Time for spring cleaning and home maintenance which includes checking your windows for broken seals (fogged windows) and torn/missing screens. especially if your are considering selling your home anytime soon. The new FAR contract, which most Realtors use, no longer considers these items a cosmetic issue and must be corrected prior to closing of a sale. A big surprise to me recently!  So don’t forget to check your windows for a fogged appearance…not considered “structurally sound & water-tight.” May I suggest calling Guys Glass to get windows repaird. (They did mine at a very reasonable price.)

While your are checking for maintenance issues this spring, don’t forget to look for wood-rot at the base of exterior doors. This is usually caused by rainwater splash over time. Keep in mind that this is a perfect environment for attracting termites. OH NO! After the repair, think about adding gutters to prevent future decay. (because it will happen again)

So trim those bushes, wash those windows, add some flowers and try painting the front door a new color….makes a great first impression all year round!
