Hello World! Welcome Friends! Autumn is a crucial season for all homeowners. Depending on where your home is, you can continue to enjoy a few more dry, sunny days before the arrival of winter. And, these days give you the unique opportunity to keep up with all of those maintenance tasks that allow you to make the most of the cold season – and keep your home in tip-top shape!
Undoubtedly home maintenance represents a cost for all homeowners.
And, in some cases, you will have to budget around 3-4% of the total value of the house for maintenance and repair tasks. And yet, maintenance is what allows your property to retain its value!
Cuddling up under a blanket, sipping on a cup of hot cocoa, immersing yourself in a book, and all other autumnal activities might be calling you – but don’t give in until you’ve completed the checklist below!
Get your Garden Ready for Winter
If you are lucky enough to have a garden, lawn, or backyard on your property, this is the time that it needs the most maintenance. In fact, your plants will need to be covered up to endure the harsh winter temperatures.
Leaves and twigs will need to be raked to keep your outside area neat, tidy, and healthy. Once your garden is ready for winter, you can safely store away your tools and machines. All of this might seem like a lot of work – but it will undoubtedly pay off in spring!
Look After the Roof
Your home’s roof is always a delicate aspect to consider. Many homeowners tend to ignore the importance of maintaining the roof in perfect conditions. However, upkeep your roof means maintaining your property value high and your home safe. Here you can learn How to Identify Signs of Roof Damage during your autumnal inspection – but make sure to also examine your gutters, tubing, sidings, and tiles!
Pro tip: If you have noticed any debris pile-ups, make sure to address them immediately – leaving your gutters clogged will lead to severe water damage when the first winter rains come!
Complete All Remodeling Projects
The pandemic has changed the way we think about our homes, giving them new importance. During the lockdown months, we have all turned our homes into our offices, gyms, cinemas, restaurants, yoga studios, and, more importantly, a safe place in which to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
While restrictions are being eased, the importance of our homes continues to grow. So, if you are looking to invest in new amenities and facilities, this is the best time for your project! Whether you are after a pool, a hot tub, a patio area, or a conservatory, there are plenty of options to improve your home.
Deep Clean Your Home
Cleaning your home is a task that we all keep for spring. However, we all spend the most time indoors during winter, not during summer! And, since the harsh winter temperatures encourage us to keep doors and windows closed, creating a clean and healthy indoor living environment in autumn is paramount. Get started with your deep cleaning tasks today and you will have your home ready for the winter hibernation in no time!
