What the temperate four-season climate does to a home here

Four distinct seasons mean two changeovers a year: spring opening and fall closing tasks.
Gutter clearing after leaf drop prevents most winter water problems.
HVAC gets both heating and cooling duty, so twice-yearly service is normal.
Occasional severe weather makes an annual exterior and drainage review worthwhile.

Common property issues in this market

Drainage and grading around the foundation cause more expensive problems than anything else on the exterior.
Frozen or burst supply lines during an unheated cold snap are the highest-cost single failure.
Water heaters and washing-machine hoses are the most common source of interior water damage.
Deferred small work — caulking, seals, filters, gutter flow — turns into the large repairs owners actually notice.
