GuideAfter a Canadian winter, spring is when small problems surface — and the best time to fix them cheaply before summer. Here's the checklist, why each task matters, and how to get it all done in a weekend without the ladder.
Winter fills gutters with grit and broken debris. Clogged gutters overflow into your foundation and basement — the #1 cause of spring water damage. Clear them before the spring rains.
Look for shingles lifted or cracked by ice and freeze-thaw. Catching it in spring is a cheap repair; ignoring it is a ceiling leak by summer.
Book the cooling changeover now — HVAC pros are booked solid the first hot week. A tune-up restores efficiency and catches problems early.
A post-winter deep clean and window wash resets the whole home. It's the highest-satisfaction spring service and the easiest to hand off.
Freeze-thaw cracks concrete and dries out wood. Sealing in spring extends their life by years.
First mow, aeration, and cleanup set up a healthy season. Recurring lawn service keeps it effortless.
Every task here is a Genie service — gutters, roof check, A/C, deep clean, sealing, lawn — with a vetted, insured pro and an upfront price. Book them in one session and cross off the whole list.
As soon as the snow clears — early spring beats the seasonal rush for HVAC and lawn pros. Genie can match a pro fast even in peak season.
Gutters and roof — they prevent the water damage that causes the most expensive spring repairs.
