Maintenance Checklists

Home maintenance in the Upper Midwest runs on the seasons. A short list each spring and fall protects your home through freeze-thaw and heavy snow.

Spring: clear gutters, check the roof for winter damage, service the AC, and inspect the driveway and foundation for freeze-thaw cracks.

Fall: winterize irrigation, seal gaps against pests and drafts, service the furnace, and check attic insulation and ventilation before the first freeze.
