San Jose's climate, high Silicon Valley home values and a taste for clean finishes, decides what belongs on the seasonal list. Here is what actually matters.
Year-Round Home Checklist
- Rinse salt off outdoor AC and metal fixtures.
- Check window and door seals against moisture.
- Service the AC once a year for reliability.
- Watch for corrosion on exterior hardware and railings.
Do it in the right order
Start with anything safety-related (heating, electrical, roof), then moisture and drainage, then cosmetic. The goal is to catch small problems before the season turns them into expensive ones.
What to hand to a pro
Roof, HVAC, gas, and electrical. A seasonal tune-up in San Jose runs $115-$230, far less than the emergency it prevents.
