Greetings! ced
 
Fall is the perfect time to start some new small home improvement projects around the house in order to get your home ready for the upcoming winter holidays when you'll be too busy to dedicate much time to fixing up your house.  Fall typically means a slow down in home improvements. What this means to the homeowner is that we will be more readily available. As the owner of Brookside Contracting, homeowners always ask me what the best fall home improvement projects are.  The top ten fall home improvement projects are the typical projects that homeowners should consider before winter. Winter has a way of sneaking up on us, but if you start thinking of those home improvement projects now you can enjoy a warmer, more beautiful home that is more energy efficient and safe.  In this issue I have listed the top ten projects you should be considering this fall.
The Top Ten Fall Home Improvement Projects:

1. Windows and Door Replacement. Window and door replacement top the list for fall home improvements. The low cost project can be as simple as replacing caulking and seals to reduce heating costs.
2. Insulation. Home owners should consult with us to discuss the current level of insulation in their home. Most older homes are not insulated enough.
3. Gutter Replacement. Gutters that are not working properly can cause interior damage. To prevent costly repairs later, replace those older gutters.
4. Inspect Furnace, Fireplaces, and Clean the Chimney. A furnace inspection provides a much needed piece of mind. Make sure your inspection checks for carbon dioxide detection
5. Interior Painting Projects. As summer comes to an end and you start to spend more time indoors the new appearance, warmer, and inviting feeling of a fresh coat of paint will help to push off those dreaded winter blues.
6. Roof Repair and Replacements. Fall is the best time to have us look at the roof and determine if any trouble spots are present and could become an issue during the winter months.
7. Kitchen Renovation. A kitchen renovation can be scaled to fit any budget. A simple home improvement project that replaces the countertop in a kitchen can change the look and feel of a kitchen
8. Bathroom Remodeling. Remodeling the bathroom can be a simple re-do or an elaborate complete renovation.
9. Indoor and Outdoor Lighting. As the evenings become longer and the cold winter dreary weather approaches, a project that includes updating both indoor and outdoor lighting can provide an inviting environment.
10. Landscaping. Start preparing your landscape for spring. The fall is the best time to plant grass seed to ensure a head start on the spring growing season.
