Maintenance calendars for winter, spring, summer, and fall, plus severe‑weather prep.
Winter
- Protect water lines (insulation/heat tape per manufacturer guidance).
- Seal drafts; service heating; test CO alarms.
- Clear snow from steps and walkways; use pet‑safe ice melt where appropriate.
Spring
- Clean gutters and check drainage away from the home.
- Inspect skirting, tie‑downs, stairs, and railings.
- Yard refresh: reseed, mulch, and trim shrubs.
Summer
- Service cooling systems and clean filters.
- Shade windows; consider window film or blinds.
- Check deck/porch fasteners and handrails.
Fall
- Test heat tape and exterior outlets; cover hose bibs if needed.
- Clean leaves; keep skirting vents clear where present.
- Schedule chimney/flue inspection if applicable.
Storm prep: Follow local guidance for wind, flood, or wildfire risks. Know evacuation routes, secure outdoor items, and keep essential documents and meds ready. Installation and anchoring standards differ—consult qualified pros for inspections.
