A well-maintained home saves money, prevents costly repairs, and protects your investment. Regular upkeep helps systems last longer, keeps your family safe, and boosts resale value. Here’s a seasonal breakdown to stay on top of it all:
Spring
Inspect roof, gutters, and downspouts for winter damage
Power wash siding, deck, and walkways
Service A/C system before hot weather
Check grading around foundation to prevent water damage
Summer
Stain/seal deck and outdoor wood surfaces
Clean dryer vent and exhaust ducts
Inspect windows/doors for gaps and reseal if needed
Test GFCI outlets and outdoor lighting
Fall
Clean gutters and downspouts
Service furnace before winter
Drain and store garden hoses, shut off outdoor faucets
Check attic insulation and weatherstripping
Winter
Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
Inspect plumbing for leaks and add pipe insulation if needed
Touch up interior paint and drywall
Plan next year’s maintenance or remodel projects
