Home Maintenance Tips from Ambiance Atlanta

As the world wakes from its winter slumber, so too should your home! With spring's sunshine peeking through, it's the perfect time to shake off the dust and ensure your abode is ready for warmer days.

Here at Ambiance Atlanta, we believe a well-maintained home is a happy home. So, to help you make the most of the season, we've compiled a list of essential spring maintenance tips:

Exterior Refresh:

• Embrace the Sunshine: Give your windows a thorough cleaning, inside and out, to let the natural light flood in. Don't forget to clean screens for even better clarity and ventilation.

• Spruce Up Your Siding: Wash away winter grime and dirt accumulated on your siding. Use a power washer cautiously, following manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage.

• Inspect and Clear Gutters: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage. Clear them of leaves, debris, and any nesting critters to ensure proper drainage.

• Deck Revival: Give your deck a good cleaning and power washing. Check for loose boards, warped wood, or signs of water damage, and address any issues promptly. Apply a fresh coat of sealant if needed.

• Welcome Blooming Beauty: Get your garden ready for spring! Plant colorful flowers, trim overgrown shrubs, and add fresh mulch for a vibrant curb appeal.

Let There Be Green: Add indoor plants to purify the air and create a vibrant atmosphere.

Interior Renewal:

• Deep Clean Every Nook and Cranny: Spring is the perfect time for a deep clean. Tackle forgotten areas like ceiling fans, baseboards, and under furniture. Consider professional carpet cleaning for a thorough refresh.

• Filter Freedom: Replace air filters in your HVAC system to improve air quality and efficiency. Clean or replace furnace filters, too.

• Let the Air Flow: Open windows and doors whenever possible to circulate fresh air and eliminate winter stuffiness.

• Appliance Checkup: Inspect major appliances like refrigerators, ovens, and washers for any unusual noises, leaks, or reduced performance. Schedule professional maintenance if needed.

• Safety First: Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, replacing batteries if necessary.

Bonus Tips:

• Embrace Natural Light: Open curtains and blinds during the day to maximize natural light and reduce reliance on artificial lighting.

• Let There Be Green: Add indoor plants to purify the air and create a vibrant atmosphere.

• Don't Forget the Roof: Have a professional inspect your roof for any damage caused by winter weather. Early detection and repair can prevent costly problems later.

By following these recommendations, you'll ensure your home is not only beautiful and comfortable but also safe and functional throughout the spring and summer months.
