March

Main project: Power wash
A home maintenance checklist can be daunting. But clearing away the winter filth by renting a power-washer or hiring someone to power-wash your exterior and driveway s essential.

Mold and algae tend to grow on homes with a lot of shade, which may require an added treatment with moldicide.

Either way, you’ll want to take the term spring cleaning to heart and start on the outside. Experts recommend a 40-degree angle or a low-pressure nozzle for easily damaged surfaces like stucco or wood.

Home maintenance checklist for March:
-Inspect your roof for rotting, missing shingles, and any gaps that might have materialized due to winter weather.
-Test your sump pump. Pour water into the pit and see if that triggers the pump.
-Change the battery in your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
-Add mulch to your flower beds, and remove weeds. Buyers care more about landscaping and backyard space during the springtime.   Bright plants and fresh mulch enhance curb appeal.
