Winter in Toronto is brutal on homes. Ice, salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and months of debris buildup take their toll. Here's the complete spring checklist to get your home back in shape.
Exterior Checklist
- ☐ Clean gutters — clear winter debris, check for ice damage
- ☐ Inspect downspouts — ensure water flows away from foundation
- ☐ Wash windows — inside and out, including screens and tracks
- ☐ Pressure wash driveway, walkways, and patio
- ☐ Check siding for cracks, mould, or damage from ice
- ☐ Inspect roof — look for missing or damaged shingles
- ☐ Clean exterior lighting fixtures
- ☐ Power wash deck/fence and reseal if needed
Interior Checklist
- ☐ Replace HVAC filters
- ☐ Test smoke and CO detectors
- ☐ Deep clean carpets and upholstery
- ☐ Check caulking around windows and doors
- ☐ Inspect basement for moisture or cracks
- ☐ Service A/C before summer heat arrives
The Smart Approach: Bundle Services
Instead of tackling everything separately, bundle your exterior maintenance. Getting windows, gutters, and pressure washing done in one visit saves time and money — most companies offer 10-15% off bundled services.
💡 Pro tip: The ideal time for spring maintenance in the GTA is late April to mid-May — after the last frost but before the summer rush. Book early for the best availability.
