The Ultimate Kansas City Home Maintenance Checklist: Seasonal Tips to Protect Your Home
Owning a home in Kansas City means enjoying four distinct seasons, and the unique maintenance challenges that come with each one. From spring storms to icy winter mornings, a little seasonal upkeep can go a long way toward protecting your biggest investment.
The good news? You don’t have to tackle it all on your own. At BrookWood Property Solutions, we’re here to help with everything from small handyman jobs to full, scale repairs so you can spend less time worrying about your home and more time enjoying it.
Here’s your go-to seasonal checklist to keep your home in top shape year-round.
Spring (March–May): Fresh Start for Your Home
Kansas City springs can bring rain, wind, and plenty of pollen. Use this time to prep your home for the busy summer months ahead.
Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage.
Inspect your roof for loose shingles or storm damage.
Service your HVAC system before the summer heat hits.
Prep your lawn and landscaping so everything grows healthy and green.
Take care of pest prevention before ants, spiders, and other critters get too comfortable.
Summer (June–August): Enjoy the Outdoors
With long, sunny days, summer is perfect for exterior projects.
Check and repair fences, decks, and patios for safety and appearance.
Inspect siding and exterior paint to protect against weather damage.
Maintain your sprinkler system to keep your yard looking great.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for peace of mind.
Keep up with pest control — wasps, ants, and other bugs love this season.
Fall (September–November): Prepare for Cold Weather
Fall is all about getting your home ready for winter.
Clean gutters again after the leaves drop.
Have your furnace inspected and replace air filters.
Seal windows and doors to keep drafts (and high heating bills) away.
Check attic insulation to keep your home warm and efficient.
Winterize outdoor faucets and hoses to prevent freezing.
Winter (December–February): Stay Warm and Safe
Cold Kansas City winters can be tough on a home. A little prevention now can save you big headaches later.
Protect pipes from freezing with insulation and slow drips during extreme cold.
Watch for ice dams forming on your roof.
Test carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if needed.
Keep walkways clear of ice and snow for safety.
Use winter downtime to schedule interior repairs or upgrades.
