It’s Officially Fall – Is Your Home Ready?
I know we’ve mentioned this in the last couple of weeks. However, it’s so important I believe it is worth revisiting. It is officially fall. Very soon, if not already, the leaves will turn, and then fall and then cold weather is most likely upon us. The question is have you put forth the necessary effort for your home to be ready. Many of us have an enemy is this situation: procrastination. Definitely not our friend when its time to ready the house for fall…and yes…winter. That being said here are just a few reminders of the things we should check and or do to be completely, well maybe not completely, for fall and winter. These are borrowed from our good friend in the home improvement biz Bob Villa.
10 Fall Home Maintenance Musts
- Check exterior for peeling paint and make corrections.
- Clean out gutters and downspouts and flush with water.
- Caulk windows.
- Inspect roof for missing and loose shingles.
- Ready the fireplace by making sure the gaskets still are good working condition to make a tight seal.
- Have the heating system serviced to be sure it is running efficiently and effectively.
- Reverse ceiling fans to create an upward draft for warm air.
- Cover air conditioners.
- Clean and store all lawn equipment and ready snow equipment.
- Prepare the deck for winter. Make any repairs to outdoor furniture and store along with placing the grill in a protected area.
