September Home Prep in the South Okanagan: 5 Services to Book Now

As September brings milder days, cooler nights and the first hints of autumn rain to the South Okanagan, now’s the perfect time to tackle key maintenance before winter arrives.

At Brandon Gordon Contracting, we help BC homeowners protect and enhance their investment with kind, authentic expertise. Here are five services you should schedule this month:

1. Gutter Cleaning & Leaf-Guard Installation

Why in September?

Late-summer dust and falling leaves from riverside poplars can quickly clog gutters. Unchecked blockages lead to water overflow against siding and foundations when the first rains hit in October.

What We Do:

• Clear debris from eavestroughs and downspouts

• Inspect for damage or loose hangers

• Install seamless leaf guards to reduce future cleanings

2. Deck Inspection & Sealing

Why in September?

Summer’s high UV and temperature swings can dry and crack deck boards. Sealing now locks in moisture protection before cooler, wetter weather sets in, preventing wood rot and warping.

What We Do:

• Assess board integrity, fasteners and railings

• Replace any split or cupped boards

• Apply premium, UV-resistant sealant ideal for Okanagan conditions

3. Exterior Paint & Siding Touch-Ups

Why in September?Paint and stain bond best when daytime highs are between 10–25 °C—common in Okanagan September. Touching up now seals gaps and prevents moisture intrusion over winter.

What We Do:

• Repair cracked or peeling paint on trim, fascia and siding

• Re-stain wood accents, pergolas or fences

• Use Canadian-made, UV-resistant coatings formulated for BC climates

4. Roof & Attic Health Check

Why in September?

With leaf fall starting and storms on the horizon, inspect for loose shingles, flashing issues and attic ventilation. Early fixes prevent winter leaks and ice dam formation.

What We Do:

• Ground-level roof scan for damaged or missing shingles

• Check flashing and vents around chimneys, skylights and vents

• Evaluate attic insulation and ventilation to reduce heat loss

5. Power Wash & Masonry Inspection

Why in September?

Summer pollen, grape harvest dust and irrigation mineral build-up can stain patios, walkways and stucco. Power washing restores curb appeal, while inspecting masonry now spots cracks before freeze-thaw cycles worsen them.

What We Do:

• Gentle, high-efficiency pressure wash on decks, driveways and home exterior

• Seal minor masonry cracks in stone veneer, brick or stucco

• Apply breathable sealants to protect against moisture penetration
