As Calgary homeowners know, spring doesn’t last long here—and when summer arrives, you’ll want to enjoy it, not spend it dealing with home repairs. This 2025 home maintenance checklist is your go-to guide to protect your investment, maintain property value, and prepare for potential resale.
Why Pre-Summer Maintenance Matters
Staying ahead of seasonal wear and tear helps avoid costly repairs, boosts energy efficiency, and ensures your home is ready for either the real estate market or backyard BBQs. If you're planning to sell soon, curb appeal and a well-maintained interior can dramatically affect buyer interest and price.

2025 Calgary Spring–Summer Home Maintenance Checklist
1. Inspect the Roof and Gutters
Check for loose shingles, debris buildup, and water drainage issues caused by our freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Clean and Seal Windows
Ensure windows and screens are clean, sealed, and free of cracks to maximize airflow and minimize energy loss.
3. Service the Air Conditioning Unit
Calgary may not be humid, but summer temperatures still spike—now is the time to schedule a check-up.
4. Check the Foundation
Look for cracks or pooling water, especially after spring snowmelt. A solid foundation means fewer long-term worries.
5. Maintain Your Lawn and Landscaping
Curb appeal matters. Reseed patchy areas, refresh mulch, and trim shrubs to prepare your yard for listing photos—or lounging.
6. Inspect Decks and Fences
Pressure wash, check for rotting wood, and re-stain or repaint where needed.
7. Review Safety Systems
Test smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and your security system.
8. Clean Out the Garage and Storage Areas
Decluttering can reveal maintenance issues and help you prepare for a smoother move if selling.
Taking care of your home on an annual basis helps to protect your investment, prevent costly repairs and increase resale value!
