![Fall Home Maintenance Checklist: Protect Your Investment Before Winter Hits 🍂
As the leaves start changing, it's time to prep your home for the colder months ahead! A little maintenance now can save you thousands in repairs later and help maintain your home's value.
Your Fall To-Do List:
🔥 Schedule a heating system tune-up – Get ahead of the rush and ensure your system runs efficiently all winter
🍃 Clean those gutters – Remove leaves and debris to prevent ice dams and water damage
💧 Winterize outdoor water sources – Drain hoses, shut off exterior water valves, and insulate exposed pipes
🪑 Store or cover patio furniture – Protect your investment from harsh weather damage
Pro tip: Start with your heating system first – HVAC companies get booked quickly once the temperature drops, and you don't want to be left in the cold!
Taking care of these tasks now not only keeps your family comfortable but also protects one of your biggest investments. A well-maintained home holds its value better and attracts buyers if you ever decide to sell.
