Seasonal Maintenance Inspections

Clarity for Complex Homes — Year-Round Peace of Mind

Seasonal maintenance inspections are preventative “home health checks” for year-round and seasonal residences. They’re especially useful for spring opening, fall closing, and post-storm evaluations, and are designed to catch issues early—before they become expensive repairs. You’ll receive clear documentation and a prioritized maintenance list so you can plan work efficiently and protect the home.

Based in Southampton, NY, we provide seasonal maintenance inspections across the East End of Long Island, including Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Water Mill, East Hampton, and surrounding areas.

Who This Is For

  • Seasonal homeowners who are not on-site full-time

  • Owners who want a preventative checklist and documentation

  • Homes exposed to coastal weather, wind-driven rain, and salt air

  • Clients who want a professional set of eyes after major storms

  • Owners preparing for winterization or spring reopening

What You’ll Receive

  • Photo documentation of observed conditions

  • A clear summary of priority items (what to address now vs. monitor)

  • A maintenance list organized for practical planning

  • Recommendations for follow-up diagnostics when appropriate (thermal imaging, moisture diagnostics, etc.)

Common Add-Ons (When Appropriate)

  • Depending on what we observe, we may recommend:

    • Thermal Imaging Inspections (concealed moisture/insulation concerns)

    • Moisture Intrusion Diagnostics (active leaks or recurring water entry)

    • Basement & Crawlspace Assessments (humidity and moisture contributors)

    • Construction Consulting (repair planning, scope clarification, bid review)

What We Look At

Every home is different, but seasonal inspections commonly focus on visible and accessible items such as:

Exterior & Envelope

  • Roof surfaces (visible areas), flashings, gutters, leaders, and drainage patterns

  • Siding, trim, sealants, windows/doors, and exterior penetrations

  • Decks, railings, stairs, and exterior safety concerns

  • Signs of moisture intrusion, staining, or deterioration

Interior & Utility Areas

  • Basements/crawlspaces: dampness, humidity indicators, and water entry patterns

  • Attics: ventilation and moisture indicators (as accessible)

  • Mechanical areas: general condition observations, leaks, corrosion, or abnormal operation indicators

  • Interior signs of water impact (stains, swelling, odors) in common risk areas

Post-Storm Focus (When Applicable)

  • New staining, active leaks, wind-related damage, and displaced exterior elements

  • Drainage issues, backups, and water entry points

  • Quick documentation for decision-making and next actions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A seasonal maintenance inspection is a preventative check focused on common failure points and seasonal risks (water entry, drainage, exterior wear, humidity indicators, etc.). A full home inspection is broader and typically tied to a real estate transaction, with a more comprehensive review of visible and accessible systems and components.

  • Timing depends on the size and complexity of the home and whether it’s a general seasonal check or a post-storm evaluation. We’ll confirm scope and an expected time window during scheduling.

  • No. Many seasonal homeowners are not on-site. If you can’t be present, we’ll document conditions thoroughly and can review key findings with you by phone afterward.

  • Yes, as long as we have access and understand the home’s current operating status. If utilities are off or systems are not operating, we’ll document those limitations and focus on what can be observed.

  • We’ll document the issue and provide recommendations. We can also provide construction consulting to help define scope and evaluate proposals. For ongoing property management or repair coordination, we can connect you with John Casablanca Construction upon request.

  • Often, yes. Post-storm inspections are more focused on wind and water entry impacts—new leaks, displaced exterior elements, drainage issues, and any visible damage that needs quick documentation and prioritization.

  • Yes. Many clients set up a consistent cadence (spring opening + fall closing). You can request recurring scheduling and we’ll align dates based on access and seasonal timing.

  • We document visible conditions consistent with moisture impact and suspect growth where observed. If the findings warrant it, we may recommend a dedicated mold assessment or moisture intrusion diagnostics for a more targeted evaluation.
