Simple maintenance habits can go a long way toward preserving your home’s beauty and value. Here are a couple of good places to start: 1. Wash your home’s exterior. One of the easiest ways to maintain your home’s appearance is to wash it periodically, especially after it has been painted. Rain alone can rinse off some surface dirt, but there are also specialized products that help the paint clean itself when it rains. These solutions reduce buildup of dust and grime, keeping your home looking freshly painted for years. 2. Clean your gutters. Gutters are often overlooked, but they play a vital role in protecting your home. When gutters get clogged with leaves and debris, water can overflow and damage your siding, foundation, and landscaping. Cleaning your gutters at least twice a year (spring and fall) will help water flow properly and prevent future issues.
