Why Seasonal Maintenance Matters

Routine checkups prevent costly repairs and protect your home’s value. Use this checklist to stay ahead of problems—season by season.

Spring

• Inspect your roof and gutters after winter storms.

• Test smoke and CO detectors.

• Service your HVAC system before summer heat hits.

Summer

• Power wash siding and windows.

• Check outdoor plumbing and sprinklers.

• Trim trees to avoid storm damage.

Fall

• Clean gutters and downspouts.

• Seal windows and doors for insulation.

• Schedule a chimney inspection.

Winter

• Insulate pipes to prevent freezing.

• Reverse ceiling fans for better circulation.

• Test your sump pump before heavy rain or snow.

Set Calendar Reminders

Mark tasks at the start of each season so nothing slips through the cracks. Your future self (and home) will thank you.
