You know it’s fall in South Dakota when the leaves start changing, the mornings get cold, and everyone suddenly remembers there’s a list of things they probably should have done before winter.
Here’s your friendly reminder:
Clean those gutters
Get the furnace checked
Disconnect those garden hoses
Check the roof for damage
Look for drafts around doors and windows
Test those smoke & CO detectors
Trim any branches that look like they’re planning to introduce themselves to your roof
A little maintenance now can save you from a “well…that’s going to be expensive” conversation in January.
If you own a rental property or vacation home in the Black Hills, Bear Property Management can help keep an eye on the details, because you have enough to worry about when the South Dakota weather decides to do South Dakota things.
