Spring Home Maintenance Checklist for GTA Homeowners

After a long Ontario winter, your home needs attention. Here is a practical checklist organized by priority.

Priority 1: Prevent Damage

• Clean gutters — winter debris blocks drainage
• Inspect roof — missing shingles from winter storms
• Check foundation — new cracks from freeze-thaw
• Test sump pump — spring thaw brings groundwater

Priority 2: Curb Appeal

• Wash siding — remove winter salt and mildew
• Power wash hardscaping — driveways, walkways, patios
• Clean all windows — inside and out for maximum sunlight
• Clean deck — prepare for outdoor season

Priority 3: Interior Refresh

• Deep clean — behind appliances, cabinets, baseboards
• Replace HVAC filters — crucial after months of heating
• Test smoke/CO detectors — replace batteries
