Home Maintenance in Omemee, ON

Spring and Fall Tune-Ups for Omemee Homes

Spring is about what winter did. We look at caulking around windows and doors that may have cracked in the cold, check the deck for loose boards and popped fasteners, clear the eaves troughs once the seeds are down, and test smoke and CO detectors. Small fixes get done on the spot instead of turning into a separate call later.

Fall is about getting ready. Weatherstripping that's gone flat lets heat leak out all winter, and replacing it is cheap. Eaves troughs get cleared after the leaves drop. Hinges get tightened, torn screens get patched or taken down, and we look for any place water is getting in before freezing weather makes it worse. Smoke and CO detectors get tested again too, which is worth doing before the furnace runs full time.

Seasonal home maintenance takes different amounts of time for village homes and rural properties. A house in the village might only need a few hours. A rural place with outbuildings and a longer list can fill a full day, which typically runs $400 to $600. Pedro's inspection background means he picks up the slow problems, like a soft spot by a door sill or a railing that's started to work loose. You choose what gets done now and what waits.

Pedro handles seasonal upkeep and preventative maintenance. For how he approaches home maintenance in general, see our home maintenance page.
