The Tampa Bay Home Calendar

Your home doesn't run on four generic seasons.

It runs on hurricane season, humidity season, pollen season, and the six good weeks for pressure-washing. Here's what actually matters, and when.

Hurricane Season Jun – Nov

Roof checks, shutters and impact glass, generators, and getting flood insurance timing right.

Peak Heat & Humidity Jun – Sep

AC systems under real strain, attic ventilation, and keeping mold and mildew out of the house.

Cool & Dry Season Dec – Feb

The best window all year for roofing, exterior painting, and pressure-washing projects.

Pollen & Pest Season Mar – May

Termite swarm season, lawn pests waking up, and spring maintenance before the heat arrives.
