Fall Home Maintenance Tips

Contents

As fall approaches in Michigan, it’s important to get your home ready for the colder months ahead. Here are 10 key maintenance tasks tailored for Michigan homeowners:

  1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Remove leaves and debris to prevent clogs and ice dams as temperatures drop.
  2. Inspect the Roof: Check for damaged or missing shingles to avoid leaks from snow and freezing rain.
  3. Seal Windows and Doors: Apply caulk or weatherstripping to block drafts and boost energy efficiency.
  4. Service the Furnace: Schedule a professional inspection and replace the filter to ensure reliable heating for the colder months.
  5. Inspect Chimneys and Fireplaces: Clean and check them for safe operation throughout the winter.
  6. Winterize Outdoor Faucets: Drain outdoor water lines and disconnect hoses to prevent freezing and burst pipes.
  7. Replace Weatherstripping: Make sure windows and doors are sealed properly to keep the cold out and the warmth in.
  8. Trim Trees and Shrubs: Prune branches to prevent potential damage from snow and ice buildup.
  9. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Ensure they are working properly to keep your home safe with increased indoor heating.
  10. Store Outdoor Furniture: Clean and cover or bring furniture indoors to protect it from harsh winter conditions.

By completing these tasks, you’ll protect your home from Michigan’s harsh winter weather, save on energy costs, and stay warm and comfortable all season long.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
