Spring Home Maintenance in St. Louis: The Post-Winter Checklist

St. Louis winters are hard on a home — freeze-thaw cycles, ice, and the damp that lingers into spring. Spring home maintenance in St. Louis is the walk-through that catches the damage before it grows into a summer repair bill. Here's the checklist we run.

The spring checklist

• Gutters and downspouts — clear the winter debris, check for sagging
• Caulk and grout — check kitchens and baths for gaps that let water in
• Roof and flashing — look for lifted shingles and loose flashing
• Siding and trim — check for winter damage and peeling paint
• Window and door weatherstripping — replace what the cold dried out
• Deck and porch — check for rot, loose boards, and rail security

The freeze-thaw damage

St. Louis's freeze-thaw cycles crack caulk, lift shingles, and open seams. Spring is when that damage shows — and when it's cheapest to fix. A small caulk gap in March is a water-damage bill in June.
