Spring Cleaning: Refresh Your Home with ProActive Home Concierge
February 25, 2025As the snow melts and the days get longer, spring is the perfect time to give your home the attention it deserves after a long winter. At ProActive Home Concierge, we know that spring maintenance can feel overwhelming—especially for second homeowners and short-term rental property owners. That’s why we’ve put together a practical, region-specific spring checklist to keep your property safe, functional, and beautiful.
Whether you own a ski chalet in Boyne Falls, MI, a lakefront rental in Delavan, WI, or a weekend retreat outside Chicago, this guide is tailored for you.
🌿 Top Spring Maintenance Tasks You Shouldn’t Ignore
1. Gutter & Drainage Cleanup Winter leaves behind debris that can clog gutters and downspouts. In areas like Boyne City and Lake Geneva, where spring rain is common, proper drainage is critical to prevent water damage.
2. HVAC & A/C Tune-Ups Before the summer heat arrives, make sure your air conditioning system is inspected and filters replaced. We recommend scheduling service in April or early May to beat the rush in the Chicagoland area.
3. Power Washing & Exterior Prep Salt, snow, and ice can stain and damage siding, decks, and patios. Power washing is a must for Wisconsin lake homes and Michigan ski properties looking to freshen up for the season.
4. Dock & Boat Lift Reinstallation For homes on Delavan Lake or near Torch Lake, now’s the time to get your dock and lift back in place—before the busy Memorial Day weekend.
5. Pest Prevention Spring is prime time for critters to make their way into attics, crawlspaces, and garages. ProActive offers proactive pest barrier treatments, especially critical for wooded areas in Northern Michigan.
6. Landscaping & Lawn Revival Winter can be brutal on your landscaping. We help our clients get a jumpstart with fertilizing, pruning, and mulching services—plus irrigation startup and smart system checks for urban homes in Chicago and larger estates in South Wisconsin.
7. Safety Checks Test smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and sump pumps. If your property is vacant for part of the year, we suggest installing or checking smart monitoring systems for leaks, temperature drops, and break-ins.
