The
winter months are quickly approaching, and I'm hoping that you'll have a warm,
cozy season in your beautiful new home!
In fact, I'm including with this letter some quick tips for making sure
that you and your new home are ready for the winter months ahead!
I hope that you find these tips to be
helpful and useful.
FIVE QUICK TIPS TO GET YOUR HOME
READY FOR WINTER
Roof repairs: If you can safely
get onto your roof to inspect for missing shingles or other factors that may
lead to a leaky roof, now's the time to do it!
If not, call in a professional organization and have them take care of
the rooftop work for you.
Seal it off: Inspect doors and
windows to ensure that the weather-stripping is in good condition. This will keep your house warmer and cozier
in the winter months.
Hot stuff: Make sure that your
heater and ventilation systems are in good working order! Clean out accessible ducts and replace
filters where necessary.
Chimney sweep: Creosote, a black
substance that builds up in the chimney when wood is burned, can cause chimney
fires. Inspect your chimney for
creosote and call a chimney sweep to keep your fireplace safe and functional.
Gutter check: Now's the time to clean out those
rain gutters again! If you want to do
it yourself, make sure that you can safely access the gutters and then scoop
out any debris, blast the drains clean with a high-powered hose, and repair any
leaks you may find along the way.
