Fall Home Maintenance Task List

The holidays are right around the corner! But nothing puts a damper on the fun like an unexpected repair. Take the time now to do these basic tasks so your home will be ready once the festivities start. 

 

 

 

 

• Clean gutters and downspouts

• Service heating system and change furnace filter
• Test smoke and CO detectors

With cooler weather settling in, your home’s systems work a little harder — from the heating unit to the fireplace and even exterior lighting. Taking care of routine upkeep now not only keeps your home comfortable but also prevents costly repairs later in the year.

Here in Corpus Christi, coastal weather can bring added wear from humidity, salt air, and seasonal storms. Sealing windows and inspecting your roof can go a long way toward protecting your home from moisture and drafts. Regular maintenance keeps your home safe, efficient, and ready for guests — and it’s a great way to preserve your property’s value year-round.
