What should I do to get my home ready for fall?

Clean gutters, service your heating system, seal drafts around windows and doors, and winterize outdoor faucets and sprinklers. Store patio furniture and garden tools. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Inspect the roof and chimney. Apply fall fertilizer to your lawn and aerate if needed. Stock up on ice melt and snow removal supplies before winter arrives.

Why It Matters

Fall preparation is your last opportunity to address exterior issues before winter makes repairs difficult and expensive.
