Pumpkins, bonfires, fall leaves, sweater weather, hot chocolate, and football – what an exciting time of year! Transitioning from swimsuits, watermelons, and sunshine to flannels, pumpkin spice, and cold wintery nights can be a challenge. Besides finding last year’s rain boots and sweatpants, your home may also need some attention. 

5 ways to prepare your home for the fall:

1. Gutters 

In Louisiana, the fall season is considerably wet and cold. Leaves begin to fall and clog the gutters. It is crucial to keep them clean for proper drainage during these upcoming rainy months. The gutters may also need to be changed. It would not be a cozy fall season with water dripping into the interior of your home. 

You might have already cleaned your gutters as hurricane preparation. There has been a lot of bad weather this hurricane season and advise doing it again. 

While you are up on the latter, make sure your shingles are in good shape too!
