With mild temperatures and generally favorable weather conditions, fall is the perfect time of year for many home improvement projects. Whether you’re planning to sell your home in the spring or looking to enhance your space for the holidays, fall repairs and improvements ensure you’re set to do both. Here are five renovation projects to consider.

5 Fall Home Improvement Projects

1. Power-Wash the Exterior

If your home’s siding has seen better days, remove the grime by scheduling power washing. Be cautious, however, when spraying to avoid directing water under siding or shingles. Although you may feel confident tackling this chore on your own, to ensure that the job is done quickly and professionally, hire a contractor.

2. Repair or Replace Gutters

In fall, inspect your gutters for leaks and other signs of damage. If they’re pulling away from the house, for instance, reattach them. If age and condition warrant it, have a new system of gutters and downspouts installed to keep your home water-free through the winter and beyond.

3. Build or Repair the Deck

If you add a deck to your home’s exterior in the fall, you’ll be able to enjoy it before the weather turns cold. Then, as soon as spring arrives, you’ll have room to relax and entertain outdoors. On an existing deck, have any loose boards or handrails repaired. You can also rejuvenate it with cleaning, staining, and sealing.

4. Upgrade Windows

Window replacements save hundreds of dollars in energy costs. If you have old or damaged windows replaced in the fall, you’ll see savings as soon as the temperatures drop by choosing energy-efficient models.

5. Repair or Replace the Roof

Having a roof replaced in fall when the weather is clear and mild is less disruptive than spring or summer installations when rain and the oppressive heat are factors. Also, trying to stretch a failing roof system through another winter may be risky. By scheduling necessary repairs or replacements in the fall, it’ll withstand winter’s icy storms and heavy snowfall.
