It's time to start thinking about preparing your home for falling leaves and cooler weather. Tackling a few fall home improvement tasks now can help ward off issues later in the season, so you can enjoy everything you love about this season worry-free.
Seal Windows and Doors
To stop air leaks and prevent your home heating and cooling dollars from vanishing in the wind, seal any air leaks around windows and doors. Consider replacing your weatherstripping as it can deteriorate. In addition to inspecting weatherstripping, check for missing or damaged caulk around windows, doors, and entry points for electrical, cable, phone, and gas.
Install Gutter Guards
Gutters keep water out of your home, but they can clog and stop working if you don’t regularly clean them. Homeowners who don’t want to constantly climb up a ladder can invest in gutter guards. There are many different types of gutter guard systems, but most fit inside or on top of your existing gutters.
