Clean
You may be wondering how you clean the exterior of your home in the wintertime? Chores like straightening up your home’s patio, backyard, or porch area will allow your property to look its best before any major snowstorms hit, while also preventing any potential weather damage. Take the time to put away any loose pieces of furniture, belongings, or trash to clear up your yard and keep it protected from potential decay. If it is above 40°F, think about power washing the exterior walls of your home if you notice any dirt or grime that may have accumulated over the fall.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting in the winter is not an uncommon way to spruce up your home. With Christmas being one of the most popular times of year to put lighting on the exterior of your home, it is still the perfect time to make your home warm and inviting before spring weather. If you’re looking for a simple way to add lighting to the exterior of your home, placing lights along the pathways leading to your front door or alongside your driveway is perfect for adding curb appeal to your Springfield, IL home this winter.
Home Maintenance
With harsh weather conditions comes the possibility of repairs, whether it’s from snow or pests, the wintertime often brings light to repairs that may have been impossible to notice in spring or summer. Common issues that may need to be inspected by an expert include everything from drafty windows to broken siding and water leaks in your basement or ceiling. It’s important to take care of any home maintenance in the winter so that your home stays warm and cozy all season long. Capital City Home Improvement in Springfield, IL is here to ensure the safety of your home with our expert home improvement services.
