Cold weather prep

Holidays are coming and usually that's when we are at our busiest. Take some stress off your plate by doing some cold weather prep now. Here is a simple list to get you started: Prune plants, trees, and any bushes. Rake leaves as they fall to keep rot off your grass. clean out your garage and storage areas. Check your furnace and filter. Clean out roofing gutters and check downspouts for any blockages. Consider carpet cleaning to get rid of the summer dirt. Prep lawn with fall fertilizer and make sure to keep your lawn cut to at about 2-2 1/2 inches long. This is ideal to prevent snow mold and not too short to stress your grass during the winter. Now is a good time to overseed, just make sure to aerate first. Check you seals around windows and doors. Before it starts to reach freezing temperatures shut down sprinklers and drain outside faucets. Cover patio furniture and make sure to store your yard equipment and make any required preparations.

Home maintenance myths

Here are 6 maintenance myths you need to know about: Solid surface countertops are indestructible. Heat and hard hits can cause damage. Smoke detectors test buttons ensure they work. Use smoke from a candle or match to test it. Short lawns mean less mowing. Keep lawns 1-3 inches. You save energy when the AC is off when you're not home. Your AC has to work overtime to cool your house when you get home. No gutter maintenance is needed with gutter guards. Smaller debris can still get in and cleaning may still be needed. Permits for renovations aren't necessary. Make sure to contact your local planning office before starting a major project or build.
