Fall has officially arrived, and with it, all the pumpkin-flavored goodness we can handle. But before you go full Holidays on me we have a fall maintenance to do around the house! I promise it won’t take long—and you’ll thank yourself when the cold weather rolls in! Just think of me as your little real estate fairy helping you remember all the things you need to do to keep your home in tip top shape! Trust me its so much easier to do these things seasonally versus letting them pile up! Here’s a quick, Saturday morning to-do list that will keep your home in top shape for the cozy months ahead: Gutters: Leaves are beautiful…until they clog your gutters. Don’t let water damage ruin your fall vibes—make sure your gutters are clear and ready to handle the rain! I’ve seen what happens when they’re not, and trust me, it’s not pretty. Fireplace: Before you light that first cozy fire, make sure your chimney’s clean and safe! A quick sweep will make sure your home stays warm and your fireplace stays happy. Efficiency Check: Got chilly drafts sneaking through doors and windows? Seal those babies up! It’s a simple way to keep your house warm and your heating bill under control. HVAC: No one wants to be caught off guard when the temperatures drop. Schedule a heating system check to make sure you’re ready to stay cozy all winter long! Pipes: Insulating your pipes now can save you from a major headache (or an indoor water park) when temps hit freezing. I found these handy spigot covers on Amazon recently and thought I’d pass them along! https://a.co/d/fzhEquH Safety First: Test those smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! A quick check can give you peace of mind as you head into the colder months. I know this is adding a little work to your weekend, but trust me—it’ll be worth it when you’re curled up with hot cocoa, enjoying stress-free winter nights. And as always, if you need help tackling any of these tasks, I’ve got a list of trusted pros ready to assist. Just hit reply and say “shoot me the pros” I’m here for you all year long!
