Preventive maintenance protects value, safety, and insurance eligibility, especially in coastal Pinellas. Use this Florida-focused checklist to get your home spring-ready.
Roof & Exterior
Inspect shingles, tiles, soffits, fascia, and flashing. Clear gutters and downspouts.
Trim trees away from the roof and power lines. Check fencing, gates, exterior paint, stucco, and siding.
Pressure-wash algae and mildew carefully, avoiding damage to softer surfaces.
HVAC & Indoor Systems
Replace HVAC filters and schedule a professional tune-up before summer heat.
Service the water heater, check plumbing for leaks, and test GFCI outlets.
Clean dryer vents and refrigerator coils for safety and efficiency.
Windows, Doors & Pests
Re-caulk and weatherstrip where needed. Repair screens and test hurricane shutters.
Seal gaps and treat for termites or pests. Keep mulch away from the foundation.
Insurance & Storm Prep
Review insurance coverage, deductibles, and possible wind mitigation discounts.
Photograph valuables, refresh emergency kits, and update important contact lists.
