5 Home Upgrades to Prioritize Before Winter

Since winter is just around the corner, it makes perfect sense to invest in projects that can help reinvigorate your home’s look and boost energy efficiency. Handyman Connection® of Grapevine shares a rundown of the top home improvement projects this fall.

1. Windows

Your windows can help enhance your home’s energy efficiency unless they are drafty. Drafts passing through your old windows may force your HVAC system to work twice as hard to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, resulting in higher utility bills. To avoid these problems, schedule a window replacement project with your local contractor.

2. Doors

Similar to windows, doors also need replacement, most especially if they are damaged or difficult to open or shut close. They are an integral part of your home’s thermal efficiency, which is why installing energy-saving doors is a must.

3. Roof

As your home’s primary defense against the elements, your roof needs to remain intact and damage-free. Many homeowners, however, tend to ignore leaks and other roof-related problems thinking they can get away from them without consequences. To avoid compromising your home’s energy efficiency and comfort level this winter, get in touch with your trusted contractor that installs a high-quality roofing system.

4. Siding

Siding can help revamp your home’s look, but it’s also a good way to keep the insulation material on your walls dry. You may choose from a wide array of options, depending on your preference. The most popular materials include vinyl, wood, and fiber cement siding.

5. Gutter

Your gutters are an essential component of your roof, which helps protect your home from water damage. Consider a gutter replacement or repair if your current gutters are leaky, clogged, or sagging.
