Gutter cleaning and roof inspection. Water damage from clogged gutters or roof leaks is the most expensive repair homeowners face, especially in Vancouver's rainy climate.

Monthly: test smoke/CO detectors, change HVAC filters, check for leaks under sinks, clean range hood filters, and inspect visible caulking around wet areas.
