Home Maintenance in Pickering, ON

Seasonal Upkeep for Busy Pickering Commuters

A long commute eats the hours most people would spend on upkeep. That's how a loose railing, a torn screen and a tired run of weatherstripping turn into a list that's been on the fridge for a year. For $200 to $350, a half-day visit of three or four hours gets through a good chunk of it, and we work in whatever order matters most to you. Send us the list, or a photo of it, and we'll quote the visit before booking it.

The older homes benefit most from regular visits. Outside, the usual suspects are caulking around windows and doors, weathered deck boards and eaves troughs. Inside, it's bathroom caulking, sticky doors and window hardware that won't lock. With 15 years of home inspections behind him, Pedro will also flag signs of water getting in, so you can deal with it while it's still small.

Houses near the waterfront need the outside checked more often, since moisture works on caulking, deck boards and exterior wood faster there. A spring visit catches what winter did, and a fall visit gets the house sealed up before the cold. Pickering is about 35 minutes from Bowmanville on the 401, with no travel surcharge, so twice-a-year visits are easy to book.

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