8 Tips for Seasonal Home Upkeep: Care for a Home That Shines All Year Long
Keeping a luxury home in pristine condition is about maintenance and preserving beauty, protecting investment value, and ensuring comfort through every season. Whether your home is newly remodeled or a long-time treasure, seasonal upkeep plays a vital role in longevity and overall enjoyment.
At Glickman Design Build, we believe a well-maintained home should feel effortless. With almost 50 years of high-end remodeling expertise, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners maintain and enhance their space with thoughtful upgrades, smart additions, and even long-term design solutions.
Below are eight seasonal upkeep tips tailored for elegant homes, along with ways Glickman can help elevate your property year after year.
1. Refresh Your Exterior Paint and Trim
Seasonal weather shifts, such as humidity, snow, and wind, can quickly wear down exterior surfaces. Luxury homes often feature custom trim packages, detailed façades, and high-quality paint that deserve proper upkeep.
If your exterior feels tired, we can redesign or refresh architectural details, update materials, or even transform the entire front elevation as part of a larger curb-appeal remodel.
2. Inspect and Clean Gutters Before Every Major Season
Clogged gutters lead to drainage issues, water intrusion, and even foundation damage. Luxury homes often have sophisticated roofing systems, multiple rooflines, or integrated drainage features, which make clean gutters essential.
If drainage issues have already caused interior or exterior damage or you want a better long-term solution, Glickman can design improved roofing structures, new overhangs, or covered entryways as part of an architectural upgrade.
3. Schedule Seasonal HVAC Maintenance
Comfort is non-negotiable in a luxury home. Seasonal tune-ups ensure your system runs efficiently, quietly, and reliably. Consider upgrades such as zoned heating, radiant floor heating, or intelligent automation.
During home remodels, we integrate hidden ductwork, radiant flooring, insulation improvements, and advanced climate systems, especially in high-end kitchens, baths, additions, and whole-home-renovations.
4. Check Windows and Doors for Drafts or Wear
Seal failures, aging frames, and damaged weather stripping are common seasonal issues. Luxury homes benefit greatly from high-performance windows and custom-crafted doors that provide superior insulation and noise reduction.
With Glickman, you can upgrade windows and doors as part of many remodel projects, whether you want energy-efficient replacements or stunning custom designs that enhance beauty and function.
5. Protect Your Outdoor Living Spaces
From multi-level decks to gourmet outdoor kitchens, seasonal upkeep is essential. Wood, composite materials, stone, and metals all require cleaning and periodic sealing to retain their luxury look.
We design and build premium outdoor additions, including sunrooms, covered patios, screened rooms, and multi-purpose decks that extend luxurious living into every season.
6. Maintain Kitchens and Bathrooms with Seasonal Deep Checks
These spaces see the most wear. Seasonal checks help ensure plumbing, surfaces, and appliances stay in top condition.
Luxury Seasonal Checklist Includes:
• Resealing stone countertops
• Checking custom cabinetry for humidity shifts
• Ensuring tile grout and caulk remain watertight
• Inspecting plumbing and fixtures
Our high-end kitchen and bath remodels use premium, durable materials designed to age beautifully with proper seasonal care.
7. Evaluate the Integrity of Your Home’s Foundation and Structure
Seasonal changes can stress your home’s structural elements. Checking for cracks, moisture intrusion, settling, or uneven floors prevents long-term issues, especially in luxury properties with additions or multiple stories.
As a trusted design-build firm, we evaluate structural load, framing, and foundational integrity when planning additions, expansions, or whole-home remodels. Our solutions ensure lasting stability and safety.
8. Use Seasonal Shifts as an Opportunity to Reimagine Your Space
Every new season brings a chance to evaluate what’s working and what could be improved. Maybe your family needs more space, better layout flow, an updated bathroom retreat, or an all-season room that can be enjoyed year-round.
Consider one of Glickman’s Signature Seasonal Enhancements:
• Sunroom additions for bright winter warmth
• Basement transformations for cozy, year-round entertainment
• All-season porches and screened rooms
• Luxury kitchen expansions perfect for holiday hosting
• Spa-inspired bathroom renovations for relaxation

With Glickman, seasonal upkeep becomes not only maintenance but also inspiration for what’s possible next.
