Why a Maintenance Schedule Matters in South Florida

Heat, humidity, salt air, and storm season can accelerate wear. A simple schedule keeps small issues from turning into big ticket repairs—and helps your home show beautifully when it’s time to sell.

Monthly Tasks

  • HVAC Filter Replace or clean; mark your calendar to keep energy bills steady.
  • Bathrooms & Kitchen Check for leaks under sinks; look for grout/caulk gaps.
  • Exterior Scan Quick walk‑around for pooling water, pests, or stucco cracks.
  • Safety Test GFCI outlets; wipe dryer lint screen and inspect vent area.

Quarterly / Seasonal Tasks

Every 3 Months
  • Rinse AC condensate line with a cup of vinegar to prevent clogs.
  • Deep clean dishwasher and washing machine gaskets; run a cleaning cycle.
  • Flush water heater (if tank style) to reduce sediment; check for rust.
Pre‑Hurricane Season (May–June)
  • Service shutters or verify impact window seals; confirm hardware is complete.
  • Trim trees away from roof and power lines; clean gutters and downspouts.
  • Stock roof tarps, flashlights, batteries, and a basic first‑aid kit.
Post‑Storm Check
  • Inspect roof for lifted shingles or loose tiles; look for ceiling stains inside.
  • Photograph any damage; keep receipts for quick insurance documentation.

Annual Tasks

  • Roof & Attic Annual inspection for cracked tiles, flashing, and ventilation.
  • Pest Control Pro inspection for termites and wood‑destroying organisms.
  • Plumbing Inspect supply lines, angle stops, and water pressure regulator.
  • Electrical Check smoke/CO detectors; replace batteries and test alarms.
