Welcome Fall
Now the kids are back in school and the weather is cooling down, we’re starting to see the early signs of Fall approaching.
It would be hard to argue that Fall in Massachusetts is the most beautiful time of year! It’s also the best time to start your winter home preparations.
Having a Fall home maintenance plan is a good habit to get in to. The more regularly you maintain your home, the earlier you will catch problems and the longer your home will last. Here are a few tips:
Check Your Attic Insulation
Is your insulation installed properly? The vapor barrier on insulation should face down toward the living space. If it is installed with the vapor barrier facing up the insulation will trap moisture causing possible water problems. Proper insulation can improve the comfort level and energy efficiency of your home.

Weatherstrip Your Garage Door
Make sure the seal between the bottom of your garage door and ground is tight. Install a new one if necessary to keep out small animals. Those little critters are starting to look for a home for the winter and your garage is the number one access point to your house.
Cover Air Conditioners
It may seem obvious, but covering your air conditioner will extend the life of your unit. First, vacuum out the interior parts of the air conditioner. Next, cover with an approved short tarp or a simple piece of plywood across the top.
Check Your Siding
Fall’s cooler temperatures and low humidity make it an ideal season to re-side your home. Get the latest innovation in triple-composite siding, the most advanced siding materials in the industry. Learn more about our: Siding Range
