Repair and Restore: Simple Spring Fixes Around the House​

As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, spring is the perfect time to tackle those home maintenance projects that have been on your to-do list. From refreshing your home's exterior to ensuring your tools are in top shape, Taylor's Do it Centers offers a wide range of products to help you repair and restore your home this season.​

Your deck is an essential outdoor living space that requires regular maintenance. Begin by removing debris either sweeping or blowing debris off with a leaf blower. Then you’ll want to give it a good cleaning either by using a power washer or by using a deck wash.

Once dry, apply a high-quality sealant or deck stain to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage. At Taylor's, we offer a large selection of deck stain colors and sealants at any of our neighborhood locations to keep your deck looking its best.​

Spring is a great time to refresh your home’s exterior by washing away any grime or dirt that built up over winter. One quick and effective way to tackle mold, mildew, and algae is by using 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner.  This specialty cleaner works wonders on house siding, concrete, brick, or even fencing.  

30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner is incredibly easy to use: simply spray it on, wait 30 seconds, and then rinse the cleaner off to reveal a polished surface. With no heavy scrubbing required, it’s the perfect cleaner to brighten your curb appeal, patio, or pool area in seconds.

A great thing to do in the spring is to make sure your lawn mower and other yard tools are ready for the upcoming busy season. Tasks like changing the oil, replacing spark plugs, and sharpening blades as necessary can make all the difference during summer. 

At Taylor's, we provide various maintenance services such as knife and tool sharpening or STIHL repairs. Check out our full list of services here and contact us today to see how we can help improve your equipment.

Proper weatherstripping helps maintain your home's energy efficiency by sealing gaps around doors and windows. Inspect existing weatherstripping for wear and replace it if needed. From felt weatherstripping to vinyl nail-on weatherstirps—you’ll be glad you sealed your home this spring as temperatures continue to rise.

Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and foundation issues. Set aside time this spring to remove any leaves and debris from your gutters to ensure downspouts direct water away from your home. Gutter cleaning wands, such as the Orbit X-Stream or STIHL Blower Gutter Cleaner, make this task a lot easier.​

A well-organized garage can make your home projects, yardwork, and outdoor entertaining more efficient. Install shelving, pegboards, and storage bins to keep tools and supplies in order. This spring, explore Taylor’s variety of organizational solutions to help maximize your garage space.

By scratching these simple spring tasks off your to-do list, you can enhance your home's appearance, functionality, and safety. Visit Taylor's Do it Centers to find the expert advice you need to complete your home maintenance projects this season.​
