The maintenance year in Newfoundland and Labrador
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
Atlantic Canada
Spring storms often bring strong wind and driving rain. Check shingles, flashing and siding for wind damage and leaks.
Summer
June to August
Atlantic Canada
Tropical storms can reach the region in late summer and fall. Secure loose outdoor items and make sure the roof and windows are in good shape.
Fall
September to November
Atlantic Canada
Fall storms can be strong. Trim branches near the house and make sure the sump pump and any backup power are ready.
Winter
December to February
Atlantic Canada
Winter storms can mix snow, rain and wind. Clear heavy, wet snow from low roofs and be ready for power outages.
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 St. John's
We are building this network one city at a time, and St. John's 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.

LokalMatch sells leads, not memberships: a request from St. John's reaches you with the work described, the general area and the price of that lead attached, and you decide whether to buy it.
