When the weather starts warming up, it’s a sign that spring cleaning is right around the corner. High on the list of spring cleaning chores is window washing. It always feels great to wash your windows. With all smudges and spots eliminated, your view of the world is immediately upgraded!

It’s also a great time to inspect the trim. Keep an eye out for any missing caulk, moisture, actual water leaks and rotting wood. The exterior window frames are especially vulnerable to damage due to constant exposure to sun and precipitation, so make sure you carefully examine the casing, sill and shutters.

By combining two chores at once, you double the reward. Not only will your windows shine, but you will catch and remedy any issues before they become serious.
