PNW Fall Home Maintenance
Prepare your Portland home for heavy November rains with this essential autumn checklist. Do not let the wet weather catch you off guard.

Beware the Tree Canopy
Neighborhoods like the West Hills have heavy tree coverage. Falling leaves and Douglas Fir needles quickly overwhelm exterior drainage systems.

September: Inspect & Prep
Start your fall yard clean up early. Inspect roof shingles for damage, prune overhanging tree branches, and aerate compacted clay soil before the rain hits.

October: Clear The Gutters
The most critical PNW home maintenance task. Remove all leaves and sludge to ensure water flows freely during relentless Portland drizzle.

November: Weatherproofing
Apply treatments to stop aggressive roof moss. Disconnect exterior hoses and seal windows to block out the freezing Pacific Northwest winter.

Use The Right Tools
Never use high pressure on asphalt shingles. Protect your home with proper equipment like ladder standoffs and low-pressure soft-wash pumps.
