Life in the valley means real seasons — warm, dry summers, crisp falls, snowy winters and breezy springs. A simple seasonal routine keeps your home comfortable and helps prevent costly repairs.
Spring: inspect and refresh
Check the roof and gutters for winter damage, look for drafts around windows, service your cooling system and plan any exterior or garden projects while the weather is mild.
Summer: beat the heat
Keep blinds closed during the hottest hours, check attic ventilation and consider solar while days are long. Water gardens early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
Fall: prepare for winter
Clean gutters, seal gaps around doors and windows, test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and have heating systems serviced before the first cold snap.
Winter: protect and plan
Keep walkways clear, watch for ice dams and protect pipes from freezing. Winter is also a great time to plan indoor projects like flooring or a bathroom remodel.
All year: stay safe
Test alarms regularly, keep extinguishers handy and review your security setup so your home stays protected whatever the season.
