Fall is known for crisp leaves, chilly air and the holidays that take place in succession. When the temperature drops for the first time, many people pull out their boots and scarves and won’t look back until the following spring. While you may be preoccupied betting yourself ready, you should consider taking the time to make sure your house is prepared for the colder weather, too.

Your house shelters you, so it makes sense that you should care for it in return. Before the weather grows too cold, you can patch up the areas that may be failing and ensure your family has an easy winter ahead of them.
