Getting Your Comox Valley Home Ready for Fall

Fall in the Comox Valley brings beautiful colours, cooler mornings and a good reason to give your home a little extra care before the wet weather settles in.

Whether you’re staying put or thinking about selling, start with a few manageable tasks:

Check gutters and drainage. Clear fallen leaves and debris, and check that downspouts carry water away from your home. If accessing your gutters is difficult, hire someone with the right equipment.

Keep the warmth in. Check for drafts around doors and windows. Replacing worn weatherstripping is a simple way to improve comfort and reduce heat loss.

Give your heating system some attention. Check filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions and arrange servicing if it’s due.

Make your entrance welcoming. Clear slippery leaves from paths, check outdoor lighting and provide a place for wet boots. These small details make everyday arrivals—and visits from potential buyers—more comfortable.

If a move is on your mind, fall is also a good time to make a list of repairs and gather your maintenance records. You don’t need to tackle everything at once. A clear plan can help you decide what deserves attention first.
