Working with a local window cleaning company to offer a discount will encourage homeowners to clean the windows on their own homes as well.
Leaf Bunnies
A dust bunny’s pesky equivalent is the yard leaf bunny. Raking leaves out of your yard, flowerbeds, and around bushes and trees will tidy up your lawn instantly. Removing dead leaves and trash will make your home look spring-fresh in no time!
Gutters
While April showers bring May flowers, making sure gutters have a clear pathway for the rain is essential. Remove leaves and other debris caused by winter weather from gutters to ensure everything is working smoothly for potential showers.
Patio Furniture
Common areas with patio furniture, such as pools or picnic areas, can easily attract clutter. Take the time to wipe down tables and chairs, remove cobwebs, and make sure chair cushions are in clean, working condition. Homeowners and guests are also susceptible to injuries from damaged furniture, so be sure to replace any broken items in need of repair.
Working with local companies can ensure the work is done and within budget. Sharing a list of preferred vendors with homeowners can also inspire them to maintain their own home and make the community feel spring fresh!
