Gutters
“Oftentimes, homeowners focus on the inside of their home during spring cleaningbut after a long, harsh winter, its important to evaluate the condition of the exterior of your home as well,” says Flax. “Gutters should be the priority. You want to be sure theyre clean and free of any clogs before the notorious April showers hit. Clogged gutters cause a number of issues throughout spring including water damage, mold, and rotting of your roof and siding, as well as providing a nesting area for squirrels, birds, and mosquitoes.”
