The maintenance year in Manitoba
What each season asks of a house here, and what is worth booking before it arrives. Each one links to the full checklist.
Spring
March to May
Prairies
Snowmelt can arrive quickly. Check the sump pump and downspouts early, and watch for water pooling while the ground is still frozen.
Summer
June to August
Prairies
Summer storms can bring hail and strong wind. After a storm, look for damage to shingles, siding and eavestroughs.
Fall
September to November
Prairies
Hard freezes can come early. Shut off outdoor taps and winterize irrigation sooner rather than later.
Winter
December to February
Prairies
Extreme cold is common. Protect pipes on outside walls, keep vents clear of drifting snow and have a plan if the heat goes out.
Worth reading before you hire
What things cost, who has to be licensed, and the questions worth asking before you sign anything.

Licensed, insured and bonded are three different things
The phrase runs together on every truck door and every website footer. Each word points at a different document, two of them are issued by bodies you can search yourself, and one of them may not exist for the trade you are hiring.

Where LokalMatch stands in Brandon
We are building this network one city at a time, and Brandon is not finished. No pro has a listing here yet, so there is no shortlist on this page — and we would rather say that than pad one out with names lifted off a directory. Send a request anyway: if nobody can cover it, you will hear that from us rather than hear nothing.

This page is for you as much as for the homeowner reading it. We are after licensed, insured trades who answer their messages and quote what they mean. LokalMatch sells leads, not memberships: a request from Brandon reaches you with the work described, the general area and the price of that lead attached, and you decide whether to buy it.
