A True Story

Mark's deck cost him $4,800 last Spring

Mark was organised. He had the main Playbook, did his 30-day checklist, knew where his shutoffs were. Good first quarter.

Then Spring arrived and he didn't have a Spring protocol. So he did what most homeowners do — he looked at the deck, thought it looked fine, and moved on.

Six weeks later he put a garden chair through the decking. The wood wasn't rotten on top — it was rotten underneath, at the joists, where winter moisture had been sitting since November. A Spring probe check catches this in 10 minutes.

The repair was $4,800. This bundle costs $47.

The main Playbook covers Spring and Fall at the right level for year-one homeowners. This bundle goes deeper — the specific checks, the exact timing, and the contractor knowledge that turn Spring and Fall from your two most expensive seasons into your two most protected ones.


What's Inside

~30 pages of professional-grade seasonal protocols

Use every March and every September. Each checklist takes about 90 minutes to work through — and prevents problems that take days and thousands to fix.

🌿
Spring Deep-Dive Master Checklist
22 tasks across 6 weeks (March–May). Goal: wake up the house after winter, prevent water damage, prepare for summer heat. The $4,000 question — did anything get in over winter?
🍂
Fall Deep-Dive Master Checklist
23 tasks across 6 weeks (September–November). Goal: prepare for winter, maximise efficiency, prevent frozen pipe and furnace emergencies. The golden rule — everything you skip in October becomes an emergency call in January.
⚠️
What Could Go Wrong This Season
The most expensive seasonal emergencies — mapped to the checklist task that prevents each one. See the cost if caught early vs. the cost if missed.

Inside the Bundle

A preview of both seasonal checklists

🌿 SPRING
March–May · 6 Weeks
Wake up the house after winter. Find what got in. Prevent water damage.

Week 1–2: Exterior & Water Defence

  • Clean gutters & downspouts — clogged downspouts cause 70% of basement issues
  • Inspect roof for winter damage — missing shingles, flashing gaps, granule loss
  • Inspect foundation for new cracks or efflorescence
  • Test and clean sump pump — before you need it in a spring storm
  • Power-wash exterior — reveals hidden rot and mould

Week 3–4: Systems & Interiors

  • Service HVAC — change filter AND book professional tune-up
  • Re-caulk window and door seals — gaps cost $300–$600/year in energy
  • Inspect deck and patio for rot or loose boards
  • Clean chimney — Spring is the cheapest time to book

Week 5–6: Protection & Prevention

  • Inspect attic for mould or pest evidence — $500 fix now vs. $5,000 in autumn
  • Deep-clean dryer vent — leading cause of house fires
  • Trim trees 10 feet from roof — branches in a storm: $10,000+ damage

⭐ Spring Pro Tip

Best time to book spring contractors: mid-March. Prices jump 20–30% by late April when everyone calls at once.

🍂 FALL
September–November · 6 Weeks
Prepare for winter. Everything you skip in October becomes a January emergency.

Week 1–2: Exterior Shutdown

  • Clean gutters — second time this year. Autumn leaves block downspouts fast
  • Service furnace and heating system — run a 30-minute test in September
  • Inspect roof — last chance before winter. Anything loose = February leak
  • Drain and winterize outdoor faucets — frozen hose bibs are completely preventable
  • Seal driveway and concrete cracks — water + freeze = $400 repair from $15 fix

Week 3–4: Systems & Weatherproofing

  • Check attic insulation — often the biggest driver of high winter heating bills
  • Inspect chimney and have it swept — book August, October slots fill in days
  • Check windows and doors for drafts — a draught you feel = $200–$400/year
  • Stock emergency supplies — power outages far more common in winter

Week 5–6: Final Checks

  • Test sump pump again — second test of the year before ground freezes
  • Test all smoke and CO detectors — heating-related CO incidents spike in winter
  • Review insurance policy — does it cover pipe bursts and ice dams?

⭐ Fall Pro Tip

Book furnace service in August. By October most HVAC companies are 3–4 weeks out and charging premium rates.

Included: 7 Contractor Scripts

Copy-paste scripts that save you $300–$800 a year

Use these word for word before every contractor call. Contractors respect prepared homeowners — and consistently reward them with better rates.

1
Initial Call — Building a Long-Term Relationship
"Hi, I'm a new homeowner looking to build an ongoing relationship for annual maintenance. I plan to use the same contractor for the next 3–5 years. What package rate can you offer for [service] if I book the full year upfront?"
Signals loyalty and long-term value. Contractors prefer repeat customers — this one line consistently triggers goodwill and sharper pricing.
4
When They Quote High
"I appreciate the quote. I'm comparing three contractors right now and planning to give all my annual maintenance to one person. If you can come in at $XXX and include [small extra], I'll book both Spring and Fall today."
Bundling Spring and Fall gives them twice the revenue for one negotiation. Most contractors will move on price to secure both.
5
Handling Unexpected Cost Increases Mid-Job
"I appreciate you flagging that. Before we proceed, can you put the revised scope and cost in writing so I can review it?"
Slows down pressure tactics immediately. Legitimate contractors always agree to this. Hesitation is a red flag.

+ 4 more scripts inside the bundle covering email follow-ups, price push-back, bundling multiple jobs, and referral requests.


$2K–$4K
Average savings per year for homeowners who follow the seasonal protocols

Questions

Common questions

Do I need the main HomePlaybook guide first? +
The bundle works as a standalone — the checklists and scripts are complete on their own. But it's designed to pair with the 12-month HomePlaybook Mastery guide. The main guide covers the full year; this bundle adds depth to Spring and Fall specifically.
How often do I use this? +
Twice a year — once in March (Spring checklist) and once in September (Fall checklist). The contractor scripts you'll use any time you're getting quotes for seasonal work. Most homeowners keep it bookmarked and pull it up at the start of each season.
What's the difference between this and the main guide? +
The main guide gives you the right level of seasonal detail for a first-year homeowner on a 12-month calendar. This bundle goes significantly deeper on Spring and Fall — 6-week week-by-week protocols, specific emergency risk tables, advanced DIY vs Hire decisions, and full contractor script templates you won't find in the main guide.
What's the refund policy? +
Full refund within 30 days, no questions asked. Also covered by the Save $370 or It's Free guarantee. See our Refund Policy.
