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.

Aksarben & Elmwood Park homes and what they need
This area mixes two very different kinds of housing. Aksarben Village was built on the former Ak-Sar-Ben racetrack site with apartments, condos and townhomes, while the streets around Elmwood Park and the University of Nebraska Omaha are lined with brick and frame homes from the early-to-mid 1900s. Newer units need setup and small upgrades; the older homes need the repairs that come with age.

Seasonal work in Aksarben & Elmwood Park
With UNO next door, move-ins and move-outs here follow the academic calendar — late summer and late spring are busiest, so book early.
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
Aksarben & Elmwood Park questions
Can you help with an apartment move near UNO?
Yes. Loading, unloading and carrying furniture up apartment stairs are common jobs here, especially in late summer and late spring when leases turn over. Book ahead for those weeks.
Can you patch walls before my lease ends?
Yes. Anchor and nail holes get filled, sanded and primed so the walls are ready for paint or a move-out inspection.
