Keeping your home in great shape throughout the year doesn’t have to be stressful — especially when you know what to check and when. Saskatoon’s changing seasons can be tough on homes, from cold winters to warm, humid summers. That’s why regular seasonal maintenance is essential.
At IH Home Fix, we help homeowners in Saskatoon take care of small repairs before they turn into costly problems. Here’s your complete seasonal home maintenance checklist to protect your investment year-round.
🌷 Spring: Refresh and Repair
Spring is the perfect time to assess any damage caused by winter weather.
Your spring checklist:
- Inspect your roof for missing shingles or water damage.
- Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent leaks.
- Check window and door seals to keep warm air in and moisture out.
- Touch up exterior paint and repair any cracks.
- Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Schedule handyman services for minor indoor or outdoor repairs.
👉 IH Home Fix Tip: Spring is a great time to book painting, drywall repair, or deck maintenance before the busy summer season starts.
☀️ Summer: Maintain and Improve
Warm weather makes it easier to tackle outdoor projects and upgrades.
Your summer checklist:
- Power wash driveways, decks, and siding.
- Inspect your air conditioning unit — replace filters if needed.
- Repair or replace window screens to keep bugs out.
- Check fence stability and repair loose boards.

Your fall checklist:
- Clean and inspect your furnace and replace filters.
- Seal any drafts around doors and windows.
