Fall is when small fixes are still small. Wait until the first freeze and they turn into winter repairs. Here are our top five prep items for Atlanta homeowners:
🍂 Clean gutters and make sure downspouts carry water away from the foundation
🔥 Change the HVAC filter, schedule a furnace tune up, and test smoke and CO detectors
🚰 Disconnect hoses, cover outdoor spigots, and winterize irrigation
🪟 Check weatherstripping and caulk around doors and windows
🏠 Look for loose shingles, trim branches over the roof, and get the chimney swept
Need help checking any of these off? Comment FALL and we’ll send you our list of trusted local pros, the same ones we call for our own homes and our clients’.
When we help buyers and sellers in Atlanta, we think about how a house holds up year round, not just how it shows.
