Fall Maintenance: Protect Your Home Before Winter

Hello homeowners and residents! At Synergy Property management, our goal is to keep your homes safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient—no matter the season. Fall is a beautiful time, but it's also the smart homeowner's cue to get ahead of possible winter headaches. Tackling key maintenance now saves you money and stress down the road.

Fall Maintenance Matters

Acting before the cold arrives prevents costly surprises. When leaves fall and temperatures drop, small issues can quickly become big ones. Routine upkeep means fewer emergency repairs and a home that's ready for winter.

How Fall Maintenance Safeguards Your Investment

• Prevents damage: Roofs, siding, and gutters take a hit from rain. Early repairs reduce the risk of leaks.
• Keeps heating reliable: Your furnace works hardest in winter; change the filter.
• Improve energy savings: Sealing drafty windows and doors means more warmth stays inside, utility bills drop.

 Fall Maintenance Checklist

Is your home ready for winter? Here's what we recommend:

• Inspect roofs for loose shingles or tiles
• Clean gutters and downspouts thoroughly
• Seal up leaks around windows and doors
• Check your fence line before it rains
• Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and batteries.
• Prepare landscaping by trimming branches and raking leaves
• Store or winterize lawn equipment, patio furniture, hoses, and faucets
• Chimney cleaning and inspection are great ideas before using.
• Don't forget to clean your dishwashers filter every month (usually under bottom rack) We have seen YouTube videos that explain the process with distilled white vinegar, easy to do
