Regular seasonal maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your home and prevent costly repairs down the road. Each season brings unique challenges and maintenance requirements that, when addressed promptly, can extend the lifespan of your home's systems and components.

Spring Home Maintenance

Spring is the time to address winter damage and prepare for warm months:

  • Inspect and clean gutters thoroughly
  • Check roof condition for missing or damaged shingles
  • Service HVAC systems before air conditioning season
  • Prepare outdoor areas, decks, and landscaping
  • Inspect exterior caulking and weatherstripping

Summer Through Winter Tasks

Summer: This is ideal for exterior painting, deck staining, and addressing any weather-related damage from winter months.

Fall: Prepare your heating systems, weatherproof windows and doors, clean gutters again, and check exterior sealing.

Winter: Focus on protecting pipes from freezing, maintaining adequate insulation, and clearing gutters of debris that can cause water damage.

Save Money with Preventive Care

By investing a few hours each season in preventive maintenance, homeowners can avoid emergency repairs that often cost thousands of dollars. Small issues like caulking gaps or replacing weatherstripping take just hours but prevent major water damage and energy loss.

Professional handymen like Handy Johnny can help you tackle these projects efficiently and correctly, ensuring your home stays protected year-round.
