Snow-Season Prep
Snow-season prep and winterizing
Things break the week the first big storm hits: the door that won't latch against the wind, the gutter that tears off under ice, the driveway edge nobody can find under three feet of snow.
A pre-season visit catches most of it. I work through a checklist on the outside and inside of the house and fix what I find while I'm there.
Common jobs
- Weatherstripping, door sweeps and thresholds
- Snow stakes along driveways and walkways
- Insulated covers on outdoor hose bibs
- Closing and covering crawlspace vents
- Re-securing gutters, downspouts and loose trim
- Railing and stair checks before snow and ice
- Storing deck furniture and grills
- Attic hatch weatherstripping
Scope
Non-plumbing prep only. Draining water lines, blowing out irrigation, furnace service and heat tape installs are for a licensed plumber, irrigation tech or electrician.

Snow-Season Prep: questions
Do you drain the water lines?
No. Draining and winterizing plumbing is plumbing work. I can recommend a licensed plumber, and I'll handle everything else on the list.
When should I book winter prep?
September and October are ideal. Before the first real storm, ideally before Halloween in most years.
Can you do this for my rental between guests?
Yes. Send me your booking gaps and I'll work around them.
