Autumn is here! Is your home ready? As the seasons change, so does the weather, and as the temperatures drop and storms approach, you need to ensure your home’s exterior is ready for these changes. 

Here’s your fall home exterior prep checklist to get ready for the new season:

Clean The Gutters

Each year, your gutter system helps divert thousands of gallons of rainwater safely away from your house, so it’s crucial to ensure this system doesn’t have any problems. During the fall season, leaves, sticks, and debris can get stuck and clog the gutters, and they’ll need to be cleaned out, especially before winter snow arrives. 

Seal Any Air Leaks

There may be cracks in your walls or spaces in your doorways, which will make it much more difficult and more expensive when you try to heat your homes this winter. Walk around the inside and outside of your home, look for any drafts and cracks, and develop a plan of action to fix them.

Bring Your Outdoor Furniture In

Your furniture may be designed to handle the outdoors, but it’s best not to push what the labels say through hurricanes and snowstorms; you don’t want your money to go to waste. Take some time to find a safe place for your outdoor furniture to spend during the cold weather months before it’s time to put them outside again.

Check Your Siding

Your home’s siding can crack, split, or break from intense winds brought on by storms, so before they arrive, take some time to have them inspected. A siding expert can assess the condition of your siding and recommend any needed repairs. 

Inspect Your Roof

There’s nothing worse than a roof leak damaging your entire home. Regular roof inspections should be at the top of any homeowner’s list of to-do’s, especially during the fall season. Calling a team of professional roofers in CT is ideal since they can thoroughly inspect the entire roofing system and ensure it’s working properly and there are no concerning damages.
