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.

Elkhorn homes and what they need
Elkhorn started as a small town — Old Town Elkhorn still has its main street — and is now one of the fastest-growing parts of Omaha, with most homes built in subdivisions since the 2000s. New homes don’t need much fixing, but they need a lot of setting up, and in the first few years drywall shows settling with nail pops and hairline cracks.

Seasonal work in Elkhorn
New construction means new move-ins year-round, peaking in summer — and the first winter in a new house is when settling cracks and nail pops tend to show up.
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
Elkhorn questions
Can you do move-in setup in a new Elkhorn home?
Yes. TV mounting, curtain rods, blinds, shelving, furniture assembly and swapping builder-grade fixtures can all be handled in one visit.
My new house has cracks in the drywall. Is that normal?
Hairline cracks at corners and nail pops are common in the first few years as a new house settles and the lumber dries. They’re usually cosmetic and are straightforward to repair once the house has settled in.
