Spring in Austin means warmer weather, longer days, and the perfect time to address winter buildup on your home’s exterior. Here’s a comprehensive checklist to get your property in top shape for the season.
Start with a visual inspection. Walk around your property and note any dark streaks on the roof, green growth on siding, stained concrete, clogged gutters, and dirty outdoor furniture. This assessment helps prioritize your cleaning needs.
Schedule a professional house wash to remove pollen, mold, and winter grime. Austin’s cedar and oak pollen season leaves a film on every exterior surface. A soft wash in early spring removes this buildup and prevents staining.
Don’t forget your hardscapes. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios accumulate oil stains, tire marks, and algae over winter. Professional concrete cleaning restores these surfaces and eliminates slip hazards.
Clean and inspect your gutters. Winter storms deposit leaves and debris that can clog your drainage system. Clear gutters prevent foundation damage, mosquito breeding, and water intrusion during spring storms.
