Exterior maintenance helps protect a home from water, weather, and gradual wear. Follow care instructions from the builder and material manufacturers because suitable maintenance intervals differ by climate, exposure, and finish.
Key considerations
Check roof edges, gutters, downpipes, cladding, window and door seals, and drainage around the building. In a modular home, pay attention to finished module connections and any sealant or flashing details listed in the maintenance guide.
Planning your next step
Clear leaves from drainage paths, repair damaged coatings with compatible products, and investigate persistent moisture. Keep records of inspections and repairs, especially where warranty terms apply. Use qualified trades for structural or specialist work.
