A few minutes a month.A home that holds up.
A simple monthly routine for the outside of your home, timed to Maryland and DC weather. Walk, check, fix the easy stuff, write it down, and know when to call a pro.
Fall checklistFrom the guide’s seasonal calendar
- Clean gutters again
- Check flashing and roof valleys
- Inspect windows/doors for drafts
- Test sump pump (if applicable)
- Seal gaps around siding/caulking
Five moves. One habit.
Every month, the same short routine. It takes about 15–20 minutes once you’ve done it twice.
- Step 1
Walk + Observe
“See what others ignore.”
Slow down and look at your home with fresh eyes: the roofline, siding, gutters and foundation. Stains, cracks, shifting and damp spots are your home telling you something.
- Step 2
Test + Check
“Feel your way to peace of mind.”
Safely test the things you rely on every day: windows, doors, vents, siding panels and gutter edges.
- Step 3
Fix the Easy Stuff
“A 10-minute win can save a $1,000 repair.”
Spotted something minor and safe to handle? Take care of it right then, like clearing leaves from a clogged downspout.
- Step 4
Record It
“Write it down now. Understand it later.”
Jot down what you checked, its condition and what to keep an eye on, using the printable templates in the guide.
- Step 5
Flag for a Pro
“The right pro at the right time can save your entire exterior.”
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong. If something doesn’t look or feel right, that’s enough to call someone.

How long does a monthly check take?
About 15–20 minutes once you’ve done it twice. The first one may take 30 while you learn your home’s baseline.
What if I miss a month?
Pick up where you left off. One missed month won’t undo your progress; the habit matters more than perfection.
Do I need any tools?
No. Your eyes, your hands, your phone camera and the templates in the guide are enough. Anything that needs a ladder or more than a screwdriver is a job for Step 5: Flag for a Pro.
How do I know if something is urgent?
Use the condition rating in the guide. Green: note it. Yellow: photograph it and re-check next month. Red, like active leaks, soft or rotted wood, cracks that grow, or anything electrical: call a pro now.
Will this help with insurance?
Dated notes and photos show you maintain your home. They can support a claim and help show damage was sudden, not neglect. Coverage decisions always rest with your insurer.
