The adage is particularly true when dealing with seasonal home maintenance. By taking a proactive approach, you\u2019ll have ample time to manage many of the tasks yourself and to arrange for help with other items, as needed. In the long run, you\u2019ll save yourself time, money\u2014and a few headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my annual fall\/winter home maintenance checklist:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Check Screens\/Windows.<\/strong> Remove screens and store in the basement or garage. Check windows for gaps, cracks and\/or broken seals. If the windows need to be replaced, do it now. There is a misconception that windows can\u2019t be replaced in\u00a0the winter, but we manage replacement year round, helping our customers eliminate drafts, improve energy efficiency and save big on their heating bills.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Test the Furnace.<\/strong> Turn on your furnace and check for proper function now\u2014before you really need it\u2014to avoid being left in the cold.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Clean Gutters.<\/strong> Make sure gutters are free of leaves, acorns, pine straw, etc. This will allow for water to drain and help prevent damming which can lead to ice damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Check Outdoor Outlets.<\/strong> Make sure your outdoor outlets are working now\u2014before you head outside to string lights\u00a0for the holidays.<br \/>\n<strong>5. Smoke Detector Audit.<\/strong> This is a great time of year to change the batteries in all smoke detectors and run a test to ensure they\u2019re working properly.<br \/>\n<strong>6. Shut Down Outdoor Water Supply.<\/strong> By turning off the water supply to all outdoor faucets, you\u2019ll help to prevent\u00a0the water lines from freezing and thawing, which can cause pipes to burst and result in flooding when the weather begins to warm up in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that work out of the way early, you\u2019ll be ready for whatever the season throws at you.<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">&#8211;<i>\u00a0Dover Remodeling<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Interested in home remodeling?\u00a0Contact<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Remodeling | The Home Maintenance Checklist For Fall and Winter Home Remodeling |\u00a0An ounce of prevention is worth a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1026,1027],"tags":[1010],"class_list":["post-4436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-remodeling","category-home-remodeling-trends","tag-home-remodeling-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Home Remodeling | The Home Maintenance Checklist For Fall and Winter<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Home Remodeling | Medina Exteriors and Remodeling - 4029 Jefferson St, Medina, OH | Have questions?
