It's a great idea to do a regular check up on your home, and make sure everything continues to be in good working order. A good way to stay on top of the maintenance is to create a calendar. Here are a few suggestions to take a look out through out the year.

Spring:
1. Gutters
Clean out your gutters! It is a great idea to do this early in the Spring before the shower season starts.
2. Seals
Check the seals around your doors, and windows. This is important to keep the warmer air out of the home, and to keep unwanted pests out.
3. Chimney
Now, that you are done with the fire place, give it a good sweep.
4. Air Conditioner
Give your air conditioner a checkup, you may want someone to do a quick inspection before the summer heat hits. That way you can address any issues before it is 100 degrees outside!
5. Roof
Have you roof inspected before the rainy season hits, to catch any small issues before they become large issues.
Summer:
1. Pest Control
Upkeep that pest management! You may want to consider a quarterly pest control visit, or having a professional inspect the property. They can make recommendations on how often your home and yard should be treated based on their evaluation.
2. Pool
