Most expensive home repairs start as small ones that went unnoticed. Kentucky's humid summers, heavy spring storms, and freeze-thaw winters all put stress on a house. A little seasonal attention keeps things running smoothly — here's the checklist we recommend.
Spring: Check caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks and replace any that's cracked or discolored. Inspect window and door weatherstripping. Test exterior doors for sticking as humidity rises. It's also the ideal time for a top-to-bottom deep clean after a closed-up winter.
Summer: Humidity can make interior doors swell and stick — a quick adjustment of hinges or strike plates usually fixes it. Check bathroom exhaust fans are working to keep moisture and mildew down. Tighten loose cabinet hardware and towel bars.
Fall: Before the heating season, replace worn weatherstripping and re-caulk gaps around windows and trim to keep drafts out. Patch any drywall cracks or nail pops from seasonal settling. Book a deep clean before holiday guests arrive.
Winter: Keep an eye on gaps that open up between baseboards, casing, and walls as the air dries out — they're easy to re-caulk. Check for drafts around outlets on exterior walls, and make a list of the projects you want done in spring.
