Spring is officially here, and as any homeowners knows, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and tackle some annual home maintenance tasks. Consumer Reports put this great list together last year. It includes tips for:

• Cleaning household filters
• De-griming countertop appliances
• Washing windows
• Prepping your lawn mower
• Sprucing up your Lawn
• Getting your gas grill ready
• Pressure washing your deck (or porch)
• Organizing your garage
• Checking your tires

For a good year-round home maintenance checklist, the American Society of Home Inspectors has a comprehensive list of tasks and suggests as to whether they should be completed periodically, in the spring or in the fall.
