Spring is when the wear accumulated over winter becomes visible — salt residue, exterior wear, drainage issues that only show up once things thaw. It’s a natural checkpoint for a maintenance walk-through.
Exterior and grounds
- Inspect asphalt, concrete and walkways for cracking or heaving from freeze-thaw cycles
- Check landscaping and irrigation systems after winter dormancy
- Look for salt residue and staining on entrances, walkways and parkade surfaces
- Assess exterior paint and finishes for winter wear
Drainage and building envelope
- Clear gutters, downspouts and drains of winter debris
- Check for signs of water intrusion that may have gone unnoticed during winter
- Inspect caulking and weatherstripping around entrances and windows
Cleaning
- Schedule pressure washing for exteriors, walkways and parkades to remove winter grime and salt
- Deep-clean common areas and entrances after a season of heavier foot traffic
- Address carpet cleaning in common areas if winter tracked in more dirt and moisture than usual
Life safety and systems
- Confirm exterior and common-area lighting is functioning as daylight hours shift
- Review any deficiencies flagged over winter that are now easier to assess
Set the year’s maintenance plan
Spring is also a practical time to set (or reset) a maintenance schedule for the rest of the year, using what winter revealed about where the property needs the most attention.
