Home Maintenance Checklist

It's usually the little things that can creap up on you & turn into big problems. So with this in mind, this year we will be offering a monthly checklist for maintaining your home. Following these simple checklists will help you tackle those little projects in a timely manner and help to prevent major issues down the road.

Detach hoses in case of freezing temperatures. Remove all paints, caulks and liquid materials from garage or garden sheds.

Inspect weather-stripping around doors and windows and repair or replace if necessary.

Set thermostats and automatic sprinklers for winter.

Clean gutters after leaves have fallen. Make sure downspouts are in good repair.

When setting clocks back to Standard Time, change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Check gauges on home fire extinguishers to ensure a full charge. Replace if necessary.
