Spring home maintenance checklist for La Grange, KY homes

Spring is when a house shows you what winter did to it. Once the snow is gone and the rain arrives, small problems around homes in La Grange, Crestwood, Prospect and Goshen get easier to spot and cheaper to deal with.

Here are six things to check on your home this spring. They are part of the exterior walkthrough on our seasonal home maintenance visits, and a maintenance plan brings them back around every year.

  • Look for winter damage on siding

    Wind and ice can leave loose panels and open seams that are easy to miss until the spring rains start.

  • Check brick and mortar after the freeze

    Thawing often reveals joints that crumbled over the winter, plus brick faces that have started to flake.

  • Watch the foundation during spring rain

    Heavy showers show where water collects, so note any pooling and new cracks along the base of the house.

  • Inspect window frames and screens

    Screens go back to work soon. Look for tears, soft sills and caulk that pulled away during the cold.

  • Find new cracks in the driveway and walks

    A winter of freezing and thawing can lift slabs and open cracks, which are simpler to deal with when small.

  • Test deck boards and porch rails

    Before patio season, check for wobbly railings, raised boards and wood that stayed wet all winter.

11 POINTS AROUND YOUR HOUSE

Spring exterior home inspection checklist for Oldham County, KY

Winter is over, so what did it leave behind? Your spring visit includes our 11-point exterior walkthrough, and it is often the first close look anyone has taken at the outside of the house in months.

Here are six more places to look as the weather warms up. Our notes and photos go into your report, so you can compare them with your winter visit and spot changes.

  • Check gutters and downspouts after winter

    From the ground, look for sagging runs and loose downspouts that ice or wet snow may have pulled away.

  • Watch how water drains around the house

    Spring storms show where the yard slopes the wrong way and where water sits by the walls.

  • Look for heaved patio stones and pavers

    Frost can lift pieces out of line, and the first warm weekend is when you trip over them.

  • Check porch steps before guests arrive

    Winter moisture can loosen treads and handrails on the way up to your front door.

  • Inspect fence posts after the thaw

    Soft spring ground can show which posts took a beating from wind and frost this year.

  • Reset the mailbox after plow season

    Passing plows and packed snow can leave the post leaning and the box door out of alignment.

All 11 points: siding, brick and mortar, foundation, windows, driveway, porch, decks, patio, concrete and walkways, fence and gates, and mailbox. Learn more about seasonal home care.

Think of this as an upkeep check. A home sale or insurance claim may call for a licensed inspector instead. If something needs a specialist, members can ask us for contractor help.

AIRFLOW AND RAINWATER

Dryer vent cleaning and downspout checks in La Grange, KY

Two small things can cause outsized trouble around a house: lint with nowhere to go and rain with nowhere to drain. Spring is a good time to look at both, and our seasonal home care visit does.

Dryer vent cleaning near Louisville

A year of laundry sends a lot of lint into the vent, and poor airflow makes your dryer work harder. Most guidance says to clean a dryer vent at least once a year, and it is on our spring list.

How to tell if a dryer vent is clogged

  • A normal load keeps needing another round
  • Clothes come out unusually hot
  • Lint collects around the outside hood
  • A burning smell means stop and have it checked

Downspout drainage after spring rain

A downspout should carry roof water away from your foundation. Our spring walkthrough looks at the base of the house, and anything we see goes into your photo report.

How to tell a downspout needs attention

  • Soil is washing out below the outlet
  • Water keeps pooling against the wall
  • The downspout has pulled loose from the house
  • Water spills over the gutter instead of draining

Gutter and downspout cleaning is part of our fall visit. If something needs repair in spring, ask us about a small fix, or members can ask us for contractor help.

SPRING HOME MAINTENANCE FAQ

Dryer vent, window and spring upkeep answers for Oldham County

What things cost, what the spring visit covers and what belongs with another pro. See how the four seasonal visits fit together, or call 502-248-9333.

How much does dryer vent cleaning cost near Louisville, KY?

We do not list a vent-only price. It comes with the spring visit, which is part of the $299-a-quarter HomeSteady Care Membership or starts at $399 as a single visit, along with the rest of the spring list.

How long does a dryer vent cleaning take?

It varies with the length of the vent run and how much lint is in it. Your visit time depends on the full spring list, so ask us about your home when you book.

How much does window cleaning cost in La Grange?

Spring window cleaning is part of the visit price, not a charge per window. How many windows and how high we can safely go is confirmed for your house before we schedule.

Can you clean second-story windows?

It depends on the house and what we can reach safely. Call 502-248-9333 and tell us about your home before you book.

Can you put a range hood filter in the dishwasher?

Many metal mesh filters can go in the dishwasher, but check your owner’s manual first. Charcoal filters usually cannot be washed and need replacing instead.

Do you clean the range hood and ductwork?

No. We clean the filter on your spring visit. Hood repairs and ductwork belong with an appliance or HVAC company, and HomeSteady Care members can get our help finding one.

How do you clean a trash can with maggots?

Empty it, rinse it well, then wash with hot soapy water and a disinfectant, and let it dry in the sun. Keeping bags tied helps prevent it. One standard can cleaning is part of your spring visit.

Do you offer trash can cleaning on its own?

One standard cleaning comes with the spring visit. To ask about a cleaning without a visit, or more than one a year, give us a call.

Should gutters be cleaned in the spring?

Spring cleaning can help after a messy winter, especially near trees that drop seeds and blossoms. Our gutter and downspout cleaning is on the fall visit, and we note what we see on the spring walkthrough.

Does the spring visit include an AC tune-up?

No. We replace the HVAC air filter with one you leave for us, or one we buy and charge separately. The outdoor coil cleaning is on the summer visit. For a spring AC tune-up, call an HVAC company.
