Spring Homeowners Checklist: Refresh Your Home & Review Your Policy

As spring rolls in, it's the perfect time to open the windows, breathe in the fresh air—and give your home a seasonal refresh. At Valentine Insurance, we care about protecting what matters most to you. That’s why we’ve created a quick guide to help you prep your property and ensure your coverage is right where it needs to be.

1. Inspect Your Roof and Gutters
Winter weather can take a toll on your home’s exterior. Check for missing shingles, debris buildup, or gutter damage that might lead to leaks. Taking care of maintenance now can help you avoid expensive repairs and insurance claims later.

2. Check Windows and Doors
Look for cracks or gaps that let air or water seep through. Sealing drafts not only protects your home but can also save on energy costs. High winds and storm damage can cause severe damage. Bonus tip: This is a good time to check that locks and latches are secure for added peace of mind.

3. Clean Around Your HVAC System
Your heating and cooling systems work hard all year. Clear debris, replace filters, and schedule a seasonal tune-up so your unit runs efficiently and reliably.

4. Survey the Foundation and Siding
Walk the perimeter of your home and check for cracks in the foundation or siding damage. These can signal structural issues or moisture intrusion, both of which can affect your home and your policy.

5. Trim Trees and Check Landscaping
The bloom of Spring is beautiful, but overhanging branches and clogged drains can pose risks. Trim limbs away from your roofline and clear out any yard debris to prevent water damage and pests.

6. Review Your Homeowners Policy
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home—it’s probably time to refresh your insurance policy too! Have you made updates to your home? Purchased high-value items? With Valentine Insurance, our team is happy to walk you through your coverage and help adjust your policy as needed to ensure you're fully protected at all times.

7. Prepare for Storm Season
Spring often brings severe weather. Make sure you’re covered for wind, hail, and flooding. Not sure if your current policy includes these? We’re here to help you navigate the fine print and fill in any gaps.

Your peace of mind starts here. Let’s make sure your home—and your policy are ready for spring.
