🌸 Spring: Reset & Refresh

Spring is the season of renewal.

  • Inspect your roof and gutters for winter damage
  • Deep clean high-touch and overlooked areas
  • Check smoke & CO detectors
  • Let in the light—wash windows and refresh window treatments
  • Book a seasonal walkthrough to catch small issues before they grow

☀️ Summer: Cool, Efficient, Calm

Warm weather can test your systems.

  • Schedule a professional A/C tune-up
  • Install or clean ceiling fans for better airflow
  • Seal gaps around doors and windows to retain cool air

🍂 Fall: Prep for Cold & Storms

Autumn is the time to fortify.

  • Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams
  • Trim overhanging branches near the roofline
  • Schedule a furnace inspection and replace filters

  • Evaluate insulation before temperatures drop
