Taylor Swift said “August sipped away like a bottle of wine” and that couldn’t be more true!

The good news is, we’re welcoming September and it feels like the fresh start we all needed! I can already feel the chill in the air and smell the pumpkin spice lattes!

So let’s kick off the first month of Fall with your September Homeowner Checklist:

• Clean the gutters
• Give Summer lawn tools a good tune up
• Change the oil in the lawn mower
• Service your HVAC system
• Inspect fire extinguisher
• Sweep the garage and wipe dirt from garage door tracks
