🍁 WISCONSIN FALL HOME CHECKLIST 🏡
Before Wisconsin decides it’s going to be 75° on Tuesday and winter by Friday… 😂❄️ now is the perfect time to give your home a little fall TLC!
A few things to knock off the list before the cold weather hits:
🍂 Clean out your gutters – Get those leaves and debris out before freezing temps arrive.
🔥 Change your furnace filter – Your furnace is about to clock back in for its full-time job.
🚰 Disconnect outdoor hoses & check exterior faucets – Frozen pipes are NOT the kind of winter surprise anyone wants.
🪟 Check windows & doors for drafts – A little weather stripping can help keep the warm air in and your heating bill down.
🪵 Have your fireplace & chimney checked – Especially if cozy fires are part of your winter plans!
🏠 Take a look at your roof – Check for missing or damaged shingles before they're covered in snow.
🌳 Trim branches near your house – Heavy snow and ice + questionable tree branches = a combination we don't need.
🚨 Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors – Quick, easy and important!
🧂 Bonus Wisconsin points: Find the snow shovel and ice melt NOW instead of waiting until the first snowstorm and wondering where you put them last April. 😂
A little maintenance now can save you from some very expensive headaches later.
And if getting your house ready for winter has you thinking, “Maybe I’d rather just sell the thing…” 👀
