We recently had the pleasure of participating in Fall Harvest Festivals for two of our local Elementary schools. Coyote Ridge and Vencel Brown both hosted festivals that we helped to sponsor. There was all kinds of events, booths, prizes, costumes, and performances.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the montage!

As winter approaches, it’s important to prepare for inclement weather. Even if you have a vacant property, you need to ensure your house is winterized.
1. Inspect the roof. Look for broken, torn, or split shingles or tiles on your roof. Address any damages and get them repaired now. Check valleys for debris, such as leaves.
2. Clean the gutters. It’s easier to clean gutters now than deal with clogged gutters later. Clogged gutters can lead to roof leaks and potential dry rot problems down the road.
3. Check the drainage. Ensure water runs off the yard properly. You don’t want water to flood your property.
4. Insulate exterior plumbing. Even in Sacramento, it gets cold enough for pipes to freeze. Of course, if you live in other areas, I encourage you to consult local experts.
5. Keep thermostat on in vacant homes. Set the thermostat to 55 degrees. Pipes can freeze and break in a vacant home over the winter. Houses could flood without anyone there.
6. Inspect the fireplace. Clean your fireplace now if you have one.
7. Check the exterior of the house. Walk around your property. Check windows, doors, and other crevices for any cracked caulking. Re-caulk if necessary.
8. Inspect the screens for holes. Ensure there aren’t any holes or slits in your screens. If so, you’ll need to address this before it gets colder.
9. Change smoke and CO detector batteries. It’s easiest to change all the smoke and CO detector batteries at once.
I hope you all have a wonderful winter! Do your rain dance and hope for rainfall this winter. Give me a call or email if you have any questions. Talk to you soon.
