6 Fall Maintenance Tips for Your St. Louis Home

Just like that, fall is here. Pumpkin spice is everywhere, the days are getting a little shorter, and Halloween candy is filling every empty inch of the grocery store aisles. And, ready or not, winter will be right on its heels. Now is a golden opportunity to protect your home before the weather turns, minimizing winter damage and maximizing value. Here are a few of our favorite seasonal reminders!

Don’t Forget To...

Clear Your Gutters!

It may not seem like a big deal, but piles of leaves and debris lead to clogged gutters, which leads to backed up water/run-off, and that can lead to serious water damage. Nobody needs that.

Touch Up Paint and Stain!

If you wait until your paint or stain is old and failing, you’ve waited too long. Ongoing touch-ups and refinishing are a wise investment, helping your finishes to last longer and protect your surfaces more effectively.

Service Your Heat System!

A quick service call to clean and inspect your system can pay huge dividends. Your boiler or furnace will run more efficiently and safely, and you also may head off a potential issue with a proactive inspection. You’ll be glad you did when the snow is flying!

Check for Wood Rot!

Rot can start in small, seemingly harmless ways, and then suddenly become a major threat. A knowledgeable check across all typical weak points can catch a problem while it’s still small, protecting your peace of mind AND budget. Trim, window sills, fascia, deck boards, railings, etc. 

Trim Your Landscaping!

Speaking of rot, did you know that allowing shrubs and bushes to brush up against your siding can lead to wood rot and pest intrusion? Do your home a favor and give it a short haircut.

Check Your Caulking!

Homeowners who know to check caulking are few and far between. Over time caulk will grow brittle, and even break, opening your home’s armor to water intrusion, pests, and lost efficiency. Do a perimeter check, especially around your windows, and make sure the seal is good.
