Fall Home Maintenance Checklist: Prepare Your Andover Home

As the leaves begin to change in Andover, it’s the perfect time to tackle a few home maintenance tasks that will keep your property in top shape all season long. A little preparation now can save you time, money, and headaches as the weather cools down. Here’s a handy checklist to help you get started:

• Clean Gutters & Downspouts: Remove leaves and debris to prevent water damage and ice dams later in the year.
• Check the Roof: Look for missing shingles or signs of wear—early repairs can prevent costly leaks.
• Service Your Heating System: Schedule a professional tune-up to ensure your furnace or boiler is ready for chilly nights.
• Seal Windows & Doors: Inspect for drafts and add weatherstripping or caulk as needed to keep your home cozy and energy-efficient.
• Prep the Yard: Rake leaves, trim shrubs, and store outdoor furniture. Don’t forget to shut off and drain exterior faucets!

Staying on top of these simple tasks will help your home stay comfortable and protected all autumn long. If you need recommendations for local service providers or have questions about fall maintenance, I’m always here to help!
