🍂 The Season of Prep (and Prevention)

Fall’s in full swing, and that crisp air means one thing — winter’s not far behind. Before the frost creeps in, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your home ready for the cold months ahead. A few smart moves today can prevent costly repairs tomorrow — and keep your home running smoothly all season long.

🔧 Your Fall Home Prep Checklist

✅ Seal the leaks. Check windows and doors for drafts and seal them up. A tight seal means lower heating bills and a cozier home.

🔥 Service your HVAC system. A quick tune-up now keeps you from freezing later. Change filters and schedule a professional check-up.

🍂 Clean those gutters. Falling leaves look great — until they clog your gutters and cause water damage. Clean them out before the first frost.

🏡 Inspect your roof. Catching missing shingles early can save you from leaks when snow and ice arrive.

🚪 Protect your pipes. Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and bursting — a small step that saves thousands in repairs.

🕯️ Test smoke and CO detectors. Safety first! Replace old batteries and test your alarms before turning up the heat.

🌟 Why It Matters

Think of fall prep as insurance for your comfort (and your wallet). Whether you own or rent, these simple steps safeguard your investment and give you peace of mind — so you can actually enjoy pumpkin spice season without worry.
