Your November Home Checklist
As November arrives in North Central Florida, the season shifts toward cooler days, festive gatherings, and time spent with family and friends. Before the holiday season gets into full swing, it’s a good idea to tackle a few home projects so your house is ready to welcome guests and create lasting memories.
Invest in Comfort
Keep your home efficient and comfortable as the holidays approach.
- Replace HVAC filters and schedule a quick service check before guests arrive.
- Inspect and refresh weather stripping to prevent air leaks and keep indoor spaces comfortable.
- Reverse your ceiling fans to circulate air properly, keeping rooms balanced as temperatures fluctuate.
Outdoor To-Dos
A little yard work now ensures your outdoor spaces look their best for seasonal gatherings.
- Clear gutters and downspouts to keep water moving during fall rains.
- Trim back tree limbs that could pose risks in storms.
- Refresh mulch in beds for neat curb appeal and plant protection.
- Add seasonal flowers or greenery to give your entryway a welcoming touch.
Safe and Snug
With more time spent indoors and around the table, safety and comfort should be top of mind.
- Test smoke detectors before holiday cooking begins.
- Check outdoor lighting so walkways are safe for evening guests.
- If you have a fireplace, schedule an inspection before using it.
- Add cozy details indoors with fresh linens, warm lighting, and seasonal decor to create a festive atmosphere.
