Fall House Maintenance Checklist

in Home & Lifestyle, Organization on 08/20/19

I live in a part of the US that gets very different weather season to season, and I need to prepare my house for the variations in the weather or I could have major damage. I do this mostly 2 times a year: in spring and fall. For fall, I need to prepare for winter weather that could start anytime between end of September to November.

Fall House Maintenance To Do List

Outside

  • Put away summer equipment like hoses, gardening equipment, etc.
  • Rake leaves, trim up bushes for last time in season
  • Check with plow contractor for seasonal prices
  • Get projects done that require temperate weather and airflow like painting, staining, etc.
  • Prepare yard/house for Christmas lights if possible

Winterize

  • Check outdoor faucets
  • Schedule to have sprinklers blown out, or put it in your calendar to do yourself
  • Protect your outdoor air conditioning unit with cover, or take down window units
  • Do maintenance and winterize outdoor power tools like lawn mower, hedge trimmer, etc.

Stock Up

  • Check inventory of road salt and purchase estimated amount needed for season (price increases the later you buy it!)
  • Buy driveway markers for plow
  • Consider buying thermal curtains to keep in heat during winter
  • Put winter survival kits in each car

Clean

  • Seal windows and door frames with updated weather sealant or clear plastic
  • Scrub out Grill/Smoker for season
  • Wipe down and store deck furniture
  • Clean summer sand out of cars and garage
  • Go through summer clothes and shoes and store for season
  • Clean areas of house that would not be fun to clean in winter weather like garage, three-season room, porch, unfinished basement, etc.
