šŸ“… Just like your favorite football team prepares for every game, your home needs to be game-day ready for winter. Hereā€™s your seasonal maintenance playbook to tackle the rainy and chilly weather of the PNW like a pro!

Exterior Defense: Protect Your Homeā€™s End Zone

1ļøāƒ£ Clean Your Gutters:

  • Keep your gutters clear so water flows freelyā€”no fumbles when heavy rain hits.

2ļøāƒ£ Inspect Your Roof:

  • A solid roof is like a strong offensive lineā€”keeping your home protected from all angles.

3ļøāƒ£ Trim Overhanging Branches:

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

4ļøāƒ£ Check Exterior Paint and Siding:

  • Seal cracks to block winterā€™s blitz from sneaking in.

Interior Offense: Score Big on Comfort

5ļøāƒ£ Service Your Furnace or Heat Pump:

  • Make sure itā€™s ready to perform in the fourth quarter of the year.

6ļøāƒ£ Seal Drafts:

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

7ļøāƒ£ Check Your Chimney:

  • A clean and safe chimney is your homeā€™s special teams player during cold nights.

8ļøāƒ£ Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors:

  • Play smart and avoid unnecessary turnoversā€”safety is the MVP of your home team.

Yard and Garden Special Teams

9ļøāƒ£ Drain and Store Garden Hoses:

  • Donā€™t let freezing temps sideline your hoses and faucets.

šŸ”Ÿ Winterize Your Lawn:

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

šŸŒ§ļø Stay Ahead of the Rain: Tackling these tasks now can save you from costly "penalties" later.
