As summer begins its slow shift toward fall, September offers the perfect window to tackle a few outdoor tasks that will keep your home comfortable, safe, and ready for the changing season. From maximizing those last warm breezes to making sure your space is prepared for shorter days and cooler nights, these quick maintenance projects will help you wrap up summer on a high note.
Clean and Repair Window Screens: Wash screens to improve airflow while summer breezes last, and patch any holes to keep out pests.
Check Exterior Lighting: Make sure all outdoor lights work properly and replace burnt-out bulbs before shorter days arrive.
Trim Trees Away from Roof and Power Lines: Prevent potential storm damage by cutting back branches that could scrape your roof or tangle with lines.
Deep Clean Outdoor Grill: Remove grease buildup and check for wear so it’s safe and ready for end-of-summer barbecues.
