Before holiday plans fill the calendar, take a walk around your property, catch up on routine upkeep, and make a list of anything that needs professional attention. To help you get started, I’ve created a **free Florida Fall Home Maintenance Kit** with three printable resources: - **Fall Home Maintenance Checklist** for interior and exterior tasks. - **Home Maintenance Tracker** to organize repairs, service dates, and information about your home. - **Hurricane Supply and Expiration Tracker** to keep your supplies organized. [**Download your free three-page maintenance kit here.**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/17XiAp5Mt-F0kWFD-qsoGxwP6DV_UjoSD/view?usp=sharing) ## Start Inside: Small Checks That Are Easy to Overlook You don’t have to tackle the entire house in one weekend. Start with a few manageable tasks and work through the checklist at your own pace. **Give your AC some attention.** Check your HVAC filter and replace it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and your household’s needs. Include the condensate drain line in your maintenance routine, following your system’s instructions or having an HVAC professional handle it. **Look for visible signs of leaks.** Open the cabinets under your sinks and check around toilets. Look for moisture, staining, or changes you haven’t noticed before. Take a look around your water heater, too, and arrange professional service if something seems wrong. **Check the details in bathrooms.** Look at the caulking around tubs and showers for gaps or deterioration that may need attention. **Add the easy-to-forget items.** Put dryer-vent cleaning and testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on your list. Follow the equipment instructions and bring in a professional when needed. This is also a good opportunity to deep-clean rugs and upholstery before holiday guests arrive. ## Walk Around Your Home’s Exterior Take a slow walk around your house and make notes as you go. You’re looking for visible changes and maintenance needs. Your outdoor checklist includes: - Checking window and porch screens for damage. - Looking for gaps or deterioration in exterior caulking. - Trimming plants growing against the house. - Reviewing your irrigation schedule for seasonal needs and applicable watering rules. - Cleaning slippery walkways using a method appropriate for the surface. - Arranging roof and gutter inspection or maintenance when needed. Keep your own roof observations at ground level and leave climbing and roof work to qualified professionals. A few photos can help you explain a concern when requesting service—and give you a useful record to compare with later. ## Put Your Home’s Maintenance History in One Place When was your last HVAC service? How old is the water heater? Which company handled that repair? Those details are much easier to find when you keep them together. The **Home Maintenance Tracker** includes space for your home’s basic information, a repair log, and recurring maintenance tasks. Record the date, work completed, company used, cost, and next service date. Keep related receipts, warranties, and service reports in a folder alongside it. Start with what you know. You can add missing details as you locate records or schedule future appointments. ## Review Your Hurricane Supplies Your fall routine is also a useful time to take inventory of the supplies you already have. The **Hurricane Supply and Expiration Tracker** gives you space to record quantities, expiration dates, and when items were last tested or charged. It covers food and water, health and safety supplies, power and communication equipment, and preparations to review before a storm. Use it to identify items that need replacing and make a shopping list. Include your household’s particular needs, such as baby supplies and pet food. Keep the tracker with your household emergency plan so you can find both when you need them. ## Thinking About Selling Within the Next Year? You can start preparing long before you choose a listing date. Routine upkeep and organized records give you a clearer picture of your home’s condition. They also make it easier to discuss completed work, service history, and projects that still need attention when you prepare to sell. Before spending money on bigger improvements, let’s talk about your plans. We can walk through your home, discuss your timeline, and identify which projects deserve attention before it goes on the market. ## Download Your Free Florida Fall Home Maintenance Kit Pick a few tasks to start this weekend, record what you complete, and keep the kit handy throughout the year.
