Seasonal checklist

  • Inspect caulking around windows and doors
  • Check for cracks in stucco and address early
  • Clean debris from drainage paths and gutters (if used)
  • Check exterior lighting and replace bulbs proactively
  • Rinse salt-exposed metal and hardware near the coast
  • Inspect deck surfaces and fasteners (especially after rainy season)

A contractor can recommend a realistic maintenance plan based on your materials and exposure zone.
