Taking care of your home through the seasons is important. It keeps your house looking young and healthy, and will you more years of enjoyment. And it means it will be in better shape when the day comes that you call me to list and sell your house!
The following tips recently ran in a Plain Dealer article:
Chimney - Have it cleaned and inspected each year before using it.
Gutters - Keep cleaning them out during the fall so leaves don't create a blockage. Do a final removal and even hose them out before winter comes. Clogged drains are a major source of ice dams and can lead to big problems
Windows - You have until the end of December to take advantage of the $1,5000 tax credit for new energy-efficient windows
Furnace - Have it cleaned and tune annually
Pipes - Frozen pipes are a nightmare! Make sure water from inside your house to your outside hoses is shut off and drain the lines. You might even wrap and insulate any pipes that are near external walls.
Alarms - Always make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working. I want to keep you around long-term as my client and friend!
