Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some home maintenance tips for fall?(9)



Michael Petruccelli says;  Clean and lubricate garage door hinges, rollers, and tracks and be sure screws are tight. 

Inspect exterior walls and window sills. Check walls and window sills for damage such as cracks, gaps, loose or crumbling mortar, along with splitting and decaying wood. Wood trim and siding can suffer from deterioration or loose paint. Caulk exterior joints around windows and doors, which helps keep the home weather tight and helps to lower heating bills.
