South Puget Sound Fall Maintenance Checklist & Our Favorite Local Vendors

September 2, 2025

Taking the time to clean, maintain, and update a few simple things around your home this fall can save you a ton of money and stress when cooler weather comes along! Here in the South Puget Sound, we can always expect plenty of rain, and maybe even some ice and snow. A little bit of prep now can keep your home safe, cozy, and efficient all season.

Here is your fall maintenance checklist for homes in the South Puget Sound area:

Gutters & Downspouts:
Clear leaves and debris to prevent clogs.

Roof & Chimney:
Inspect for loose shingles or cracks before winter storms.

Heating System:
Schedule a furnace tune-up and replace filters.

Windows & Doors:
Seal gaps and add weatherstripping to keep heat in.

Outdoor Faucets & Hoses:
Drain, disconnect, and cover to avoid freezing.

Yard & Trees:
Rake leaves, trim back branches, and protect plants.

Safety Check:
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

When you need to call in the experts, we’re happy to share just a few of our favorite local vendors. Many of these vendors also sponsored our golf tournament fundraiser!
