Homeowners will be heading downtown to the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center this week for the 2023 Buffalo Home Show, and AAA Western and Central New York is pleased to participate. The show runs from March 3-5 and 10-12, 2023. 

The Home Show kicks off the spring remodeling season in Western New York. This is the perfect time to check on Homeowners Insurance coverage and costs. AAA experts will be on standby with information and advice on getting the best insurance quote possible. And this year, AAA has an exclusive Home Show offer – Tote for a Quote! Get a FREE tote when you get a new insurance quote.* Ask an agent for details. 

AAA Insurance reminds homeowners that winter can be tough on your home. Small repairs now can save you time and money down the road. Here’s a checklist to help you during your cleaning spree:

•    Inspect your roof. Look for damaged shingles or tiles and have them replaced.
•    Trim your trees. Prune tree limbs regularly to keep them away from your home. 
•    Clean out your gutters. Make sure gutters are secure and downspouts drain away from your foundation. If possible, extend the bottom of the downspout away from your home by at least six feet.
•    Test wood for water damage. Make sure wood attached to your home is not soft. Even vinyl- or aluminum-sided homes have wooden framing and trim. Repair or replace soft wood as needed. 
•    Check for appliance leaks. Look for signs of leakage around your washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, water heater and other appliances that use water. Consider installing water sensors to alert you if water touches them. 
•    Clean your dryer vent. Nearly 3,000 home dryer fires happen every year according to the U.S. Fire Administration, causing $35 million in property loss annually. Make sure to clean your lint trap after every use.
