End of Summer Home Maintenance Tips

(Published on - 8/10/2023 6:14:03 PM)

As we are entering the middle of August, it is time to start preparing for the end of summer, and the entrance of fall and winter. There are many ways to prepare for colder weather, and it is best to start now when it is still warm outside! This list will help prepare your home for the changing seasons! 

#1 - Clean Outdoor Furniture

Your outdoor furniture has been bearing the elements for the last few months, and it is time to give it a good clean! Along with your furniture, give your pillows and rugs a good clean too! This will save you time when you’re ready to pack it all away for the winter! 

#2 - Check Your Gutters

This summer has brought lots of heavy rainfall, and there will be more to come as we enter the fall and winter! Cleaning your gutters will prevent issues in the future, especially when the leaves start falling!

#3 - Exterior Painting

Once the weather gets colder, you won’t have the opportunity to get your house painted, so it’s best to book now! It is recommended to paint above 50? and knowing Wisconsin, that can happen at almost any time! 

#4 - Check Your Windows

As we prepare for temperatures to drop, it is important to check your windows for any damages, and also for any gaps that might have formed. It’s better to do window repairs before it’s too cold outside! 

#5 - Check Your Patios/Decks

Although it’s (hopefully) a few months away, snow and ice are in the future, and you want to make sure your patios and decks are in proper shape to handle the large amounts of snow and ice we may get! 

#6 - Check Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Detectors

This is important to do all throughout the year, so what better time to do it than with a changing season. Making sure the batteries are working properly can save lives!
