The DFW Home Maintenance Calendar: Hail Season, Heat, and the Clay Below

2026-06-11 ยท Dallas Home Maintenance Editorial

Spring: Storm Season Posture

March-June brings hail and straight-line winds: photograph the roof beforehand, inspect after every event (binoculars beat ladders for the quick scan), check gutters and window screens, and document for the claim you will eventually file. Service the AC before the first 95-degree week.

Summer: Heat and Clay

Run the foundation watering routine in dry stretches โ€” soaker hoses on the slab perimeter, evenings. Watch fence posts and gates (heat warps), shade-screen west windows, and keep condensate lines clear.

Fall: The Pleasant Window

Exterior painting, fence repair, roof work from the spring claim, gutter cleaning, and heat service โ€” DFW's short furnace season still demands a working furnace. The occasional hard freeze (2021 taught everyone) means knowing your pipe vulnerabilities now.

Winter: Freeze Drills

Wrap exposed pipes, drip faucets in hard freezes, know the main shutoff, and protect the irrigation backflow. Mild winters punish complacency every few years here.
