Fall is one of the best times of the year to complete your home remodeling projects. With mild weather conditions and consistent temperatures, scheduling your renovations during the fall is not only beneficial to your contractors, but also to the longevity of the project itself. If you’re looking to spruce up your home, here are a few renovation ideas to consider doing this fall:
Exterior and Interior Painting
Weather plays a huge role in the finished result of both exterior and interior paint. The ideal conditions for painting are low humidity levels, mild temperatures, and low probability of rain. If too much moisture is introduced to the fresh paint, it can peel, blister, and dry improperly. As for humidity, you’ll want the levels to remain in the 40% to 70% range, which is pretty consistent with fall weather.
Weather Stripping
Weather stripping is a great way to prepare your home for the upcoming winter. To weather strip your home, you’ll need to pick the type of weather stripping that will best suit your needs depending on the project’s size and where it will be placed. Weather stripping is an effective way to seal off any gaps in your windows or doors to prevent drafts during the colder months ahead, and installing it is a quick and easy process.
Window Upgrades
Although windows can be installed at any time of the year, the fall is ideal because it can ensure more comfortable conditions for when the weather gets colder. If you notice any drafts or that warm or cool air seems to escape quickly, it’s probably time to invest in some new windows. The newer windows also have impressive energy-efficient qualities that can save you a lot of money on heating and cooling in the future, so it’s worth the investment!
Roofing Repair or Replacement
Winter weather is notoriously hard on roofs. It’s best to complete your home’s roof repair or replacement before the damper, colder weather comes. Plus, too cold temperatures can make it difficult for roofing materials to adhere as they should, which could cause issues in the future.
Gutter Cleaning
While the changing leaves look beautiful, they can also wreak havoc on your gutters. Leaves, branches, and other debris can block water from flowing off your roof and onto the ground. As a result, standing water can cause rot and interior leaks.
