Here’s a great article that outlines in simple steps what any person living in a house (homeowner and tenant alike) is recommended to do before the winter months set in. I know we’ve said this before but this stuff is important for home maintenance! Here’s some of our favorite tips (although all of them are important!):

1. Clean the gutters!! So many issues derive from clogged gutters. Make sure to keep them clear!

2. Clean and replace the filters in your furnace/heating system.

3. If you are thinking of painting the exterior do it now! (Before the rain sets in…)

4. Aerate your lawn! Then spread fertilizer and grass seed.

5. Check your attic/basement/crawl space for unwanted pests!

6. Check your cabron monoxide and smoke detectors! Change the batteries!

Have a great day!
