Home improvement projects are the key to increasing home value and creating a space you love. Sweltering summer heat creates harsh work conditions, which is why many homeowners delay their plans for autumn. These seasonal upgrades and repairs will pay off quickly as fall settles in. The following are a few popular projects to consider.

Home Renovations to Schedule for Fall

1. Deck Repairs

Decks are ideal for enjoying the crisp fall weather with your family. Schedule deck repairs—or even an installation—at the beginning of the season. It can be a simple pressure washing and sealing to preserve the wood or tightening loose fixtures between the house and decking.

Summer heat and moisture may have caused the wood to warp or even rot, so schedule a comprehensive inspection at the very least. Deck repair professionals can remove and replace damaged wood to keep your deck sturdy and looking great.

2. Roof & Gutter Repairs

Sealed, reliable roofing is a must come winter, so schedule repairs now. A roofing contractor will replace shingles or flashing to prevent leaks. Sealing perforations keeps warm air from leaking out during winter. This keeps your home more comfortable and reduces energy waste.

Address the gutters as well. Clogged gutters collect water and freeze. This creates ice dams that grow and wear down roofing during freeze and thaw cycles. Clear gutters keep fall pests from nesting and eventually breaking through your roofing to breed in your warm attic.

3. Window Replacements

Replacing windows increases your curb appeal and home comfort. Replace older, damaged windows and frames with high-efficiency fiberglass products. These are durable, corrosion-resistant, and create a reliable barrier between your home and cold, outdoor temperatures.
