 SunCrest Fall Maintenance Tips

Each year, we provide fall maintenance tips to help prepare your home for the winter season. The coming weeks provide a good opportunity (and perhaps a last opportunity) to prepare your SunCrest home before the first snow flies. Here is our list of helpful fall maintenance tips:

The yard– clean up debris that may have blown in and become stuck in bushes, trees, and window wells. Rake up dead grass and leaves.

Rain gutters– clean out rain gutters and flush with water. Check for any leaks and repair as necessary. With our higher elevation and colder temperatures in SunCrest, clogged rain gutters could cause ice dams.

Roof- check the roof for damaged, missing, or curled shingles. Inspect the flashing and vents. If water penetrates the surface, it can freeze and lead to further damage.

Exterior water– to prevent exterior pipes from freezing, turn off the valves and run the remaining water until pipes are empty. You may also consider using an air compressor to “blow out” the sprinkler system. [NOTE: This may also reduce sprinkler frustration in the spring!]

Inspect the concrete– take steps now to repair damaged driveways, sidewalks or steps. Preventing water from expanding and contracting could help prolong the concretes life.

Exterior windows/doors– check for any peeling paint and re-paint exterior doors and doorframes to help prevent future damage.

Caulk windows & install weather stripping– seal gaps and cracks around windows and doors with caulk and install weather stripping.

Winterize lawn mower and prepare snow blower- clean the lawnmower and add winterizing additives to prepare it for hibernation. Start the snow blower to make sure it works before the first big storm.

Fire it up- run the fireplace and furnace to ensure it’s working properly. You may also consider having a professional inspect the systems.

Our Take:

When selling your SunCrest home, most SunCrest buyers will hire a professional home inspector who is working to protect the buyer’s investment. Taking a weekend or two (or hiring it out) now, will help prolong the life of your home and help with the selling process in the future.

2019 E. Tall Woods Court | Dressed to the 9’s

Fall is one of our favorite times of the year. The leaves are changing, sweater weather is in full swing, and pumpkin flavors are everywhere and in everything.

We just listed this home and think it pairs perfectly with the SunCrest Lifestyle. After all, fall is a phenomenal time to show off the mountain views.

It’s nuzzled up nicely against Gambel Oak on a .43-acre lot. There’s a walkout basement, waterfall, Trex deck, zen path, stamped concrete patio, and flat yard that will leaf you wanting to spend more time outdoors (see what we did there?).

Exploring around inside, you’ll find it’s dressed to the 9’s. Pull out your highlighters and take special note of the massive windows at every turn, for those coveted Salt Lake County views. And the views from deck? So jealous!

Dark, wide-plank-hand-scraped-hickory-hardwoods (sigh!) span the entire main floor. The kitchen has thick, rock pitched granite tops, Electrolux fridge, 5-burner gas cooktop with a handy pot filler, wine and bevvie cooler, and a formal dining room. Home for the holidays anyone?

The master retreat is both classy and cool, and features a walk out to the deck. The other bedrooms also have adjoining bathrooms and large closets.

It’s true main floor living with a formal living room, dining room, laundry, and if you’re working from home, fist pump the air right now–you’ve got two office choices and both are the best seats in town.

The downstairs is definitely not some spooky dungeon. The large windows create “second story” views from the large family room and bedrooms. There’s even room for ping-pong, pool, foosball and a second kitchen off of the downstairs family room.

Relax. With the dipping temps outside, we won’t tell if you want to make up a warm drink and watch “Game of Thrones” for hours. This place has a 108” screen, Sony equipment, and stadium seating. When you’re ready to work off popcorn and soda, walk over (or roll–it’s up to you) to the in-home exercise room.

We’re trying really hard not to use the ol’ “Fall In Love With This House” pun, but c’mon… what’s not to love about it, in any season?

Give us a call or reach us here and we’ll take you through it firsthand. The pumpkin spice latte is on us.
