Check out our winter home maintenance checklist and get connected with a Pro to help you complete one or many of these jobs this winter.
As the weather remains cold, you may tend to shift your focus to interior renovations and updates. Before you do, make sure you aren’t looking over essential outdoor, indoor, and winter maintenance to maintain your home this cold season. Take a look at these 7 jobs to schedule this winter.
Gutters & Eavestrough
Cleaning your gutters and eavestroughs are an important part of your yard clean-up checklist. Neglecting your gutters and eavestroughs can lead to blockages and ultimately damage not only the fixture itself, but it can also impact your home’s roof and foundation. While Fall is a very popular time to get this job completed, it’s not the only time that you should have it done. You should hire a Pro to maintain your gutters and eavestroughs throughout the winter months to ensure that there are no blockages. With heavy snowfall and melt, a block can lead to excessive water overflow, which can lead to leaks within your home.

Heating
During the colder months, it is relevant to have your heating system inspected. Without an inspection, you could be left with no heat on the cold winter days (if you are in this position, you can get connected for an emergency repair here). As the colder weather runs up your heating bills, you could consider upgrading your furnace for high efficiency.
Bathroom Reno
Since more time is spent indoors, obvious needs and wants may stand out to us. This is especially common in one of the most used rooms in your home, the bathroom. Winter is a perfect time to take action and finally update your bathroom. This can be as simple as updating fixtures, to a full gut. Whichever it is, make sure you get connected with a Pro today before they book up for the season!
Appliance Repairs
From Halloween baking to holiday cooking, your appliances are going to get used quite a bit this season. To prevent any mishaps, be sure to have your appliances inspected by a Pro. This will ensure they are functioning properly prior to extensive use. If an emergency repair is needed, get connected with a Pro right away.

Cleaning & Organization
With the warmer days behind us, you can make use of your indoor time by cleaning and organizing your home. From storage, to your closet, to your kitchen, you can find items to donate for people in need. You can hire a professional cleaner to give your clean and refresh your home.
Interior Painting
If you were unable to get your interior painting job completed this summer, don’t worry. Winter is actually a great time to tackle this project as the lack of humidity in the air is optimal for drying. From small touch-ups, to larger projects, consider mixing up your interior paint work this season. Get connected with a Pro today!
Snow Removal
With Canada’s unpredictable weather, it can be difficult to commit to a snow removal company for the season. However, snow removal companies book up fast, and if you miss the beat, you could be left shoveling snow yourself all winter long. Plan early and ahead of time so you don’t risk missing out. Hiring a snow removal company can help you save time and labour in the early morning by having your walkways and driveways clear every snowfall.
By keeping these winter maintenance projects top of mind you can ensure that your home is protected from the exterior elements that the winter months bring. Plus, you can make great use of your time spent indoors updating, cleaning, and organizing! Be sure to add these projects to your winter home maintenance checklist so you don’t forget. If you haven’t done so already, get connected with local, verified Pros today.
