What should you do before year‑end to keep your home in top shape for the new year?
A quick maintenance check now ensures safety, avoids surprises, and keeps your home’s value intact.

Key items to tackle:

  • Change HVAC filters, test all detectors, and schedule a furnace/AC check.
  • Clear gutters, inspect roof for damage, and check exterior for leaks or cracks.
  • Test sump pumps, clean dryer vents, and inspect plumbing for leaks.
  • Review and adjust your home budget, account for taxes, insurance, and winter‑related costs.

Final takeaway:
Spending a few hours now on maintenance helps you avoid expensive repairs later and keeps your home operating smoothly
