Exterior Maintenance Items
ANNUAL GUTTER CLEANING
Over the year, gutters can accumulate leaves, twigs, and debris that block the flow of rainwater. This can lead to water overflow, damaging the roof, siding, and foundation of the home. An annual cleaning ensures that gutters and downspouts are clear, facilitating proper drainage and preventing water damage.
ANNUAL ROOF MOSS TREATMENT
Moss can grow on roofs, especially in damp or shaded areas. Over time, it can cause damage to shingles, leading to leaks and reducing the roof’s lifespan. An annual moss treatment helps prevent moss growth, protecting the roof’s integrity and extending its life.
WINTERIZATION OF EXTERIOR VENTS & WATER SPIGOTS
Before winter, exterior vents and water spigots should be winterized to prevent freezing and damage. This typically involves insulating spigots, draining outdoor water lines, and covering vents to block cold air, ensuring that these components remain functional and undamaged through cold weather.

Interior Maintenance Items
BIANNUAL KITCHEN & BATHROOM CAULKING INSPECTION
FREE REMOVAL AND CAULKING AS NEEDED
Caulking in kitchens and bathrooms seals joints to prevent water leakage and mold growth. Over time, caulking can deteriorate, crack, or peel. A biannual inspection and free re-caulking as needed ensure that all joints remain sealed, preventing water damage and maintaining a clean appearance.
BIANNUAL WATER & DRAIN LINE INSPECTION UNDER SINKS
FREE TIGHTENING & GASKET REPLACEMENT AS NEEDED
Water and drain lines under sinks can develop leaks or loose connections over time. Biannual inspections help identify and address these issues early, with free tightening and gasket replacements as needed to prevent water damage and ensure proper drainage.
BIANNUAL SMOKE & CO ALARM INSPECTION
FREE REPLACEMENT AS NEEDED*
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are critical for safety. A biannual inspection ensures they are functioning correctly, with batteries in good condition. Free replacement of faulty alarms ensures continued protection against fire and carbon monoxide hazards.
*This does not apply to alarms that have been tampered with.
