Seasonal upkeep

A season by season plan for the whole property.

Weather shapes what a home needs. Use these lists to plan ahead in the seasonal planner instead of reacting after a storm or freeze.

Seasonal maintenance

Spring

Look for what winter left behind and prepare cooling systems.

  1. Inspect the roof line and gutters from the ground.
  2. Check exterior caulking around windows.
  3. Test outdoor spigots for leaks.
  4. Replace the HVAC filter before cooling season.

Exterior upkeep

Summer

Long days are ideal for exterior work and ventilation checks.

  1. Clean window screens and tracks.
  2. Clear the dryer vent run.
  3. Trim plants away from siding.
  4. Check deck boards and railings for looseness.

Seasonal maintenance

Fall

Get ahead of cold weather and falling leaves.

  1. Clean gutters after most leaves drop.
  2. Disconnect and drain garden hoses.
  3. Check weatherstripping on exterior doors.
  4. Schedule heating system review with a qualified provider.

Interior checks

Winter

Keep warmth in and watch for freeze risks.

  1. Know where your main water shutoff is.
  2. Keep cabinet doors open on cold nights for exterior wall pipes.
  3. Test carbon monoxide alarms.
  4. Watch for ice buildup along the roof edge.

Turn these into reminders for your own home.
