When you want to complete home upgrades, you might think summertime is the best to  get things done. But the heat, humidity, and general busyness of summer vacation  might have you rethinking your plans. Fall is a great time to do home upgrades so here  is a list of what home improvement projects are best done in the fall.
 

Exterior Paint

You might think the hot weather is the prime time to paint but changing your home’s  exterior can be done in the fall as well. Paint tends to dry better in cooler and less  humid conditions, so it might be worthwhile to schedule this project when the leaves  start to change color.

 

Duct Cleaning

Duct cleaning, vent maintenance, and checking on your furnace are important tasks that  can be done in the fall. If your furnace needs to be replaced or if it’s getting older, it is  better to replace it before the snow comes and you’re less reliant on the heat. Cleaning  your vents and ducts also ensures that the allergens that come from dirt and dust don’t  come into your home.

 

Repair Your Roof

You might not need a complete replacement, but it’s a good idea to fix any loose or  missing shingles before the winter months arrive. If your roof has seen better days,  leaving it alone could result in leaks after the snow melts in the spring, additional  damage during the season, and temperature issues within the house. This is one of the  best autumn home renovations since a strong roof is essential to a home that is  prepared for winter.

 

Replace Your Windows

Correct window insulation is a crucial component of keeping your house warm and  comfortable in the fall. Regrettably, windows in some houses - particularly older ones - have a tendency to allow warm air out and let cold air in. Have you ever noticed that  your house feels more cooler when you’re near a window? Even worse, have you ever  experienced a blow-through draft? One of the most useful fall home improvement  projects is replacing outdated windows. New windows can improve the aesthetics and  functionality of your house in addition to increasing its functionality.

 

Finishing the Basement

We spend more time outside when the weather is nice, and as the year draws to a close  you might find yourself feeling constricted in the house all the time. Finishing the  basement before the winter means you have more room for the whole family and more  cohabitation space.

 

Update the Attic

Working in an attic during the heat might be quite risky. Fall’s cooler days are far better  for beginning any projects or clearing out anything you’ve stashed there. Examine the  insulation in the attic, keep an eye out for air leaks, and block any possible pest  entrances to keep animals from getting cozy. Just be sure they haven’t already  entered. Recall that vents are necessary for both air circulation and the prevention of  mold, so do not shut them off.
