The Ultimate Fall Home Maintenance Checklist –\u00a0<\/b>Top 4 Steps Every Homeowner Should Take this Fall in Ohio and Northern Kentucky<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to take a few steps to stave off any home breakdowns. Fall is the time to check off any last-minute home improvement tasks and we are here to make it as easy as possible for you with our handy list of home maintenance chores.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 <\/span>Replace, Repair or Clean Siding<\/b><\/h3>\n

After a long summer, fall home maintenance is essential, especially since siding can become dirty or mildewed. Fall is a great time to use a pressure washer to clean it up and inspect for more serious problems. If your siding has seen better days (think missing, bent, or cracked pieces), consider replacing it.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 <\/span>Repair Window Seals to Prevent Drafts<\/b><\/h3>\n

All double or triple-pane windows should have a tight seal around their perimeter that separates the individual panes of glass and traps inert gas between them, providing a break between the temperatures inside and outside your home. If you notice that your windows are frequently foggy, that\u2019s likely a sign of a failed seal.<\/p>\n

3. Air Filter Change & Furnace Tune-Up<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most frequently asked questions from homeowners is, \u201cHow often should you change your air filter?\u201d This one really should be a maintenance task you do every month. Dirty air filters can lead to higher energy bills and irreparably damage your HVAC system.<\/p>\n

4. Inspect The Roof & Gutters<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s generally fine to wait until most of the leaves have fallen in autumn to clean out the gutters<\/a> and downspouts, but giving these areas a quick visual inspection now is a good idea. Pull out any sticks or other debris blocking the gutters, and make note of any worn-out seals around vent pipes and chimneys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
