Seasonal Home Maintenance in Calgary: A Checklist for Every Season

Owning a home in Calgary is kind of like being in a long-term relationship—you’ve got to put in regular effort if you want things to stay solid. The weather here keeps us on our toes, which means your home needs different care at different times of the year.

So let’s break it down:

Spring: Time to recover from winter. This means inspecting your roof for damage, checking the foundation for cracks, cleaning out those grimy gutters, and making sure your sump pump is ready for spring melt.

Summer: Don’t be fooled by those warm, sunny days. It’s the perfect time to service your air conditioner, seal up windows and doors, and inspect decks or fences for wear. Also: pest control. Calgary summers = wasps and ants.

Fall: This is prep time. Get your furnace checked, clean your eavestroughs, and shut down outdoor water lines before things freeze. It’s also a good time to double-check insulation.

Winter: When the snow hits, your main goal is preventing ice dams and keeping things warm and safe. That means checking attic insulation, sealing drafts, and monitoring for any signs of frozen pipes.
