Winterization and seasonal home maintenance
Get the house ready for an Illinois winter, then ready for spring. Small fixes now prevent frozen pipes, ice dams, and drafts later.
Before the freeze
Winterization
- Pipe insulation in crawl spaces and garages
- Outdoor faucet covers and shut-off
- Caulking and weatherproofing windows and doors
- Weatherstripping and door sweeps
- Attic insulation added and repaired
- Gutter cleaning before the freeze
- And more
Exposed pipes on outside walls and in crawl spaces are the first to freeze. Insulating them takes an afternoon and can prevent a burst pipe.
Most winterization visits fit in a half day ($240).
Spring and fall
Seasonal home checkup
- Smoke and CO detectors tested
- Caulk around tubs, sinks, and windows checked
- Gutters, downspouts, and grading checked
- Deck, railings, and steps checked
- Furnace filter changed
- Written list of anything that needs attention
- And more
A spring and fall walkthrough of the house, with small fixes done on the spot and a list of anything bigger, priced so you can plan.
After the thaw
Spring cleanup
- Pressure washing decks, patios, and siding
- Gutter cleaning
- Screens repaired and installed
- Deck sealing and staining
- And more
Spring work is scheduled from April on, once temperatures stay above freezing.
