Keeping your home in top shape doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By tackling a few key maintenance items each year, you can prevent costly repairs, boost your home’s value, and ensure a safer, more comfortable living environment. Here are 10 important tasks every homeowner should put on their annual checklist:

1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters can cause water damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Clean them at least once a year—preferably in late fall after the leaves have dropped.

2. Inspect Your Roof

Look for missing shingles, signs of leaks, or damage from storms. Catching minor issues early can prevent major repairs down the road.

3. Service Your HVAC System

Schedule a professional inspection and tune-up for your heating and cooling systems. This ensures they run efficiently and helps extend their lifespan.

4. Check for Plumbing Leaks

Inspect faucets, toilets, and exposed pipes for leaks or corrosion. Even small drips can waste water and lead to mold or structural damage.

5. Seal Windows and Doors

Check the caulking and weather stripping to keep out drafts and moisture. Re-sealing helps maintain indoor temperature and reduces energy bills.

6. Power Wash Exterior Surfaces

Pressure wash siding, decks, fences, and driveways to remove dirt, mildew, and stains. This not only improves curb appeal but also preserves your materials.

7. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Replace batteries and test your alarms to ensure they’re working properly. It’s a small task that could save lives.

8. Flush Your Water Heater

Sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and damage your water heater. Flushing it once a year helps it run better and last longer.

9. Check Attic and Crawl Spaces

Look for signs of moisture, pests, or insulation problems. These hidden areas can be a source of major issues if left unchecked.

10. Touch Up Paint and Caulking

Inspect interior and exterior paint for chips and cracks. Refreshing paint and sealing gaps helps protect your surfaces and maintain a polished look.
