Three fields. Our office follows up to schedule.
Maintenance that follows the seasons
Home maintenance in Bozeman runs on a short calendar, because snow can arrive in fall and hang on into late spring. Fall is for clearing gutters and downspouts, replacing worn weatherstripping and shutting down outdoor faucets before the hard freezes. Spring is for checking what the winter moved: decks that held snow for months, split caulk, torn screens and steps lifted by frost. We work through the list with you each season, with background-checked craftsmen and a one-year written guarantee on our work. Call (800) 884-2639 to schedule a visit.
Water causes most expensive home repairs, and in Bozeman it usually gets in the same ways: gutters and downspouts that freeze and back up, ice dams along the eaves, caulk joints that opened in the dry air, and trim that should have been sealed a season earlier.
Inside, the house works hard all winter with the windows shut and a furnace or wood stove running. Fresh furnace filters, a clean dryer vent and working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are simple items that are easy to put off and worth keeping on the list.
What we handle
Seasonal maintenance
Gutters and downspouts
Gutters cleared and downspouts and extensions reset so meltwater drains away from the foundation.
Caulking
Windows, doors, tubs, showers and siding joints recaulked where dry air and temperature swings have split the old lines.
Weatherproofing
Weatherstripping and door sweeps replaced to stop drafts before the cold settles in.
Outdoor faucets
Hoses disconnected and outdoor faucets shut down and drained for winter.
Safety checks
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors tested and replaced, dryer vents cleaned and furnace filters swapped.
Deck and fence care
Loose boards, posts and rails secured after the snow, and screens repaired for summer.

Checklists
Fall and spring checklists
Fall: before the freeze
Clear gutters and downspouts, replace weatherstripping and sweeps, recaulk windows and doors, shut off and drain outdoor faucets, swap the furnace filter and secure railings on entry steps.
Spring: after the snow
Check decks and railings that held snow or caught it sliding off a metal roof, look for steps and pads lifted by frost, recaulk split joints and repair torn screens.
Year-round
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, clean the dryer vent and bath fans, and watch ceilings and walls for stains.
