Top 7 Fall Home Repairs Every Decatur Homeowner Should Schedule
A smart checklist to prevent leaks, drafts, and surprise costs.
🍁 Fall is the perfect time to prep your home for cooler temps and holiday traffic. Knock out these projects now for a safer, cozier season.
1) Roof & Gutter Check
Leaves clog gutters fast—leading to fascia rot and leaks. Book a roof/gutter inspection and clear downspouts before the next storm.
2) HVAC Maintenance
Transitioning from cool to heat strains your system. Schedule your HVAC tune-up for clean air and lower bills.
3) Seal Windows & Doors
Drafts = higher energy costs. Re-caulk frames, add weatherstripping, and check thresholds for light leaks. 🔧
4) Repair Decks, Stairs & Railings
Loose boards and wobbly rails get worse with rain. Tighten hardware and re-seal wood for safety.
5) Fix Slow Leaks
Water stains or musty smells? Hidden leaks escalate in cold weather. Our plumbing team can diagnose and repair fast.
6) Touch Up Exterior Paint & Trim
Peeling paint invites moisture. A targeted paint refresh protects your exterior and boosts curb appeal.
7) Test Safety Devices
Replace smoke/CO detector batteries and confirm each unit is functioning. It’s a 5-minute lifesaver.
