Home Projects to do in the Fall!

As the weather grows colder, it’s that time of year to fix-up and replace things in your home to prepare for winter! Use the fall season to finish up these home improvement projects so you’re all set for this winter! 

Replace Your Furnace Filter - a dirty furnace filter can make your furnace work harder to heat your home, which will drive up your utility bill! It can also compromise your air quality so be sure to switch your filter out! 

Inspect the Weatherstripping - this is the perfect time to inspect the weatherstripping around your doors and windows, especially your garage door! If the seals are compromised, cold air can seep in and drive up your heat bill! 

Clean Your Gutters - make sure you clean out your gutters before the snow starts to fall to avoid overflow and damage to your roof! 

Replace Missing Shingles - if your roof has missing or damaged shingles, make sure to replace these to prevent them becoming troublesome leaks in the future! 

Winterize Irrigation Systems - make sure to have your irrigation system blown out to remove any water and prevent freezing that may ruin your sprinklers! It’s also the perfect time to put away your garden hose and shut off your exterior water faucets.
