Drainage, cooling and irrigation
Check roof drainage and gutters, review the foundation and exterior after the wet or cold season where applicable, prepare cooling equipment, and start irrigation only when local freeze risk has passed.

Preview reminder emails Preview the reminder and weather-alert emails before you save a plan. +
Both previews use the same shared templates as the live email system. The actual task, dates, weather event, home name and available provider content change to match the saved plan.
Creating a plan for a client? For agents, inspectors and other pros creating a handoff plan for a homeowner. +
Client plans are now created through a separate Professional account. It gives agents, inspectors, property managers, insurance and warranty professionals one place to prepare unlimited client plans, manage handoff status, add professional branding and choose preferred providers for relevant client reminders.
A cleaner professional handoff
See Professional accounts
The homeowner still receives a full review page and nothing begins until they explicitly accept. After acceptance, the homeowner owns the plan and its private maintenance records. The professional receives a one-time acceptance notice and can see handoff status without gaining access to the homeowner's private dashboard.
Adding more than one home? Keep multiple homes under the same primary account. +
Use the same primary email for every home you personally manage. Save the first home, then use Add another home from your Home Maintenance Dashboard so all of your properties stay together under one account. If you already have a saved home, open your dashboard first and add the next property from there. Use a different primary email only when the home should belong to a genuinely separate owner or account.
AFTER YOU SAVE
Your plan also includes a free private Home Maintenance Dashboard.
Email reminders work on their own, so using the dashboard is entirely optional. If you choose to open it, the dashboard keeps the home organized in one place: upcoming reminders, completed maintenance, equipment and model information, receipts and warranties, uploaded documents, saved local providers and a printable or shareable maintenance history.

CLIMATE-AWARE SEASONAL REFERENCE
Build a personalized schedule
Common home-maintenance patterns by season.
A generic calendar is only a reference. The planner uses your ZIP code's official climate zone and the systems in your home to shape its starting schedule. Manufacturer guidance, known service history and actual property conditions still take priority.
Cooling, exterior and water use
Keep HVAC filters on schedule, watch cooling performance, inspect decks and exterior finishes, maintain irrigation, and address storm or hail damage when it occurs.
Heating and freeze preparation
Prepare heating systems and, in freeze-prone climates, winterize irrigation, exposed water systems and seasonal cooling equipment. In warmer climates, focus instead on drainage, moisture control and cooling readiness.
Heating, moisture and records
Continue filter and heating checks where heating is active, watch freeze-prone plumbing in colder zones, manage indoor moisture in humid regions, and use quieter months to update home records and warranties.
How Front Range Home Helper uses this seasonal guidance
The planner does not copy one calendar for every home. It assigns the ZIP code's official IECC climate zone, applies a published rule table to show relevant questions and initial timing, then creates reminders only for the systems selected. Every date and frequency remains adjustable, and optional weather-aware home-care alerts use qualifying National Weather Service conditions near the saved ZIP area.
PLANNER + DASHBOARD QUESTIONS
What happens after you build the plan?
What do I get after I save a maintenance plan?
Saving turns on the selected email reminders and sends the primary homeowner a secure access link. The Home Maintenance Dashboard is optional and free; open it only if you want to manage reminders, record completed maintenance, store equipment information and documents, save providers or create a maintenance history report.
Where can I use the maintenance planner?
The maintenance planner and eligible weather-aware home alerts support homes in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The separate local provider directory is focused on South Denver Metro and nearby Front Range communities.
How does the planner account for climate?
Your ZIP code is matched to an official U.S. Department of Energy and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory IECC climate-zone classification. Deterministic rules use its temperature zone and moisture regime to show relevant questions and shape the starting schedule. The planner does not use AI to guess a home's climate or equipment.
