Autumn is in the air here in Montgomery! While we may not get the dramatic leaf displays of New England, Alabama still experiences the shift: cooler mornings, shorter days, and yes—those falling leaves. As the summer heat fades, fall is the perfect time to take care of important home maintenance tasks before winter settles in.

Here are the top fall home maintenance tips for homeowners in Montgomery, AL to help you stay cozy and safe this season:

🍂 1. Clean Gutters & Downspouts

With leaves from oaks and maples piling up, now’s the time to clean out your gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage or foundation issues. Consider installing gutter guards to cut down on future cleanings—especially helpful during rainy Alabama winters.

🪵 2. Inspect Exterior Wood Trim

Check for signs of rot or damage on wood trim around windows, doors, decks, and railings. Alabama humidity can speed up deterioration. Seal small cracks with caulk and replace any wood that’s soft or crumbling.

🏠 3. Inspect Your Roof

Storm season in Montgomery can be tough on roofs. Look for missing, curling, or cracked shingles. Check around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes for leaks. If your roof is more than 15-20 years old or showing signs of serious wear, consider hiring a licensed roofer for a full inspection—or replacement.

🔥 4. Service Your Fireplace & Chimney

If you use a wood-burning fireplace, fall is the best time to schedule a professional cleaning and safety check. Creosote buildup can cause chimney fires, and blockages may lead to dangerous carbon monoxide leaks.

🎨 5. Refresh Exterior Paint

Autumn’s lower humidity and mild temps in Montgomery make it a great time to repaint or touch up your home’s exterior. Fresh paint helps protect against moisture and pests—and boosts curb appeal, too.

🌬️ 6. Check Your Heating System

Montgomery nights can get chilly, especially in late fall. Make sure your heating system is ready by replacing air filters and scheduling a licensed HVAC contractor to inspect your furnace or heat pump. Regular servicing ensures it runs efficiently and reduces your winter energy bills.

🪟 7. Seal Windows & Doors

Drafty windows and doors can sneak up on you. Check for leaks both inside and out. Caulk gaps and apply weather stripping to keep your home warmer and your energy bills lower.

🔋 8. Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

These devices save lives, so don’t skip this step. Replace batteries and test all detectors. If you don’t have a carbon monoxide detector, now’s the time to install one—especially if you use gas heating or a fireplace.

✅ BONUS: Schedule Help Before the Busy Season

Many local contractors get booked quickly as cooler weather sets in. If you need help with roofing, HVAC, painting, or chimney work, don’t wait—schedule now to avoid delays.

🍂 Thinking About Selling Your Home This Fall in Montgomery?

Here's Why Now Might Be the Perfect Time…

While summer often gets the spotlight for home sales, fall can be just as powerful — especially in Montgomery’s current market. With strong buyer demand still holding steady and inventory lower than usual, listing your home this fall could put you in a great position to sell before the year ends.

Here’s why fall is a smart time to sell:

✅ Serious Buyers Are Still Out There
Many buyers want to be settled before the holidays and are motivated to move quickly. That urgency can give sellers the upper hand in negotiations.

✅ Less Competition Means More Exposure for Your Home
With fewer homes hitting the market after summer, your listing has a better chance of standing out. Buyers have fewer options — and that can work in your favor.

✅ You’ll Attract a Different Pool of Buyers
Fall often brings out empty nesters, first-time buyers, and those relocating for work — groups less tied to the school calendar. Many of them are ready to move fast and are looking for a smooth, timely closing.

✅ Fall Curb Appeal is Underrated
Cooler temps, colorful leaves, and cozy seasonal décor can make your home feel especially inviting. Take advantage of the season to make a warm first impression.

So, don’t wait for spring to make your move. If you’ve been considering selling, now is the time to take action.
