From Top Denver Real Estate Agent Randy Jeffrey
Spring is finally here in Denver, CO, and as the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to give your home some much-needed attention. As a trusted Denver Realtor®, I always remind my clients that proper home maintenance not only protects your investment but also helps retain — and even increase — your home’s value.
To help you get started, I’ve put together this essential spring home maintenance checklist tailored specifically for Denver homeowners.
1. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters — Protect Your Home from Spring Storms
Denver’s winters can be tough on roofs, and springtime storms add even more wear.
Check for missing or damaged shingles Clear debris from gutters and downspouts Ensure water flows away from your foundation to prevent leaks
Randy’s Tip: “A simple gutter cleaning now can save you thousands in water damage repairs later.”
2. Check Your Sprinkler System — Get Your Lawn Ready to Shine
Spring is when lawn care kicks off, and a properly working sprinkler system is key.
Turn on your system and check for leaks or broken sprinkler heads Adjust spray patterns to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways Test your backflow preventer to ensure water safety
Bonus: “Consider adding smart sprinkler timers to save on water bills.”
3. Inspect Windows and Doors — Boost Energy Efficiency
Cold winters and hot summers in Denver mean energy efficiency matters.
Check for drafts and seal gaps with weatherstripping Inspect window screens for holes or tears Clean window tracks and lubricate sliding doors
Randy’s Advice: “Well-sealed windows help keep utility bills in check and your home more comfortable.”
4. Service Your HVAC System — Stay Cool All Summer
Before Denver’s heat kicks in, make sure your air conditioning system is ready to go.
Replace HVAC filters Schedule a professional tune-up for your AC unit Clean vents and check for any blockages
Pro Tip: “Regular maintenance extends the life of your HVAC system and avoids mid-summer breakdowns.”
5. Tidy Up Landscaping — Boost Curb Appeal
First impressions matter — whether you’re selling your home or just keeping it beautiful.
Trim overgrown shrubs and trees Freshen up mulch beds and plant seasonal flowers Power wash walkways, patios, and driveways
Randy’s Reminder: “Great curb appeal not only makes you proud of your home — it increases your home’s market value too.”
6. Check Exterior Paint and Siding — Keep It Looking Sharp
Denver’s sun and snow can wear down exterior finishes.
Look for peeling paint or damaged siding Touch up areas as needed or consider a full repaint if needed Inspect caulking around windows and doors
Randy’s Pro Tip: “Maintaining paint and siding protects your home from the elements and improves resale value.”
7. Test Safety Devices — Stay Safe All Year
Spring is a great time to double-check all safety measures.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors Check fire extinguishers and replace if expired Inspect home security systems and outdoor lighting
Final Thoughts: Keep Your Denver Home in Top Shape This Spring
