Spring is just around the corner and that means breathing some new life into your home. It’s the perfect time of year to clean out, freshen up, and do a little bit of redecorating. With so much to do it can be daunting figuring out where to start. Luckily, we have all the tips you need to help you prepare your home for spring!

• Replace or clean HVAC filters
• Clean out your gutters
• Wash your windows (inside and out)
• Touch up any cracked or peeling paint
• Replace smoke detector batteries
