Is it a good idea to do maintenance on windows and doors before spring?

Maintaining windows and doors before spring arrives is not just good practice; it's essential for ensuring your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and security as the seasons change. Winter can be harsh on your home's exteriors, including windows and doors, potentially leading to wear and damage. Addressing these issues before spring can help you avoid discomfort and higher energy bills during the warmer months.

Firstly, drafts and leaks around windows and doors can significantly affect your home's ability to maintain a consistent temperature. Cold drafts that were merely uncomfortable in winter can turn into problematic hot spots in spring and summer, making your air conditioning work harder and increasing energy consumption. Inspecting seals and caulking for damage and wear and replacing them as needed can prevent these issues, ensuring your home stays comfortable and energy-efficient.

Moreover, damaged screens can detract from one of spring's greatest pleasures: fresh air. Ensuring screens are intact and free from holes is crucial for keeping insects out while allowing you to enjoy the cool breezes. Additionally, well-maintained windows and doors enhance your home's security and aesthetic appeal, contributing to overall curb appeal and potentially increasing your home's value. Preparing your windows and doors for spring is a proactive measure that ensures your home is ready to face the warmer months comfortably and efficiently.
