How to Maintain Your Home Year-Round (Without the Stress)
Owning a home in Chicago means you get four seasons—and four sets of maintenance checklists. From prepping your furnace for freezing temps to cleaning out clogged gutters after a summer storm, there's always something that needs doing.
But here’s the thing: most homeowners don’t have the time, tools, or trusted contacts to keep up with it all. That’s why more and more people in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, Bucktown, and Wilmette are turning to home maintenance subscription plans to take care of their homes—without the stress.
At In House, we’re based right here in Chicago and designed our service for busy homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems, not scramble to fix them later.
Why Staying on Top of Maintenance Matters in Chicago
Chicago homes take a beating—from subzero wind chills to summer heat waves and lake effect storms. If you don’t stay ahead of things, you risk:
Frozen pipes and flooded basements
Furnace or AC breakdowns
Roof leaks and water damage
Out-of-control repair costs
Routine upkeep can prevent all that. But between work, family, and life—it’s easy to let things slide.
