Caring for a property isn't one big project — it's small things done at the right time. Here's a simple tri-state seasonal rhythm that prevents the expensive surprises.
Spring
- Power wash siding, decks and walkways once pollen settles.
- Clear gutters and check downspouts after winter.
- Inspect concrete and pavers for new cracks from freeze-thaw.
- Re-seal decks and fences if they're due.
Summer
- Seal driveways and pavers in dry, warm weather.
- Touch up paint and caulk while it cures fast.
- Trim plants back off siding and fences for airflow.
Fall
- Clean gutters again after the leaves drop — this is the big one.
- Check that water drains away from the foundation before winter.
- Install or test permanent/holiday lighting before it's cold.
Winter
- Use concrete-safe de-icer, not rock salt.
- Watch for ice damming at the roof edge.
- Keep an eye on heavy snow load on fences and gutters.
