Spring (March - May)

Inspect roof for damage, clean gutters, service AC before summer, and test sump pump for spring melt.

Summer (June - August)

Check windows and doors for drafts, clean and seal wood decks, and touch up exterior paint.

Fall (September - November)

Have furnace serviced, seal drafts around doors and windows, and clean gutters of fallen leaves.
