Your Seasonal Home Maintenance Checklist for Southern California

Southern California's mild climate is easy on homes compared to other regions, but that doesn't mean maintenance can be skipped. A little seasonal upkeep goes a long way toward preventing costly repairs. Here's our recommended checklist.

Spring

• Inspect roofing for winter storm damage or loose shingles/tiles
• Clean gutters and downspouts ahead of any late-season rain
• Check exterior paint and stucco for cracking or peeling
• Service irrigation systems and check for leaks

Summer

• Inspect concrete driveways and patios for heat-related cracking
• Check exterior caulking and weatherstripping around windows/doors
• Inspect patio covers and pergolas for structural wear
• Test HVAC systems ahead of peak summer heat

Fall

• Clear debris from roofs and gutters before rainy season
• Inspect and repair any exterior wood trim or fascia
• Check block walls and fencing for settling or damage
• Schedule any major remodeling projects before the holiday season

Winter

• Check for roof leaks after the first rains
• Inspect drainage around the foundation for proper grading
• Look for signs of water intrusion around windows and doors
• Plan spring remodeling projects while contractor schedules are lighter
