Fall is here, which means it's time to give your home some extra TLC! 🍂🍁 Some of the most important things you can do to protect your home are to clean your gutters, inspect your roof, or seal cracks and gaps. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, foundation issues, or ice dams, so grab a ladder and clear that debris! 🧹 Other fall maintenance tasks include checking your heating system, winterizing outdoor faucets, and trimming back trees. A little extra effort now can save you big headaches later. #halifax #halifaxealestate or #halifaxhomes #dartmouth #dartmouthhomes #dartmouthrealestate #bedford #bedfordhomes #bedfordrealestate #sackville #sackvillehomes #sackvillerealestate #aslowas2995 #fullservicewithsavings #assist2sell #halifaxnoiseathome

As spring arrives in North Idaho, it's crucial to focus on gutter cleaning to prevent damage from harsh winters. Clean gutters are essential for preventing water damage to your home's roof, foundation, and siding, avoiding ice dams, and preserving landscaping. Spring is the optimal time for gutter cleaning, with key factors including post-winter inspection, tree pollen season, heavy rain, and preparation for summer storms. Precision Gutters and Roofing can help!

Wood stoves and fireplaces are always in high demand among home buyers and remodelers. The cozy feeling of flickering flames during the winter is simply irresistible. And contrary to some beliefs, many Florida homes do have fireplaces! However, the installation of these features can be a challenge. One of the most important things to consider is making sure the smoke has a good exit without attracting unwanted guests. Luckily, this can be easily achieved by installing a chimney cap. With the right chimney cap, you can keep your fireplace warm and cozy while keeping pests and wildlife away. It protects your fireplace from harmful combustion by allowing the by-products to escape while keeping everything else out. #pestcontrol #wildlife #florida #homeimprovement

We're anticipating a rough summer, so protect your home from wildfires by creating a defensible space around your home: Clear Vegetation: Remove dry leaves, bushes, and flammable plants within 30 feet of your home. Mow Lawns: Keep grass short and watered. Regularly mow and rake to reduce fire risk. Clean Roofs and Gutters: Remove debris from roofs and gutters—cover vents with non-combustible screens. Use Fire-Resistant Plants: Plant succulents, rock gardens, and low-growing ground covers. Create Fire Breaks: Use driveways, walkways, and patios as fire breaks—separate trees and shrubs.   Store Flammables Safely: Keep firewood and propane tanks at least 30 feet from your home. Protect your home and support firefighters during wildfires. Stay safe!

Rain barrels are a great way to reduce runoff into our lakes and rivers. They also provide a free source of water for your yard or garden! Here’s some things to consider before installing a rain barrel on your property: 💧 Location: Does your building have a downspout near where a rain barrel can sit? You may need to add a diverter on your downspout to direct water to the barrel. You can also place your barrel on a platform so that it’s a foot or two off the ground. 💧 Water reuse plan: What will you do with the rainwater that collects in the barrel? Is what you’ll be watering close enough and downhill from the bottom of the barrel? (Note: rain barrel water is not clean—do not use the water for drinking or playing.) 💧 Care and maintenance: Your rain barrel will need an overflow system like a hose for when it reaches capacity, which can be directed into a garden bed or another area away from your building. In winter, empty your rain barrel, remove the diverter and hose, and store upside down or covered. We are so grateful to have received a grant from the City of Minneapolis Green Zones to install 30 rain barrels for community members in the Northside Green Zone. Stay tuned for more updates this summer! #RainGarden #SustainableLandscaping #WaterScaping

Create a rain garden. Rain gardens use native plants and grasses to capture and absorb rainwater from rooftops and roads. These planned gardens help simplify lawn maintenance, control erosion, and reduce runoff into streams and storm water systems. #SourceWaterProtectionWeek

In the past three days, wildfires across Colusa, Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, and Yolo counties have burnt over 11,000 acres, more than the total acreage burned in the previous three years combined in these areas. Coverage for these wildfires still under 40 percent. These include the #PointFire and the #SitesFire, which has heavily affected the surrounding area. #WildfireAlert
