After a long and cold winter, spring is finally here and the temperature is starting to reflect the season change. Take advantage of the warmer days to get some things done around the house. We’ve put together a list for you so you can get to work!

Clear away winter debris in the yard so that your spring bulbs and other plants can start growing easily. Consider adding a fresh layer of mulch to garden beds too. Planting a few potted flowers can add a little color to your yard while everything else starts to grow.
Clean out your gutters and inspect your roof. Spring can be a rainy season so you’ll want to make sure you won’t have any leaks to worry about!
Go through your closet, particularly your winter clothing. If you didn’t wear something this past season, it’s time to get rid of it! Clear out clothes, shoes, and any other items you no longer wear and donate them.
Consider having a yard sale once the weather is nice enough. Start going through things now and sorting it so that when it is time for your sale, you will be ready to go! Go through your kitchen cabinets, closets, and drawers. Trash the things that aren’t worth selling, organize the rest of your items so you’ll have a good idea of how much stuff you’ll have, and determine if you’ll even have enough to do a sale.
The seasons are changing and that means homeowners should be aware of important items that will make the transition to spring much easier!
As with any season transition, allergies can be the first sign that the weather and environment are changing. With spring, the plants, flowers, and foliage around us will start to bloom and grow, which can mean big problems for seasonal allergies. To help reduce allergic reactions, change your furnace filter. The filter will trap dust and allergens that could be causing irritation, and will ultimately ensure cleaner breathing air in your home if it is clean.
Schedule seasonal HVAC maintenance with your local heating and cooling company. For furnace service, Castle Rock homeowners rely on the team at Matlock Heating & Cooling. Soon we won’t be using our furnaces anymore and we will transition to the use of air conditioners and swamp coolers, so have your furnace checked and tuned up so you aren’t surprised with any issues come next winter.
Check your roof! Spring showers will surely expose any holes in the roof, so if there’s a risk of a leak, make repairs now before it becomes a larger issue. Plant your garden. Start figuring out what you would like to grow in your yard this year, and start planting! It’s a good idea to plant shade trees and plants that will block the sun from the air conditioner, so in the summertime, your AC won’t have to work as hard. If you have existing plants that died over the winter or have dead limbs and shoots, trim or remove them now to allow for new spring growth.
