Seasonal Property Care in Reno & Sparks
Seasonal property care from ShieldMePM covers the tasks that come around once or twice a year — irrigation system start-up and winterization, patio furniture set-out and cleaning, and the small concierge extras that keep your property ready without you having to manage the calendar. Pricing starts at $99 for an irrigation start-up, $110 for a winterization blowout, and seasonal packages begin at $349.
We work around Reno's schedule, not a generic one. That means turning on your sprinklers after the last hard freeze in late April, shutting them down before the first killing frost in October, and getting your outdoor furniture out and cleaned when the weather actually stays warm. You get an on-my-way text before we arrive and a photo when the job is done. No chasing us down for updates.
What's included
- Irrigation seasonal start-up — system pressurization, head-by-head inspection, controller programming for TMWA odd/even schedule ($99)
- Irrigation winterization blowout — full zone purge with compressor, backflow protection, controller shutdown ($110)
- Patio furniture set-out — uncover, clean, position, and ready your outdoor furniture for the season
- Patio furniture end-of-season storage — wipe down, cover, and store furniture before winter
- Concierge extras — seasonal walk-through notes, light bulb swaps, gutter spot-checks, gate/hose-bib winterization add-ons
- Spring Wake-Up and Fall Shut-Down packages bundling multiple services at a predictable flat price ($349 / $399)
How it works
- 01
Schedule your seasonal service
Call or text (775) 200-9710 or book online. We'll confirm the right timing for your property — irrigation start-ups typically run late April through mid-May in Reno, winterizations mid-October through early November before hard overnight freezes.
- 02
We show up on time and update you
You get an on-my-way text before we arrive. For irrigation work, we walk every zone, check each head for clogged nozzles or broken risers, and set your controller to comply with TMWA's 3-day odd/even watering windows (no irrigation 11am–7pm).
- 03
Photos and a plain-English summary when done
We send a photo of the completed work and flag anything that needs attention — a cracked valve, a head that needs replacing, furniture that has a busted frame. No upsell pressure, just honest notes.
- 04
Fold it into your membership or keep it a la carte
Complete and Premier members get irrigation start-up and winterization included. If you're not on a membership, you can book any service individually or bundle into the Spring Wake-Up ($349) or Fall Shut-Down ($399) packages.
The Reno difference
Reno sits at roughly 4,400 feet in USDA zone 6b/7a, which means temperature swings that catch irrigation systems off guard. A line left pressurized through an October freeze can crack PVC fittings and blow out backflow preventers — repairs that cost several times what a blowout would have. Reno's clay and caliche soil also holds water differently than coastal yards, so we set controller run times to match actual soil conditions and TMWA's mandatory odd/even schedule. We schedule start-ups and winterizations based on local forecast patterns, not a fixed date on a national calendar.
Questions
- We pressurize the system, inspect every zone and sprinkler head for clogs, tilted heads, or broken risers, test the backflow preventer, and program your controller to run on the correct TMWA odd/even days with no watering between 11am and 7pm. If we find a broken head or valve, we'll note it and can repair it on the same visit or schedule a follow-up.
- Irrigation start-up and winterization are included in the Complete ($169/mo) and Premier ($279/mo) memberships. Patio furniture set-out and concierge extras are available as add-ons for any member or as standalone a la carte visits. Essential members can add individual services at the member rate.
- Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, and property managers. For vacant or rental properties, we can do a seasonal walk-through, set out or store furniture, and send photos so you have a record of property condition — useful for both seasonal prep and tenant transitions.
