Our Services

Services We Offer

We handle the routine home-maintenance tasks that are easy to put off. Each season, we visit, complete them on schedule, and document the work with photos.

Choosing several services for one visit lowers the price of each one (see what a visit costs).

Every Visit

What Every Visit Includes

No matter which services you choose, every subscription visit includes the following.

Visit report with before-and-after photos of every task

Posted to your portal the same day, so you can review the work even if you were not home for it.

Your home record kept current

Equipment ages, filter sizes, consumable dates and measurements, kept up to date so every future visit and repair is better informed.

Leak walk on every visit

Under every sink, around the water heater, and at the ceilings below the bathrooms.

Observation notes

Pest evidence, wear items and anything developing toward a repair, documented while it is still a small problem.

Consumables at catalog price

Filters, salt, pads, cartridges and batteries are billed at flat, published catalog prices and itemized on your invoice. No hidden markups and no lump sums.

Exterior & Seasonal

Gutter cleaning, leaf removal, winterization, sprinkler service and a spring exterior review, each completed at the right time of year.

Gutter Cleaning & Downspout Flush

Gutters cleared by hand after the leaves are down, every fall

Clogged gutters lead to ice dams, rotted fascia and wet basements. We clear every run, flush every downspout until it runs clear, and photograph the finished work so you can review it without climbing a ladder.

Each fall, after the leaves drop

Gutter Cleaning & Downspout Flush

Each fall, after the leaves drop

We clear every gutter by hand and flush every downspout once the trees are bare, preventing ice dams and fascia rot.

Leaf Removal to the Curb

Fall, on request — up to three passes

We blow leaves from the lawn and beds to the curb for your township's pickup, up to three passes each fall.

Exterior Winterization

Each fall

We disconnect, drain and store your hoses, cover the outdoor faucets, and put away anything at risk of freezing.

Plus foam faucet covers at catalog price.

Spring Exterior Review

Each spring

We review the roof from the ground, the foundation perimeter, downspout discharge, deck fasteners and caulk lines, with photos. Minor caulk touch-ups are completed on the spot; anything larger is documented in a written note.

Ice Dam & Attic Moisture Check

Each winter

We check the eaves for ice dams and the attic for frost on the sheathing, an early sign of warm air leaking in. Caught in winter, it is usually a simple insulation fix rather than a ceiling repair.

Sprinkler Startup Check

Each spring

We bring the system up zone by zone, check every head for coverage and breaks, and review the controller. For homes with sprinkler systems.

Homes with sprinklers

Sprinkler Winterization (Blowout)

Each fall

We blow every zone clear with compressed air before the first hard freeze. The backflow assembly is isolated and never blown through. Covers up to eight zones; larger systems are priced per zone.

Softener Salt Delivery & Fill

Softener salt delivered, carried in and filled at every visit

Plus salt by the bag at catalog price.

Water Heater Annual Service

Each winter

Tanks under five years old are flushed; older tanks receive a full inspection instead, because flushing an older tank can cause the leak it is meant to prevent. We test the relief valve, check the connections and help you plan replacement before a failure.

Sump Pump & Backup Test

Spring and fall

We pour-test the pump to confirm it runs, check the float and log the backup battery's charge. Regular testing is the best protection against a flooded basement.

Whole-House Water Quality Test

Each summer

A fourteen-parameter test of your tap water, with the results posted to your portal. It also confirms that your softener and filters are working properly.

Plus test kit at catalog price.

Well Sediment Filter Cartridge

Every visit

We replace the sediment cartridge on schedule, in the size your filter housing takes. For homes on well water.

Plus cartridge at catalog price.

Faucet Aerator & Showerhead Descale

Spring and fall

We remove, soak and clear every aerator and showerhead of mineral scale. Covers up to four fixtures; additional fixtures are priced individually.

Toilet Health Check

Spring and fall

We dye-test for silent leaks and check the flapper, fill valve and supply line on up to three toilets. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a month.

