Late-Spring Exterior Maintenance: Staying Ahead of Summer Issues
Introduction
As the final cool breezes of spring fade in Victoria BC, it’s time to prepare your home for the hotter, sunnier months. Exterior maintenance late spring can prevent issues like peeling paint, clogged gutters, and roof moss from escalating over the summer. With a simple checklist of tasks, you can ensure your property continues to look good and function smoothly, no matter how hot it gets.
1. Gutter Clean and Check
Clear Debris: Leaves and twigs from spring storms can clog downspouts.
Secure Fastenings: Inspect gutter brackets before heavier summer showers arrive.
Consider Gutter Guards: If spring cleaning is a recurring headache, guards may offer relief.
2. Roof Inspection
Moss or Algae Buildup: Late spring is prime time for soft washing before summer heat arrives.
Shingle Damage: Spot repairs now can prevent leaks during rainy spells.

Pressure or Soft Wash: Remove pollen and mold residues from siding, so it can truly look good in the summer sun.
