Seasonal Upkeep

What to expect

Houses rarely fail all at once. They wear down one clogged gutter, cracked bead of caulk and dirty filter at a time, and the repair bill arrives later. Our seasonal upkeep visits handle the small maintenance tasks that keep bigger problems from starting.

Each visit follows a checklist tuned to the season, from spring gutter flushes to pre-winter weatherstripping. You get a short written report with photos of anything that needs attention, so you can plan repairs on your schedule instead of in an emergency.

Homes in the Triangle take a beating from spring pollen, summer storms and the occasional hard freeze in January. A little attention at the right time of year keeps water moving away from the foundation, stops drafts that push up energy bills and catches worn parts while they are still cheap to replace.

What we handle

  • Gutter cleaning and downspout flushing
  • Exterior caulking around windows and doors
  • Weatherstripping and door sweep replacement
  • HVAC filter changes
  • Dryer vent cleaning
  • Smoke and CO detector battery checks
  • Deck and railing tightening
  • Pressure washing walkways and steps
  • Hose bib winterizing
  • Seasonal inspection with a photo report

Before your visit

Unlock gates and move cars out of the driveway so we can set ladders safely along the gutters. Leave a spare HVAC filter out if you buy a specific size, or send us the dimensions and we will bring one. Point out anything that worries you, like a ceiling stain, a soft deck board or a drafty window, and we will add it to the report. Visits run in most weather, but gutter work is rescheduled during storms or high wind for safety.

How a visit works

  1. 1

    Pick a season or a plan

    Book a one-time visit or set up spring and fall visits so the checklist runs itself.

  2. 2

    Run the checklist

    Your technician works through the seasonal list and notes anything outside the scope of the visit.

  3. 3

    Fix the small stuff

    Loose screws, failed caulk and worn weatherstripping are handled on the spot within the visit time.

  4. 4

    Get the report

    You receive photos and notes on anything worth watching, with a quote if a larger repair makes sense.

Common questions

Twice a year for most homes in the Triangle: late spring after the pollen and seed drop, and late fall after the leaves. Homes under heavy tree cover may need a third visit.

We clean gutters from ladders and do not walk steep or wet roofs. Anything that needs roof access, such as shingle repair, is referred to a roofing contractor.

Photos and short notes on gutters, caulk lines, weatherstripping, vents, detectors and any item that looked worn, with a suggested priority for each.

Yes. Send your list ahead of time and we will fit what we can into the visit, then quote anything that needs its own appointment.

No long contract. The plan renews each year, and you can cancel before the next scheduled visit without a fee.
