As the seasons change, fall is the perfect time for homeowners in Dallas and across Texas to prepare their homes for cooler weather. A little preventive care now can save you from costly repairs down the road and ensure your home stays safe, efficient, and comfortable through the winter months.

At MaintainYourHome.net, we’ve created the ultimate Fall Maintenance Checklist to help you protect your biggest investment.


✅ Fall Home Maintenance Checklist


1. Inspect Your HVAC System

Cooler nights mean your heating system will be working soon.

  • DIY Tip: Replace air filters and clean vents to keep airflow smooth.

  • Pro Tip: Schedule a professional HVAC inspection to ensure your system is ready for the season.

👉 At Maintain Your Home, our Intensive biannual inspections include HVAC checks to maximize efficiency and lower your utility bills.


2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Falling leaves can quickly clog gutters, leading to water damage and foundation problems.

  • DIY Tip: Use gloves and a ladder to remove debris.

  • Pro Tip: Install gutter guards for long-term protection.

👉 We help homeowners stay ahead of roof leaks and water damage with preventive inspections.


3. Seal Windows and Doors

Drafty windows and doors can drive up energy bills during the colder months.

  • DIY Tip: Add weatherstripping or caulking to seal small gaps.

  • Pro Tip: Inspect for structural issues that may cause recurring drafts.

👉 Our inspections look deeper, checking for foundation shifts and hidden problems that simple DIY fixes might miss.


4. Check Roofing and Exterior

Fall storms can expose weaknesses in your roof and siding.

  • DIY Tip: Look for missing shingles, cracks, or visible wear.

  • Pro Tip: Hire a professional for a thorough roof and exterior inspection.

👉 With Maintain Your Home, we help prevent costly roof repairs or replacements by spotting early signs of damage.


5. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Safety is a year-round priority, but fall is a great reminder to check these devices.

  • DIY Tip: Test alarms monthly and replace batteries.

  • Pro Tip: Replace detectors every 10 years for maximum reliability.

👉 During our inspections, we ensure your home’s safety systems are working properly.
