Is your property ready for winter? Does your home need some upkeep done to it? Here are some basic ways to tidy up around the house and make sure that it is ready for the upcoming winter season.
Stand back and look at your home, really look at it. Do you see something that can be improved on? Do you notice that something might need to be fixed? How does it compare to the other homes on the block? Can you do something to make your home more functional and look better? Larger remodeling projects might have to wait until spring, but there are things you can do now.
When it comes to the fall, one of the best things you can do for the look and life of your home is prepare it for the harsh Minnesota winter. You can do this with the simplest of repairs and fixes before the snow starts to fly and the ice hits the roof. By preparing ahead of time you’re acting now so you do not have to pay big later on.
Your lawn should not be neglected either. You should prune and clean up the outside of your home to ensure that it is not looking overgrown throughout the season. It can nicely frame the structure of the home if it is done the correct way. Make sure to leave at least 12″ of room between the trees and your home to ensure that mildew and algae does not build up on the side of the house.
Seal up any cracks that you may find throughout your home on all of the windows and doors. You could lose a lot of money if you do not do this. The garage is one big place where heat and cold air can come in and be lost so finding these problem areas can actually benefit you when the snow falls.
