Spring is in the air! Or at least it will be here soon with the official start of spring right around the corner. And with the warmer days ahead, it’s time to make sure your Highlands Ranch rental property is ready for the change of seasons. Check off these common spring maintenance items for your rental property to help maintain your home at its best!
Spring Maintenance Checklist for Your Rental Home
HVAC Cleaning/Tune-Up
Stay ahead of the hot weather coming soon by having your HVAC system checked and serviced. Experts recommend having your furnace serviced at least twice per year, once in the Fall and again in the spring. Not only does this help to keep your HVAC system running in tip-top shape, but it also helps to catch any minor issues before they escalate. If your Highlands Ranch rental home also has air conditioning, you can ensure it’s functioning properly before the summer heat waves roll in.
Roof Inspection
After months of ice and snow, spring is a great time to have your roof inspected as well. Doing so helps to catch any damage or leaks before they cause bigger issues. After all, your roof is the greatest guard against the elements in your home and a huge investment to replace. Make sure it’s ready to stand up to the spring showers ahead.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent build-up is one of the leading causes of home fires in the US. And after months of washing and drying cozy sweaters and fluffy blankets, your rental property’s dryer vent needs a little TLC. Schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning sooner rather than later.
Check Gutters
Your gutters are another essential part of your home and can cause significant damage if not properly maintained. Be sure to clear out any debris left over from fall and winter to give your rental a fresh start. Having your gutters cleaned is also a great way to check for any needed repairs simultaneously.
Other Routine Maintenance to Consider
When’s the last time you checked the grout in your rental property’s bathroom? How about the caulking? The weatherstripping? Spring is a great time to complete many of the routine and preventative maintenance that every home needs. From power-washing the exterior to refinishing the deck, from flushing the water heater to having your sewers scoped and cleaned, now is the time to make sure your Highlands Ranch rental home continues to be well-maintained.
