We officially welcomed Fall just last week, but Winter is peeking in right around the corner. If you live in colder climates, that means prepping your home for snow and cold temperatures. There are lots of different things to keep track of to keep your home in optimal health, so here is a handy list!
Clean gutters- Remove leaves and branches from downspouts and window wells
- Concrete sealer on the driveway
- Caulk cracks at doors and windows
- Repair broken glass, doors, windows
- Roof inspection to seal and replace missing shingles
- Check flashings at doors, windows, roofs–any penetration to the home should be sealed
- Drain exterior water spigots if needed.
- Change furnace filters
- Drain a gallon or two of water from the water heater
- Check the humidifier for proper operation
- Get some blown in insulation if needed
- Repair/replace loose or missing railings, steps, concrete
