Halloween is normally full of treats, but homeowners could be at increased risk for homeowners insurance claims during this frightfully fun holiday. We have some helpful tips to keep your home safe for trick-or-treaters and guests during Halloween!
Some tips to prepare for rains, flooding, and high winds and keep your family and home safe during predicted storms.
It makes sense that, being in the business of “home sweet home,” we would appreciate the fall season. This is the time when we decorate our front stoops and porches with pumpkins, wreaths of orange and red, and a few dried corn stalks to welcome our guests. This is the time of year when we start baking hearty soups and cuddle up on the couch on a Saturday afternoon to watch our favorite college football team. Now that we’ve escaped the sweltering heat, we can now invite our friends over for a fire in our built-in outdoor living area. This is the season when we invite our entire family and maybe even some close friends to give thanks in our home while we feast on turkey and mashed potatoes. We love fall.
