Families living in Henderson enjoy the benefits of a mild climate. (In fact, the average yearly snowfall here is 0 inches!) So, it’s easy to see why people who live here enjoy it.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about the new season—spring. It’s March already, and that’s one of the best times to start thinking about new projects you can do around the house.

That might include simple things, like changing your landscaping to add new plants or painting. Other projects, like a new deck or gazebo, are more ambitious.

While all these projects can make your home look better, it’s a good idea to also consider sprinkling in some projects that can help protect your home when stormy weather strikes.

We can’t stop a thunderstorm from hitting our neighborhood. But we can do things to make our homes safer. Here’s what home maintenance experts recommend.

Ideas for Your To-Do List

Here are some simple projects you can knock out over a long weekend:

Ensure your roof is in good shape. You don’t want to let your roof become a problem, so inspect it. Look for missing shingles and signs of leaks. Repair what you find. This will stop roof damage that might go unnoticed until a heavy rain, when water could damage your home.

Check and clean your gutters, if needed. Gutters that aren’t maintained can lead to water damaging your home. You should consider cleaning them every season. It’s one of the best ways to protect your home, and it’s not a difficult project.

Look for problem tree limbs. Cut back overhanging limbs and branches that could cause damage during a storm. These limbs and branches can become projectiles during a storm. They can damage your roof, garage or your siding.
