At The Beshara Real Estate Team, we don’t just help our clients buy and sell—we’re also here to help you care for and protect your investment year-round. Whether you’re planning to stay put or preparing your home for the fall market, this Fall Home Prep Checklist will make sure you’re ready for the season ahead.
✅ Your Fall Home Prep Checklist
1. Inspect & Clean Gutters
🍂 Falling leaves are beautiful… until they clog your gutters. Prevent water damage by clearing out debris and checking for leaks.
Pro Tip: Install gutter guards to save yourself time later!
2. Seal Drafts Around Doors & Windows
Lower your heating bill and stay cozy by checking for air leaks and sealing them with caulk or weatherstripping.
Why it matters: Buyers love energy-efficient homes, and this simple fix adds real value!
3. Schedule Your HVAC Tune-Up
Don’t wait until it’s cold! Get your heating system serviced now to avoid breakdowns later.
✅ Replace filters
✅ Check vents
✅ Schedule professional maintenance
We can recommend trusted local HVAC pros if you need help!
4. Prep Your Fireplace or Chimney
🪵 Dreaming of cozy nights by the fire? Make sure your fireplace is clean and safe before lighting that first log. A certified chimney sweep can remove buildup and inspect for hazards.
5. Check Smoke & CO Detectors
With windows shut and heaters running, safety is a top priority. Test your alarms and replace batteries.
6. Store Outdoor Furniture
Protect your patio investment by cleaning and covering outdoor cushions, furniture, and grills before the first frost hits.
7. Drain & Disconnect Hoses
🧊 Avoid burst pipes by shutting off outdoor water lines and storing hoses indoors.
8. Fertilize & Reseed Your Lawn
Fall is ideal for giving your yard a head start on spring. Aerate, fertilize, and fill in bare patches now.
9. Inspect Your Roof
A quick roof inspection could save you thousands later. Look for missing shingles, soft spots, or signs of wear.
