			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is a wonderful time of year. In Las Vegas, it is the perfect following after our chilly winter and a great prelude before the summer heat hits. With the days being almost idyllic, it is a perfect time to do some Spring Maintenance Tips around the house. </p>
<p>Here is a list to get you started: </p>
<p><strong><em>Air Conditioning</em></strong> – Schedule service with a licensed Heating and Cooling (HVAC) contractor. Air filters should be changed monthly. </p>
<p><strong><em>Roof</em></strong> – Visually inspect for any damage and trim any trees if necessary. Replace any broken tiles. Inspect mastic at all roof penetrations and reseal if necessary. Check all roofing vents for bird nests. Remember, you can hire a licensed roofing contractor to perform an annual roof inspection. </p>
<p><strong><em>Chimney</em></strong> – Visually inspect for any damages to cap, flashing and masonry. </p>
<p><strong><em>Smoke Detectors</em></strong> – Change batteries if necessary. </p>
<p><strong><em>Garage Door Opener</em></strong> – Check operation of unit and lubricate per manufacturers instructions. </p>
<p><strong><em>Exterior</em></strong> – Check condition of paint and caulk. Check metal railings and paint as needed. Check all fascia and trim for deterioration. </p>
<p><strong><em>Clothes Dryer</em></strong> – Clean lint from duct and from unit per manufacturers instructions. </p>
<p><strong><em>Refrigerator </em></strong>– Clean coil, drain pan and check drain. </p>
<p><strong><em>Range Hood</em></strong> – Clean filter and wash blades. </p>
<p><strong><em>Bathroom Exhaust Fans</em></strong> – Clean grill and fan. </p>
<p><strong><em>Bathroom Tile</em></strong> – Check for voids in grout, caulk if necessary. </p>
<p><strong><em>Plumbing </em></strong>– Check for any leaks at fixtures, traps and piping. </p>
<p><strong><em>Shower and Tub Drains</em></strong> – Clean out hair and other debris. </p>
<p><strong><em>Water Heater</em></strong> – Draw sediment from tank as needed. </p>
<p><strong><em>Sprinklers, irrigation</em></strong> – Start system, drain and check for leaking heads or tubing.  </p>
