It’s official! Fall is here.
At Ark Construction, we love helping families make the most of their homes all year round. Of course, there are several special home improvement projects that we always think about when fall rolls around. Some are great for adding enjoyment, functionality and property value, while others are important home maintenance needs to take care of beore winter winds its way into our lives. Here is our list of the
Top 10 Fall Home Improvement Projects for you to consider this season.
Venturing into winter with a vulnerable roof is dangerous. After all, your home is only as sound as the roof protecting it. Now that fall is here, it’s time to take advantage of super weather and get your roof the tlc it needs to get back into tip-top shape.
You may remember feeling a chill or draft near certain windows in your home. What about condensation or frost on these windows? Having your windows upgraded to more efficient models incorporating glass with multiple panes, spacers or filler gasses (such as argon or krypton) will help keep your house cozy and cut down on high energy costs.
Speaking of drafts, have you noticed a draft sneaking into your house even after the door is firmly closed? You have two options. The first is to fit your doors with fresh new weatherstripping and bottom seals. The second option is to have them replaced with new, energy efficient models. Whatever you do, don’t go another cold weather season unnecessarily dealing with drafty doors.
The great outdoors is about to become a greatly limited option for entertaining and playtime for the kids. Why not convert your basement into a finished room the whole family can enjoy for the rest of your lives? In terms of increased functionality, enjoyment, and property value, there are few home improvement investments that match the tremendous payoff of a finished basement.
The cold weather months can become pretty bleak as the amount of daylight we experience each day diminishes. Adding skylights to your home will allow as much light as possible into your home, helping you beat the wintertime blues, with the added benefit of cutting down on high energy costs!
What happens when fall and winter rain, snow and ice come around? A big, melting, muddy mess, that’s what happens! Creating a mud room is a great way to keep wintry puddles manageably confined. It’s also a great way to keep the peace when the kids (and perhaps the husband) come racing through the door. Having a clearly defined space for shoes, boots and outerwear helps keep stress and mess to a minimum.
Fall kicks off the big three in holiday entertaining, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Want to make preparing and enjoying the holiday season almost effortless? Maybe it’s time for a kitchen remodel. Your guests will love it! As for you? Well, we suspect you deserve it.
An unattended gutter problem can cause serious problems for your foundation when winter’s wetness in the forms of ice and snow hit. Take action now, as minor investments in professional gutter repair and replacement can help you avoid major expenses just around the bend.
Leaves, cracks, wear and tear create clogging issues in everyone’s gutters. Now that fall is here, we can expect the trees to start raining down those leaves; many directly into those gutters. Why not take preemptive measures this fall and have gutter covers installed? Won’t it be nice to no longer be a slave to your gutters?
