Summer has officially ended, and it’s time to start getting your house ready for winter. Connecticut residents are familiar with heavy snowfalls and freezing rain, which can both wreak havoc on your property. The winter also brings with it several big holiday celebrations and family gatherings, so, if you’re planning on hosting one, early fall is a great time to complete a few home remodeling projects you’ve been meaning to tackle for a while.

Here are a few projects to consider completing before Thanksgiving:

3 Fall Home Remodeling Projects

1. Replace or Update Your Windows

If your windows need replacement, fall is a great time to do it. Replacing old, drafty glass before the weather gets too cold will reduce your utility costs all season long. If you want to make your home more efficient without replacing the windows because they’re fairly new, you can also seal gaps, install new siding, or add more insulation where it’s needed.

2. Upgrade Your Kitchen

Hosting the holidays can be stressful, but, if you tackle a few kitchen remodeling projects that have been on your to-do list for a while, you will look forward to cooking that 18-pound turkey and those 15 side dishes. Even minor projects like updating the hardware on your cabinetry will make a big difference, but, if it’s in your budget, consider replacing the countertops and appliances, too.

3. Repaint Your Home’s Exterior

Painting is one of the simplest home remodeling projects to take on, but it can produce dramatic results. The fall is a great time to paint because the cooler temperatures and reduced humidity promote a better application and more even drying overall.
