2. 1. Clean The Gutters
Clean gutters prevent foundation damage. They
also prevent water build up that works its way
into walls and ceilings.

3. 2. Rake Leaves
A mulching lawn mower will allow you to rid
your lawn of pesky leaves and recycle the
nutrients.

4. 3. Get Creative with Leaves
Crisp Fall leaves make great craft tools for kids.
You can create wreaths, garland & more.

5. 4. Plant Bulbs for Blooms in Spring
Choose a variety of early, mid and late season
bulbs for a long season of color. Come spring,
you'll be glad you planted bulbs!

6. 5. Seal Drafty Windows
Insulate drafty windows and doors before the
cold weather starts affecting your heating bill.

7. 6. Cut Costs
Programmable thermostats can help regulate
indoor temps and help you save on your heating
bill.

8. 7. Reverse Your Ceiling Fans
Reversing your ceiling fans will produce an
updraft and push down into the room heated air
from the ceiling (remember, hot air rises).

9. 8. Repair Leaky Faucets
Repair leaky faucets before weather gets colder
& pipes are more prone to freezing.

10. 9. Prepare Your Fireplace
Chimney flues should be inspected once a year.
Fall is the perfect time to ensure your fireplace is
ready for cool weather.

11. 10. Let MaidPro do the chores
