Checklist

Inspect and pressure wash your sidewalks, deck, patio and driveway to clear away the dirt, mould and grime built up over the past year.

Clear your roof, gutters and downspouts so water can flow freely and away from your foundation.

Remove and gently scrub window screens with warm, soapy water, and check that windows and doors seal tightly.

Spritz outdoor bug spray around the perimeter and caulk windows and doors to keep insects out.

Remove dead growth, pull weeds, and lay fresh mulch to keep beds healthy and ready for summer cookouts.

Clean the grates, check hoses for cracks, and position the grill safely away from any structures.
