Spring will officially be here this month! Our team at Home Run Improvement has put together a list of a few great exterior spring cleaning tips to bring you comfort throughout the summer season!


Spring is the perfect time to give the exterior of your home a thorough cleaning to prevent damage, increase the lifespan of your home's exterior features, and enhance its curb appeal. By following these simple tips, you can keep your home in top condition and enjoy it for years to come.


Springtime To-Do List for the Exterior of Your Home:


Check Screens and Reinstall: Check each window and door screen for tears, holes, and other damage so you're ready to enjoy the spring breeze!


Inspect the Roof and Clean out Gutters: Ensure no shingles are missing from recent wind storms, and that all gutters and downspouts are clear of debris from fall leaves and debris. Check inside the gutters to see if granules are filled up from aged shingles. Home Run Improvement can provide free assessments of the roof age and replacement if needed.


Wash Windows and Screens: Including window sills and clean blinds. Inspect windows for replacement or repairs.


Pressure Wash the Siding on Your Home: Use a diluted form of Simple Green cleaner. Hot water can damage the siding. But for extensive residue, mix a general-purpose cleaner or one-part Simple Green Oxy outdoor cleaner and 15 parts water (about one cup per gallon of water) and load in a power washer. Be sure to start at the highest points of your home to avoid washing dirt down onto clean areas. If you plan on pressure washing your siding, do so BEFORE you wash the exterior windows, or you’ll just ruin what you just cleaned.


Power Wash the Deck: If you have a wood deck, inspect the wood for signs of rot or decay and make repairs as necessary. Sweep first, then scrub the wood with oxalic acid to kill microbes and re-stain the deck if needed. For composite decks, power wash to remove dirt, debris, and stains. For a concrete patio, check for chips or cracks that need repair and scrub away any stains. For any replacements, consider using Home Run Improvement.


By following these simple spring cleaning tips, you can keep your home in top condition and enjoy it for years to come. If your spring home preparation is beyond a little spring cleaning, Home Run Improvement is here to help.

The Challenge The homeowners wanted to remove an aging deck and replace it with a larger, upgraded outdoor living space. Their vision included a custom deck design with a dedicated wall for mounting a TV, as well as a brand-new patio installed in front of the deck to create a functional entertaining area. They needed a contractor who could manage both elements clearly, communicate well, and deliver high-end results without surprises. The Solution Home Run Improvement began with an on-site consultation led by Michael, who worked closely with the homeowners to understand their goals and explore design options. To ensure the patio was executed at the highest level, Henry, a trusted patio partner, joined the planning process to walk through materials, layout, and construction details. The team proposed creative enhancements, provided a transparent and detailed estimate, and outlined a clear project timeline from the start. As additional features were added during construction, all cost changes were communicated immediately, keeping expectations aligned at every step. Premium materials were selected to ensure long-term performance and visual impact, including TimberTech decking and Unilock stone for the patio. The Process Daily on-time arrival and consistent progress Ongoing check-ins to confirm design details and homeowner satisfaction Clear communication on timeline and budget adjustments Skilled craftsmanship across decking, structural work, and hardscaping The project stayed on schedule, and the final cost matched the agreed-upon estimate exactly. The Results The completed deck and patio exceeded expectations. The expanded deck created a perfect space for entertaining, complete with a TV-ready wall, while the new patio added flow to the outdoor area. The homeowners were left with a high-quality outdoor living space built to last. Client Outcome The homeowners praised Home Run Improvement for exceptional professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail, noting the quality of materials, the consistency of communication, and the craftsmanship throughout the project. They highly recommend Home Run Improvement and were thrilled with the final result.
