Steady Home Works service
Seasonal Maintenance & Exterior Repairs — Kensington, CT
New England weather is hardest on the parts of your home you don't see from the couch: gutters packing with maple leaves, caulk lines splitting after freeze-thaw cycles, deck boards cupping, fence panels leaning after a nor'easter. None of these are emergencies — until they're water in your basement or a railing in your garden.
We offer straightforward seasonal maintenance: spring tune-ups to shake off winter, fall prep before the cold returns, and honest fixes for everything outside the front door. One local team that knows your house beats four separate contractors who don't.
Serving Kensington, Berlin, New Britain & 10 more CT towns — no travel fee.
Typical pricing: Gutter cleaning for an average home typically runs $140–$260 depending on height and debris. Seasonal tune-up packages are quoted per home after a quick look.

Seasonal Maintenance & Exterior Touch-Ups — common questions
Do you clean gutters on two- and three-story homes?
We handle most two-story homes safely from ladders with standoff stabilizers. For very tall or steep roofs we'll tell you honestly and recommend a gutter specialist with lift equipment.
Can you do recurring seasonal visits?
Yes — many customers put us on a spring-and-fall schedule. We'll reach out when the season turns so you never have to remember.
Do you pressure wash?
We do light exterior cleaning (decks, patios, walkways) with appropriate pressure. We avoid aggressive washing on old soft wood and painted surfaces, which high pressure can destroy.
Will you check the roof?
We'll report what's visible from ladder level — lifted shingles, damaged flashing, moss. For roof repair or replacement we'll refer you to dedicated roofers rather than do work outside our lane.
What about icicles and ice dams?
We can't remove ice dams safely without specialized steam equipment, but we can help prevent them: attic air-sealing access points, ensuring gutters clear before winter, and recommending insulation fixes.
