Fall home maintenance checklist for Minnesota
Gutters, grading, furnace and chimney tasks to do before the freeze.
Gutters, grading, furnace and chimney tasks to do before the freeze. Here is what northwest-metro homeowners should know, with practical steps you can take this season.
Why it matters in Minnesota
Our climate is hard on homes. Long winters, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads and humid summers all accelerate wear, so seasonal maintenance pays off more here than in milder regions.
What to do
Tackle the items in order of safety and water risk first. Most of these steps are inexpensive compared with the damage they prevent, and many can be done in an afternoon.
When to call a pro
If you find active leaks, electrical hazards, or structural movement, bring in a professional. A 110-point inspection is also the fastest way to get a complete, prioritized picture of a home's condition.
