May

Main project: Tidy up the yard
This is one of the most important tasks to add to your home maintenance checklist. Clear out any remaining waste from the winter period and help your home look fresh and beautiful with added lawn care.

Home maintenance checklist for May:
-Stain your stairs, deck, and other exterior wooden features.
-Check your sprinkler system and make any needed repairs.
-Need a new fridge? This month is when manufacturers tend to roll out their new models for the summer. So you can find an excellent   previous year’s model at a lower price.
-Clean out your rain gutters and downspouts. The average cost for this is around $160, depending on their condition and the height of   your home.
