Questions & Answers

Spring Maintenance FAQ

When should I do spring home maintenance in Edmonton?

Once the snow is gone and the ground has thawed, start with the exterior: roof, gutters, siding, decks and walkways. Book HVAC and A/C servicing early, before the summer rush.

What should be on a spring home maintenance checklist?

Inspect the roof and gutters, check siding and exterior surfaces, clean decks and walkways, test your sprinklers, change furnace filters, check window seals and screens, look for plumbing leaks, inspect the basement for dampness, and check your A/C.

Why does spring maintenance matter?

Winter freeze and thaw can leave damage that gets worse over the summer. Catching small problems early, like a loose shingle, worn seal or damp basement wall, avoids bigger and pricier repairs later.

Can Reid help with the jobs on this list?

Yes, for the hands-on jobs like exterior touch-ups, deck repairs, weatherproofing, paint touch-ups and small repairs. A/C and furnace servicing should go to a licensed HVAC professional. Send a quote request with your list and Reid will give you a ballpark.
