The Most Rewarding Fall Home Improvement Projects
Posted on October 11, 2019
Spring gets most of the glory when it comes to home improvement projects, but as fall sets in, you can set yourself up for a more enjoyable winter with a few simple projects. Here are the most rewarding fall home improvement projects.
Get your house set up for success by completing the last minute outdoor and indoor projects. Your home will be the envy of the block and visiting friends and family alike. Some small projects can make a big impact with little effort.
Front Door
As the first impression, a change to your front door can have an astounding difference in look. Add a dramatic color to your front door and set the tone for the dinners and parties you’ll host this fall and winter. As a smaller project, this takes simply a couple gallons of paint and an afternoon.
Decks
A deck will last a long time, with proper attention and care. Be sure the winter is no match for the wood by putting a new layer of protection in the form of paint or sealing. This helps give the wood a film between it and the snow that is to come.
Paint
Painting the exterior of the house before winter starts provides protection for the walls and your investment. Keeping moisture out of the stucco, wood, or brick is important for their wellbeing. If water gets in over the winter, in can cause an immeasurable amount of damage before the ice thaws. Paint provides one more level of comfort knowing that the water cannot penetrate.
Clean
Power washing the exterior of your home will remove the dirt and grime for the season. You are sure to accumulate some mess from ice and salt, but starting with a clean slate will make cleaning up next spring that much easier.
Windows
Windows allow the fresh breezes in from summer air, but during the winter can be a source of chills and drafts. Go around your windows and doors to make sure there are no cracks that need to be repaired before the temperature drops. Use caulk to fill cracks and issues in the wooden frames and make sure you stay warm this winter.
