Small things done on time keep the big repairs off your calendar. Here's the seasonal rhythm for a Hickory home.
A home takes care of you when you take care of it. This is the short, seasonal rhythm Hickory homeowners should keep.
Spring
- Service HVAC before summer
- Clear gutters and check downspouts
- Inspect the roof after winter
- Reseal any exterior wood
Summer
- Trim vegetation 12" off the siding
- Check attic ventilation
- Deep clean windows and screens
Fall
- Service the furnace
- Blow out exterior lines before first freeze
- Check chimney and flue
- Clean gutters again
Winter
- Watch for ice dams
- Keep humidity between 30–50%
- Change smoke and CO detector batteries
Save this — future you will thank you.
