The seasons are changing and it’s time to start preparing your home for Fall! No, not breaking out the decor – but keeping up with important maintenance around the house. While we still have a while before Winter hits in Texas, well, let’s be honest what are seasons anyways – it’s never too early to make sure things are in order before we pack it in for the year.

Here’s a list of some simple chores you can do around the house to prepare for Fall and into Winter!

1.       Stow your lawn mower

2.       Store hoses and turn off or reschedule your sprinklers

4.       Clean your gutters

5.       Inspect your roof

6.       Direct drainage away from your home
