Preparing Your Home for a New England Winter
The first frost is coming. Protect your investment in Newton or Brookline with this essential winter prep checklist.
The Checklist
- Clean the Gutters: Prevent ice dams by ensuring water can flow freely.
- Service the Furnace: Don't wait for the first blizzard to find out your heater is broken.
- Shut Off Outdoor Faucets: Drain your lines to prevent burst pipes.
- Seal the Gaps: Check windows and doors for drafts to save on heating bills.
Resale Value Tip
A home with a documented maintenance history always sells for more. Keep your receipts for every service call!
