Welcome to a fun, whimsical twist on home upkeep! At Cutler Real Estate, we know that keeping your home safe, efficient, and beautiful shouldn't feel like a chore.
Deep in the autumn forest, Hansel and Gretel knew that cold days were fast approaching. Rather than relying on a trail of breadcrumbs that birds might eat, they left a clear trail of fall home maintenance tasks to prepare their cottage for the long, freezing winter ahead!
Before winter trickery catches you off guard, use our autumn home winterization guide to keep your house warm, safe, and cozy.
Don't wait for the first freeze to realize your heating system is out of order:
Schedule a certified HVAC professional to clean and inspect furnace burners, igniters, and safety controls.
Replace furnace filters to keep clean air circulating throughout your home.
Bleed radiator valves to release trapped air pockets in hot-water systems.
A roaring fire makes autumn evenings cozy, but creosote buildup in your chimney is a real danger:
Have a professional chimney sweep clean flues and inspect brickwork annually.
Test the damper to make sure it opens and seals tightly when closed.
Inspect fireplace glass doors and firebricks for cracks.
Falling leaves may look magical, but clogged gutters can cause terrifying winter ice dams!
Scoop out leaves and debris after trees shed their foliage.
Verify that gutter brackets are securely fastened to hold heavy snow weight.
Ensure downspouts divert water well away from your foundation and walkways.
Keep icy breezes outside and cozy heat inside by sealing up drafty cracks:
Caulk around the exterior window and door frames.
Apply weatherstripping to doors and window sashes.
Install shrink-wrap insulation kits on drafty single-pane windows.
Water expands when it freezes, which can burst pipes and create a nightmare:
Disconnect and drain outdoor garden hoses, then store them indoors.
Turn off indoor shut-off valves for outdoor faucets and drain remaining water.
Have lawn sprinkler systems blown out with compressed air.
