Winterize your home like a winner! 🏡

📅 Just like your favorite football team prepares for every game, your home needs to be game-day ready for winter. Here’s your seasonal maintenance playbook to tackle the rainy and chilly weather of the PNW like a pro!

Exterior Defense: Protect Your Home’s End Zone

1️⃣ Clean Your Gutters:

• Keep your gutters clear so water flows freely—no fumbles when heavy rain hits.

2️⃣ Inspect Your Roof:

• A solid roof is like a strong offensive line—keeping your home protected from all angles.

3️⃣ Trim Overhanging Branches:

• Don't let overgrown branches "sack" your home during storms.

4️⃣ Check Exterior Paint and Siding:

• Seal cracks to block winter’s blitz from sneaking in.

Interior Offense: Score Big on Comfort

5️⃣ Service Your Furnace or Heat Pump:

• Make sure it’s ready to perform in the fourth quarter of the year.

6️⃣ Seal Drafts:

• Your home should be as airtight as Lumen Field is loud!

7️⃣ Check Your Chimney:

• A clean and safe chimney is your home’s special teams player during cold nights.

8️⃣ Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors:

• Play smart and avoid unnecessary turnovers—safety is the MVP of your home team.

Yard and Garden Special Teams

9️⃣ Drain and Store Garden Hoses:

• Don’t let freezing temps sideline your hoses and faucets.

🔟 Winterize Your Lawn:

• Aerate, fertilize, and get your lawn ready to "kick off" the next season.

🌧️ Stay Ahead of the Rain: Tackling these tasks now can save you from costly "penalties" later.
