The Houston Home Maintenance Calendar: Built Around Heat and Hurricane Season

2026-06-11 ยท Houston Home Maintenance Editorial

Spring: Pre-Season Prep

Service the AC before May heat (both systems if dual), clean gutters ahead of storm season, trim trees away from the roof, and photograph the house โ€” your future insurance claim thanks you. Check drainage grading before the first gully-washer.

June-November: Storm Posture

Know your zone, keep the generator plan real, and after every major blow walk the roof line, fences, and flashing. Small shingle lifts become leaks in the next storm. Condensate lines clog in peak season โ€” a monthly cup of vinegar is the cheapest insurance in Houston.

The First Cool Front: Reset

Service heat (it runs little but must work), flush the water heater, re-caulk sun-beaten seals, and schedule exterior painting in the workable months.

Year-Round: The Foundation Routine

Clay soil swells and shrinks; consistent soaker-hose watering at the slab edge in dry stretches is the local discipline that prevents five-figure repairs.
