Fall is an ideal time to focus on exterior home maintenance before leaves, rain, wind, and colder weather create additional wear around your property. Paying attention to gutters, roofing, seals, and exterior hardware now can help reduce the chance of water damage and more complicated repairs later.
Keep Gutters Clear and Draining Properly
Leaves and debris can quickly collect in gutters, limiting water flow and increasing the chance of overflow around rooflines and foundations.
The Gutter Getter Gutter Cleaning Kit includes a scoop, debris rake, and extension handle designed to help remove buildup while reducing the number of ladder moves required during cleaning.

Check Gutter Seams for Leaks
Cleaning gutters is only part of seasonal gutter maintenance. Seams, joints, corners, and connections can gradually develop gaps that allow water to escape where it should not.
GE Advanced Specialty Silicone 2 Gutter Sealant is designed for metal and vinyl gutters and provides a waterproof, flexible seal for exterior applications.

Inspect the Roof Before Colder Weather
Fall is also a good opportunity to look for visible signs of roof wear, including damaged flashing, deteriorated seals, loose materials, or areas where moisture may be entering.
Roof sealants can be useful for compatible maintenance and repair applications. Titebond WeatherMaster Roof Sealant is one option available through MRO Supreme for exterior roof-sealing projects.

Larger or potentially unsafe roof repairs should be evaluated by a qualified roofing professional rather than treated as a DIY project.
Pay Attention to Exterior Hardware
Exterior maintenance extends beyond the roof itself. Gutter brackets, hooks, fasteners, door hardware, and other exposed components can loosen or deteriorate after months of sun, rain, and changing temperatures.
MRO Supreme's Hardware department includes gutter hardware, exterior hooks, brackets, fasteners, door and window products, and other supplies for seasonal repairs.
