Spring in North and South Carolina brings unique challenges, from pollen buildup to coastal weather concerns. Proper seasonal maintenance protects your investment and prevents costly repairs. The Sharpe Mortgage Team has compiled this essential checklist to keep your home in top shape.

Exterior Maintenance

• Roof & Gutters: Check for damaged shingles, clean gutters, and ensure proper drainage.
• Foundation & Structure: Inspect for cracks, moisture issues, and deck stability.
• Landscaping: Trim trees, clear drainage, and prep lawn equipment.

Interior Systems

• HVAC: Schedule servicing, replace filters, and test cooling systems.
• Plumbing: Check for leaks, flush the water heater, and inspect caulking.
• Safety: Test smoke detectors, check fire extinguishers, and review emergency plans.

Carolina-Specific Considerations

• Humidity: Look for mold, maintain dehumidifiers, and check for condensation issues.
• Storm Prep: Trim branches, review insurance, and update emergency kits.
• Pest Control: Inspect screens, seal openings, and check for termite activity.
