Minnesota homes weather the ups and downs of all four seasons. Homeowners can prevent major issues by taking small steps every time the seasons change.
Instructor Manny Manzano will discuss topics like furnace tune-ups, roof maintenance, fireplace care, and leak prevention. Basements to chimneys, interiors and exteriors – this class covers the whole house! You will leave with a checklist for seasonal maintenance tasks. Topics include:
- Water: hoses, draining the pipes, lawn irrigation systems, back flow preventers
