Seasonal home maintenance checklists

Every season brings new weather — and new challenges for your home. Regular
maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and keep your roof, gutters, and siding in
great shape. Here’s a simple season-by-season checklist to help you protect your
home all year long.

Spring Home Maintenance

Spring showers are great for flowers — but not for leaks!
Use this time to check for any damage winter may have caused.

‍
Checklist:

• Inspect your roof for missing or cracked shingles
• Clean out gutters and downspouts
• Check your attic for leaks or damp spots
• Trim tree branches away from your roof
• Wash siding to remove dirt or mildew buildup

‍
Pro Tip:

Spring is the best time for a roof inspection — before summer storms hit.

Summer Home Maintenance

Summer heat and storms can wear down your home fast. Take these steps to stay
ahead of the damage.

‍
Checklist:

• Check roof vents for proper airflow
• Look for loose flashing or damaged sealant
• Make sure gutters are firmly attached
• Inspect for signs of mold or algae on shingles
• Power wash patios, decks, and siding

‍
Pro Tip:

After a big summer storm, do a quick walk-around to check for roof or gutter
damage.

Fall Home Maintenance

As the leaves change, it’s time to prepare your home for colder weather.

‍

Checklist:

• Clear out all leaves and debris from gutters
• Inspect your roof for loose or curling shingles
• Check weatherstripping around doors and windows
• Make sure attic insulation is in good shape
• Schedule a roof inspection before winter snow arrives

‍
Pro Tip:

Clogged gutters can cause ice dams in winter — cleaning them now can save
big repairs later!

Winter Home Maintenance

Cold weather can be tough on your roof and gutters. A few simple checks can prevent
major problems.

‍

Checklist:

• Watch for ice dams or icicles forming along the roof edge
• Make sure attic air vents aren’t blocked
• Check for drafts or cold spots inside
• Gently remove heavy snow from gutters or overhangs
• Keep an eye out for ceiling leaks after snow melts

‍
Pro Tip:

Never climb on your roof in icy conditions — call a professional for help.