Plus flapper or fill valve at catalog price when one is needed.

Shutoff Valve Exercise

Each spring

We gently exercise the main shutoff and every fixture stop so each valve still closes properly when it is needed.

Washing Machine Service

Spring and fall

We inspect the supply hoses and clean the front-loader gasket. Burst washer hoses are a leading cause of household water damage; braided replacements are offered when yours are due.

Plus braided hose pair at catalog price if replaced.

On Request

Services performed when you ask for them. Request one from your portal and it is added to your next visit.

Food, grease and mineral scale collect in a filter under the bottom rack. Cleaned twice a year, the dishwasher drains properly, dishes come out cleaner and odors are prevented.

Spring and fall

We flush and deodorize the disposal, clean the splash guard and check for early signs of bearing wear.

Homes with a disposal

Garage Door Service & Safety Tests

Each summer

We lubricate the hinges and rollers, then test the two federally required safety systems: the photo-eye beam and the auto-reverse. Manufacturers recommend testing monthly; few homeowners do.

Air, Heating & Cooling

Furnace and AC filters, vents, fans and dryer exhaust. Regular attention here improves air quality and protects your heating and cooling equipment.

Replacing a furnace filter — Home Strategy LLC
Most requested

Furnace & AC Filter Replacement

Clean filters protect your furnace, your air conditioner and your air quality

A clogged filter forces the furnace and air conditioner to work harder, circulates dust through the house, and is a leading cause of early blower-motor failure. We bring the exact size your system takes and replace it at every visit.

Every visit · plus filter at catalog price

Furnace & AC Filter Replacement

Every visit

We replace your furnace filter at every visit, in the exact size your system takes. Regular replacement improves airflow, reduces dust and extends the life of the blower motor.

Each summer

We rinse the condenser coil, clear the condensate drain and check the refrigerant-line insulation, keeping the outdoor unit efficient through the cooling season.

Humidifier Pad & Damper Changeover

Spring and fall

We install a new water panel each fall and switch the damper at each season change, keeping the humidifier effective and preventing scale buildup.

Plus pad at catalog price.

Dryer Vent Deep Clean

Each fall

We clear lint from the full vent run, from the dryer to the exterior outlet. This shortens drying times and removes a common fire hazard.

Range Hood Filter Service

Spring and fall

We degrease the metal mesh filters and replace charcoal filters as needed, so the hood vents the way it should.

Homes with a range hood

Bath Exhaust Fan Clean & Airflow Check

Each spring

We clean the grilles and blades and confirm airflow at every bath fan. A working fan removes the moisture that leads to mold and mildew.

Smoke & CO Detector Test & Battery Replacement

Tested every visit; batteries replaced each fall

We test every detector at each visit, replace all batteries once a year in the fall, and record the expiration date of each sealed unit so it is replaced before it stops working.

Spring and fall

We test every protected outlet and breaker with its own test button, confirming the protection you already have still works. No panel or wiring work is involved.

Beyond Our ScopeWhat We Coordinate Rather Than Perform

Some work requires a licensed trade. Your home record tells us when it is due, and we can arrange it with a contractor we would use ourselves.

You pay a small coordination fee, and we never accept referral payments from contractors, so the recommendation is always about your house alone.

Septic pumping

Due every three to five years and tracked in your home record, so it is never forgotten.

Water heater replacement

Planned from the age and condition we record each winter, before an unexpected failure.

Softener replacement

Unit age and condition are tracked through the regular salt fills.

HVAC tune-up and repair

Scheduled based on the filter history and the summer condenser check.

Chimney sweep and duct cleaning

Arranged on a schedule for wood-burning homes, and whenever the findings call for it.

Standby generator service

Licensed gas and electrical work in Michigan, so it is coordinated, not performed.

Interior painting is the exception: that we do ourselves, with published prices. See the painting page.
