10 Fall Home Maintenance Tips
With the weather outside looking more and more like fall and less and less like summer, we thought we’d reiterate some of our top fall home maintenance tips!
- Clean your gutters and your downspouts and make sure your downspouts have plenty of room to drain.
- Check all your outside doors for weather stripping. This can make all the difference with the inside temperature of your home and can save lots of money on your utility bills.
- Check the grading around your house and walkways. This can keep your basement dry in case of lots of rain or melting snow.
- Pull weeds and hidden debris in and around your yard and flower beds.
- Shut off the water taps and make sure all your outdoor taps are drained.
- Trim your trees to make sure none of them are hanging over your home.
- Mulch any young or vulnerable plants and trees. This can help them survive the harsh winter temperatures.
- Pack up all your outdoor furniture and decor. Winter temperatures can be harsh on outdoor furniture.
- Check all your outdoor lighting to make sure it works. Winter means colder temperatures and less daylight hours!
- Make sure any outdoor trash cans or recycling receptacles are easily accessible. No one wants to trudge through ice, slush, or snow to take out the trash!
