Fall winterization before the first hard freeze (often early October), spring post-winter inspections, and UV protection for wood surfaces, engineered for Pikes Peak weather extremes.
The Colorado Handyman provides proactive seasonal maintenance solutions designed specifically for the Pikes Peak region’s climate extremes.
Pipe Insulation & Heat Tape: Installation for exposed plumbing in crawl spaces and exterior walls before Colorado Springs’ first hard freeze, which typically arrives in early October.
Exterior Hose Bib Shutoff: Complete drain-down of outdoor water lines.
Thermal Sealing: Fresh weather stripping on windows and doors.
Swamp Cooler Winterization: Drain, disconnect, cover, and seal the interior vent so it’s ready for spring startup.
For homes in Monument, Palmer Lake, and Black Forest (which sit along the Palmer Divide at 7,000+ feet and receive heavier snowfall and more extreme temperature swings), we recommend an enhanced winterization package that includes attic insulation checks and ice dam prevention measures.
After a Colorado Springs winter, exterior components take a beating. We check for failed caulking around windows and doors, paint peeling on south-facing walls, UV-damaged weather stripping, and foundation moisture from snowmelt drainage.
