Fall Exterior Maintenance Checklist for San Diego Homes

San Diego fall is the perfect time to look after the outside of your home before winter rain and holiday visitors arrive. A few simple checks now save bigger headaches later.

Roof, Gutters and Drainage

Clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts, and make sure water flows away from your foundation. Even in a mild climate, the first rains of the season can expose clogs and leaks.

Walkways, Lighting and Landscaping

Trim back shrubs that crowd the path to your door, replace burned-out bulbs and check that walkway lights work. Shorter days mean guests arrive after dark more often.

Check Your Address Visibility

Stand on the street and look at your house number and curb address. If the curb number is faded, chipped or covered in grime, fall is a good time to refresh it before holiday guests, deliveries and rideshares start arriving.

Make It a Seasonal Habit

Put these checks on your calendar each October. A quick walk around the property keeps small issues small.
