Summer is at an end; it's time to prepare your home for the cooler months of autumn. Here are a few things to tend to.

  • Have your heating system serviced and change the filters.
  • Clean out your fireplace, have chimney cleaned, check for loose bricks and mortar.
  • Trim hedges and remove dead or damaged branches from trees.
  • Aerate your lawn and apply a fall fertilizer, rake up leaves.
  • Check and repair weather stripping around doors and windows.
  • Inspect and clean exterior siding and foundation.
  • Test smoke detectors and replace batteries.
  • Drain sediment from hot water tank.
  • Inspect roof, flashing and eaves; repair if necessary.
  • Clean and lubricate garage door hinges, springs and rollers; tighten screws.
  • Protect grills and patio furniture from the elements but storing them away or using weather resistant covers.
  • Ensure that snow removal equipment is serviced and ready for that first snowstorm.

I hope these tips help you prepare your home for the upcoming fall months. If you, friends or relatives ever need help in buying or selling a home I hope you keep me in mind.
