At any time of year, you likely have some kind of home improvement to-do list. During each quarter there are a few tasks you should complete to keep the home in top shape and prepare for the upcoming season. Here are a few items to handle during the fall to get the house ready for winter.

3 Fall Home Improvement Projects

1. Replacing Doors & Windows

With cold weather coming, it’s essential to prepare for lower temperatures. Along with getting the HVAC system inspected, you should consider other ways to prevent drafts and improve heat efficiency. By replacing old or damaged doors and windows, you can create better seals to keep hot air in and cold air out. Plus, this move will increase home security, keeping your family and belongings safe.

2. Finishing the Basement

A lot of families spend more time inside during the winter. Increase the square footage of livable space in the home by finishing the basement during autumn. By adding appropriate plumbing, heating, flooring, and wall coverings, you can create an awesome entertainment center or playroom for kids right inside the house. 

3. Adding on Gutter Covers

What better way to minimize seasonal maintenance than to install gutter covers? You’ll never have to check “clean gutters” off the home improvement list again thanks to these handy devices. They’re easy to install over existing drainage systems and reduce the chances of leaf buildups that cause clogs and contribute to moisture damage in the home.
