Guide

What's next for your home: a season-by-season reminder guide

Most home problems are predictable — and preventable — if you do the right thing at the right time of year. The trouble is remembering. Here's what your home needs each season, and how to never miss it again.

Fall: get ahead of winter

Furnace tune-up before peak demand, gutters cleared before the rains, outdoor taps shut off before the first freeze, and snow removal lined up before the first storm.

Winter: keep it safe and running

Test smoke & CO alarms at the clock change, watch for ice dams and pipe-freeze risk during cold snaps, and keep walkways cleared.

Vetted pros, protected jobs Built into every Genie job.
Genie verifies pros and protects your payment.

Spring: recover and refresh

A/C tune-up before the heat, window cleaning to clear winter grime, gutter check after the thaw, and lawn and yard care as things green up.

Summer: maintain and improve

Deck and fence sealing, exterior painting, dryer-vent cleaning, and the bigger projects that are easier in good weather.

Let Genie remember for you

Genie learns your home's age, type, region and service history, then nudges you before each of these is due — often with a limited-time offer and bonus rewards for booking early. You stop scrambling, and you stop overpaying for emergencies.

FAQ

What home maintenance should I do each season?

Fall: furnace, gutters, winterizing. Winter: alarms, pipe protection. Spring: A/C, windows, yard. Summer: sealing, painting, vents. Genie reminds you automatically based on your home.

How does Genie know what my home needs?

It uses your home's age, type, region, the season, and your past services to surface what's due — and gets sharper as your history builds.
