With summer long gone and fall about to leave us as well, it’s time to begin thinking about making some key home improvements – specifically upgrading your garage door. It just so happens that late fall is the ideal time to tackle a garage door replacement, new insulation, and any other repairs you have been putting off.
There are many reasons for this. First off, autumn falls between the snowy and cold season to come, and the heat and other challenges of next summer. Installation can be difficult in winter, and it can be too hot to paint in summer. While spring is great for cleaning, de-cluttering and making small repairs, fall is the perfect time for fresh beginnings with a home improvement project such as a new garage door.
Here are the biggest reasons for booking your garage contractor in Boston in autumn.
Prepare for Winter
The icy chill of winter can seep into your garage and leak into your main home. If your current garage door is old, has gaps, or doesn’t close properly, a garage door replacement can keep out the elements well before winter hits. This will not only improve your family’s comfort, it will translate to lower energy bills in winter. When you replace your outdated door with a more energy-efficient model, paired with additional insulation, you can better prepare for the cold months on the way while enjoying the season in comfort.
Prevent Summer Weather Damage
Our humid and hot summers can cause heat-related damage to garage doors. Sure, there are some maintenance tasks you can do in summer to combat the effects of high temperatures, dryness, dirt accumulation and corrosion, it’s best to wait till fall to install a new garage door. Now you can enjoy your investment for a while before it has to contend with a hot, dry summer straight away.
Improve Security Before the Holidays
With the holiday season right around the corner, you understandably want to keep your home more secure, safe and comfortable. When you replace your old, flimsy garage door with a new one featuring lock-out buttons, you can do your part to prevent break-ins and increase the security of your home.
