Spring Home Maintenance Guide for Gretna

Spring is the time to get ahead of the heat and storm season in Gretna. Homes here face classic West Bank homes with mature trees and older construction, so a focused spring tune-up pays off.

Clean and inspect outside

In Gretna, start by clearing gutters, inspecting the roof and flashing, and washing siding to remove winter mildew. This sets you up for storm season.

Seal and service

Re-caulk windows and doors, service the AC before peak heat, and check exterior paint and wood for early wear.

Handle small repairs

Knock out the small punch-list items now — loose hardware, sticking doors, minor leaks — before summer makes them worse.
