With school back in session and the weather getting cooler, many homeowners are looking toward home improvement projects they can get done before the winter hits. You may feel overwhelmed about where to begin. There are many renovation projects that are perfect for fall, and today we’ll talk about a few of them.
The first step is to partner with a Boston contractor you can trust to get your fall renovation project done in a timely manner. There are several benefits to home improvement projects, from a boost in property value to an increase in comfort. Here are some popular updates for fall.
Fix the Roof
Your roof takes a lot of abuse, as it’s the first line of defense for your family and belongings. As such, it can’t be ignored. If your roof is advancing in age or you are experiencing the need for frequent repairs, it may be time to replace the roof. Look for damage or normal wear and tear, which may include chipping, peeling, and curling that could result in eventual disintegration.
Replace the Front Door
Old doors translate to big drafts and higher than normal energy bills. Modern front doors are made to be more energy efficient, locking in conditioned air and keeping outside air out. On top of energy efficiency, a new front door and entry way can greatly improve curb appeal. According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report, a new steel door can give you an ROI of 188 percent.
Paint Your Exteriors
Fall’s mild temperatures are ideal for exterior painting projects. Not only can a fresh coat of paint extend the life of your trim and siding, it can also protect your home from the harsh elements.
Finish the Basement
Unfinished basements notoriously morph into dust collectors and oversized storage closets, becoming a catch-all for every belonging you want to keep but don’t want to throw out. If your unfinished basement is no longer serving you with meaningful space, consider finishing it. Finished basements not only expand your living space, but they boost your property value and comfort.
Update a Room
If your color scheme is dated or your flooring hasn’t been changed in decades, it’s time to update your interiors. New flooring, furniture, lighting and even a fresh coat of paint can all give your interior rooms a much-needed makeover.
Remodel the Kitchen
Kitchen remodels are a big job, but they can greatly improve the flow of the space, boost your comfort, and offer an expanded area for cooking and eating. A midrange minor kitchen remodel can give you an ROI of 96 percent. Whether you want a complete overhaul or just updated cabinets and appliances, a kitchen remodel is a great way to improve your home’s interior.
Create a Mud Room
Just in time for the rain and mud of fall, a mud room is a great investment for homeowners of all kinds, but especially those who have small children or frequent guests. Creating a space for all those dirty boots, shoes and outerwear keeps the mess near an exit rather than scattered throughout your house, saving the integrity of your flooring in the process.
