With the days growing longer and brighter, this time of year sparks thoughts of spring cleaning. This annual tradition is an excellent way to breathe life into your home, but it can be hard to know where to start. If you don’t have time to scrub your house from top to bottom, Bulldog Contractors, with locations in Minnesota, Colorado, and Texas, says a few chores will make the biggest impact. Their gutter contractors, custom deck builders, and other home professionals know how to keep your property in top shape.  

A Gutter Contractor Shares 3 Essential Spring Cleaning Tasks

Scrub Windows Inside & Out

Cleaning windows should consist of more than wiping down the glass. Debris also accumulates on the sills and tracks, so it’s essential to give them a thorough scrubbing inside and out. While doing this, look for damage that might indicate replacements from a window contractor are necessary.

Clean Gutters

Cleaning your gutters is important for protecting your roof, foundation, and the structural integrity of your home. It’s critical to remove leaves that collected during the fall and winter and check the system for cracks, loose hangers, and other signs of damage. If there is evidence of a severe problem, call a gutter contractor to inspect your system and recommend repairs or replacement.

Scour Your Deck

If you haven’t used your deck in months, it probably has accumulated leaves, dirt, and other outdoor debris. Sweep the surface clean and check for loose boards. Depending on whether your deck is wood or a composite material, use a suitable cleaning product or power washer to remove grime. If your deck is made of wood, this also is a good time to apply a sealant.

Tackling these jobs will give you long-lasting results from your spring cleaning endeavor.
