Warm weather is here, so what better time to get started on some home repairs. For most homeowners, the winter snow and rain left water leaks, clogged rain gutters and more.

Let's take a look at the most common problems that crop up and often need to be fixed.

Check your roof for leaks 

Walk around up there and see if it seems sound under your feet. Look for any signs of sponginess from underneath. Look for shingle damage in particular - it is a sure sign of "ice dams". Also check for any water damage inside your home. If you notice any problems fix them now to avoid bigger issues down the road.

Check for clogged gutters

Keeping your rain gutters free of debris is very important. This will keep the rain from accumulating on the roof and from running down the side of your house, which can cause water stains and damage. No one enjoys cleaning out their gutters, so this is an area that usually gets neglected.

Repair sticky doors or windows

With all the wet weather, wooden windows and doors can't help but swell and stick. And with the warmer weather coming, you are going to want them open more than ever! Remove the door or window and try removing any loose paint or build up. You can use a scraper or sandpaper to sand it down. Power planes work, but may remove too much. To keep doors and windows from sticking in the first place, seal them with a good coat of paint.

Repair cracks in your driveway or walkway

Concrete always cracks with the heavy rain and winter weather. Most can be fixed with concrete caulk or a patch.

Power wash your exterior

Don't just save the spring-cleaning for inside your home. Why not give the outside a good scrubbing as well. Power washing can really do the trick. Other general things to give a once over include, checking your fireplace for creosote build-up, your air-conditioning system to make sure cool air flows freely, your plumbing for any leaks or drips and your drains to make sure they flow freely (a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and vinegar can do the trick).
