Warm weather and longer days are right around the corner but before you can kick back on a balmy evening with a cool drink, you’ve got to get your home in shape. The month of March is the perfect time for maintenance projects that can extend the longevity and quality of your home. This article by realtor.com features a handy checklist of home maintenance chores to fully prepare your home for the spring and summer months.
