Keeping up with routine home maintenance can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down by season makes it much more manageable. Regular checkups not only keep your home safe and comfortable but also help prevent costly repairs down the road. Here’s a seasonal checklist to help you stay on track year-round.
🌸 Spring: Refresh and Inspect
- Clean gutters and downspouts
- Inspect the roof for missing shingles or damage
- Service your HVAC system before the heat kicks in
- Power wash siding, decks, and driveways
- Check outdoor faucets and irrigation systems for leaks
☀️ Summer: Tune Up and Secure
- Check windows and doors for air leaks
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Inspect plumbing for leaks or drips
- Clean and maintain ceiling fans
- Trim trees and shrubs away from your home
🍂 Fall: Prep for Cold Weather
- Clean and inspect chimneys and fireplaces
- Seal cracks in driveways and walkways
- Service heating systems before winter
- Drain and store outdoor hoses and sprinkler systems
- Inspect weather stripping and insulation
❄️ Winter: Protect and Monitor
- Monitor for ice dams and roof leaks
- Check insulation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces
- Test sump pumps if you’re in a flood-prone area

- Run water in rarely used pipes to prevent freezing
