Your home survived a Chicago winter. Now what?
Most homeowners skip this list every spring — and then wonder why small problems turn into big, expensive ones come summer.
The freeze-thaw cycles we deal with here every year are brutal. Gutters, foundations, sump pumps — they all take a beating. And the stuff you don’t check in March is usually the stuff that shows up on an inspection report later.
Here’s what to walk through before spring gets away from you:
✔ Gutters and downspouts — clear out winter debris before the April rain hits
✔ Foundation — look for new cracks from the freeze-thaw cycle
✔ Sump pump — test it now, not when your basement is already wet
✔ Roof — check for missing or lifted shingles after windstorms
✔ HVAC — service it before the first hot day proves it’s broken
✔ Windows and doors — winter warps frames and creates air leaks that cost you all summer
✔ Deck or porch — wood splits in the cold, and a loose board is a liability
These aren’t just maintenance tips. They’re exactly what buyers notice during inspections — and what sellers lose negotiating power over when they’ve been ignored.
I’m Michael Beaver, your Chicago and North Shore real estate agent with Baird & Warner. I’m here year-round, not just at closing.
