Fall: freeze prep
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect garden hoses, shut and drain outdoor faucets, and add insulated covers. Weatherstrip drafty doors and recaulk windows while it’s still warm enough for caulk to cure.

Dundee homes and what they need
Dundee is one of Omaha’s classic streetcar neighborhoods, built out mostly in the early 1900s with brick and frame Craftsman, Tudor and Colonial Revival homes on tree-lined streets around the Underwood Avenue business district. These houses are well built, but they’re old: plaster walls, wood windows and doors that have moved with a century of seasons, and bathrooms and kitchens that have been updated in layers.

Seasonal work in Dundee
Dundee’s big old trees are part of its charm until a spring thunderstorm brings limbs down across the yard — storm debris hauling is a regular spring and summer job here.
Winter: cold-weather problems
Omaha winters bring stretches well below freezing. Pipes on exterior walls and in unheated spaces are the ones at risk; a split hose bib or a frozen line usually shows up as a leak once it thaws.
Spring: storm cleanup
Spring thunderstorms bring wind and hail that drop limbs and scatter debris across yards. Branches and storm debris get cut down, loaded and hauled away.
Summer: moving season
Late spring through summer is peak moving season, especially at month-end when leases turn over. Humidity also swells wood doors — the ones that stick in July.
FAQ
Dundee questions
Do you work on older homes in Dundee?
Yes — most Dundee homes are early-1900s, and the common repairs here are plaster patching, sticking doors, fixture swaps and bathroom fixes. Anything that touches old wiring beyond a like-for-like swap gets flagged for an electrical contractor instead.
Can you haul away branches after a storm in Dundee?
Yes. Downed limbs and branches can be cut to manageable size, loaded and hauled away. Large trees down on a house or near power lines are a job for a tree service or the utility.
