Fall Home Maintenance Checklist

Fall is coming! We’re one full day away from the First Day of Fall!

We know many of our customers are slowly preparing for the upcoming change in season. Even though the upcoming week’s weather doesn’t appear to be fall like, we still want our customers to prep for the season. This includes the changing of weather: cooler temps, frost, rain and maybe even snow.

Fall gives us many things to enjoy, but there are also important home maintenance items to squeeze into your busy schedule. This check provides both indoor and outdoor activities to complete your fall maintenance. Some of the tasks can save you thousands of dollars if you catch them early enough. Be sure to complete each task thoroughly so you don’t miss any potential issues.

Outdoor Tasks

• Put Away Outdoor Furniture
• Inspect Chimney & Roof for Damages
• Clean Downspouts & Gutters
• Rake Leave & Dispose (it is strongly recommended to not burn leaves)
• Cut Back Perennial Plants & Mulch

Indoor Tasks
