Fast & Easy Fall Home Improvement Ideas


Power Wash:
 The heat, humidity and moisture from the summer season has probably left the exterior of your home, porch and deck looking a little dingy. Renting a power washer is an easy way to remove all of the stuck on grime, mold and mildew and give your home a refreshed look!

Winterize your Deck & Outdoor Space: Winterizing your deck is very important for long-term preservation of your investments. Our home deck winterizing checklist includes packing away outdoor furniture, staining the deck, repair damaged wood boards and more.

Clean Gutters & Replace Broken: Gutters are one of the most important aspects of your home’s roofing system as it ensures rain water & runoff move away from your home. Your gutters should be cleaned out at least twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring/summer, to remove all leaves & debris that could cause a costly backup.

Upgrade Facets & Hardware: Instantly upgrade your bathroom or kitchen cabinetry by installing new facets and/or hardware. This fall home improvement project is cost efficient and only takes a few hours, but gives you a new and impressive finish.

Repaint the Walls: While the temperatures are still mild, it is a good time to give your walls a fresh coat of paint. Whether you go with traditional white or decide to go a little bold, the new paint will add to your home’s aesthetic.

Call the Professionals: When it doubt, it is always best to call the professionals for larger home improvement projects such as heater system repair, a roof inspection and electrical repairs. To prevent costly repairs down the road, it is best to have these home systems inspected at least once per year by a reputable company.
