Fall brings a long list of chores—but not all of them are DIY-friendly. The trick is knowing when to roll up your sleeves and when to call a professional.
DIY Projects (Low Cost, Low Risk):
-
Rake and bag leaves, or use them as mulch.
-
Swap out HVAC filters monthly.
-
Apply caulk/weatherstripping to drafty windows.
-
Clean out gutters if you have safe ladder access.
Hire a Pro (Safety or High Impact):
-
Roof Inspections: Professionals can spot leaks you’ll miss.
-
Tree Removal/Trimming: Avoid injury and property damage.
-
Furnace & Chimney Service: Safety musts before heavy use.
-
Major Plumbing or Insulation Work: Mistakes here are costly.
Pro Tip: Think of it as “weekend tasks vs. peace-of-mind tasks.” Time and safety are worth paying for.
