As April rolls in and Texas starts to warm up, it’s the perfect time to give your home a little spring TLC. Regular maintenance not only helps you avoid costly repairs down the line, but it also keeps your home in peak condition—just in time for longer days, backyard BBQs, and sunny weather.
Here are 5 must-do tasks for homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this month:
1. Prep Your HVAC for Summer
It’s no secret—DFW summers are scorching. Before you’re left sweating, schedule a professional HVAC inspection to ensure your AC system is running efficiently. Also, swap out your air filters to improve airflow and air quality in your home.
2. Check Sprinklers & Irrigation Systems
April is when lawns start coming back to life. Turn on your sprinklers to check for any broken or misaligned heads, leaks, or areas of poor coverage. Addressing these early can save you water and ensure your landscaping thrives.
3. Inspect Roof & Gutters After Spring Storms
Spring storms in North Texas often bring hail and high winds. After a storm, do a visual inspection of your roof for missing shingles or damage. Clear out leaves and debris from your gutters so spring rains flow where they should—away from your foundation.
4. Seal Cracks in Driveways & Walkways
Temperature swings can lead to concrete expansion and cracking. Use a quality concrete filler or sealant to fix small cracks now before they turn into larger, more expensive problems.
5. Clean Windows & Screens
Let the sunlight in and enjoy those spring breezes! Wipe down windows, repair or replace screens, and open those windows to air out your home naturally.
Stay Ahead of the Season Staying proactive with seasonal maintenance means fewer surprises and a more comfortable home year-round. Tackle these April tasks now, and you’ll be ready to enjoy all that spring in DFW has to offer.
