~November Maintance Checklist~

A few things to get your home ready before the freezing temperatures and snow falling:

  • Seal the driveway- Inspect your driveway for cracks. Clean out and repair any damage with driveway filler, then coat with a commercial sealer.

  • Ready the Fireplace- Have your heating system checked by a licensed heating contractor. Heating systems will last longer, be more efficient, and have fewer problems if serviced properly. Get your wood stove & fireplace in working order. Look for a tight seal.

  • Reverse Ceiling Fan- Change the direction of your ceiling fan to create an upward draft that redistributes warm air from the ceiling.

  • Clean Yard Equipment- This includes draining fuel from all gas-operated equipment such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and chain saws.

  • Prepare Deck for Winter- Cover and store outdoor furniture and barbeques in a protected area. Make sure all soil is emptied from pots & planters.

Fall Home Maintance Checklist

  • Caulk Windows- Be sure to caulk around windows and door frames to prevent heat from escaping

  • Check for peeling paint- peeling paint is a sign that the existing paint film is failing and can no longer protect the siding of the building

  • Roof- Make sure the roof is in good shape. Inspect for missing and loose shingles

  • Clean the Gutters- After leaves have fallen, clean out the gutters and downspouts, flush them with water, inspect joints, and tighten brackets if necessary

October Is Fire Safety Month

This is the Perfect time to make sure your home-and family- are safe.

 Regardless of whether they are hardwired, interconnected, or battery-powered, you should have smoke detectors on every level of your home, particularly in the kitchen, hallways near bedrooms, and the basement. Purchasing a fire extinguisher is one of the best investments a homeowner can make.

Should you ever need to use it, just remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin to release the Handle; Aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire; Squeeze the trigger; and Sweep the discharge stream at the base of the fire.

Be Safe.
