Late summer is the ideal time to prepare your home for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. In Park City, where snow can arrive as early as October, homeowners who stay ahead of maintenance avoid costly repairs and keep their properties in peak condition.
Here’s your checklist to close out summer strong.
1. Roof & Gutters
Inspect your roof for loose shingles and clear your gutters of leaves and debris. Snow buildup is heavy in Park City, and clean gutters help prevent ice dams that can cause major damage.
2. HVAC & Furnace Filters
Schedule a professional HVAC check-up and replace filters. A well-maintained system improves efficiency and ensures your home is warm when temperatures drop.
3. Landscaping & Irrigation
Trim back overgrown trees or shrubs, especially those close to your roofline. Drain and winterize irrigation systems to prevent frozen pipes later in the year.
4. Windows & Doors
Check for drafts around windows and doors. Sealing gaps now saves money on heating bills later and makes your home more comfortable through the winter.
5. Fireplaces & Chimneys
Have chimneys swept and inspected. Whether wood-burning or gas, this step ensures safety and efficiency during heavy winter use.
Final Take
Homeownership in the mountains comes with unique responsibilities. A proactive checklist ensures your property is protected year-round—and buyers notice when a home has been well cared for.
