Help your advertisers use their co-op funds to promote all those Fall Home Improvement brands. I know it is still summer through most of September, but since the kids are already back in school and we are already seeing Halloween décor and Pumpkin Spice “everything” that it just “screams” Fall! Spring and Fall are the two hottest times to do home improvement projects. Spring is a great time to get those outdoor projects done, like painting or staining the deck, painting outdoor trim work, and getting ready for those summer barbeques. Fall is a great time to get some indoor projects done while you can keep the windows open and fresh air coming in. It is also a good time to get some “cleanup” done, such as gutter cleaning, roof repairs, etc.

Short Checklist on the Top Fall Home Improvement Projects

  1. Clean your Gutters! Every fall all those leaves getting shed from the trees can build up in your gutters causing the drains to clog and the gutters to stop functioning. Water can then build up and crack the edge of the roof resulting in rot – no one needs that problem!
  2. Inspect your roof. It is usually a good idea to have a professional do this job and the cost is between $307 – $571. They will look for missing shingles or tiles, holes in the roof, improper nailing or fastening work and make sure nothing is rotting or leaking.
  3. Inspect your siding before the first frost. If you find any holes, cracks, splitting, water or mold damage, have it repaired as quickly as possible. You can get minor damage fixed for as little as $244 before it becomes significant damage with a price tag closer to $5,250!
  4. Replace your old windows with energy efficient models. Replacing all the windows will cost an average of $3,500 – $10,500, depending on how many windows are in your home and the type of window you choose. Newer windows have better seals that prevent climate-controlled air from leaving your home and hot and cold air from entering. You will notice a positive difference in your energy bill within the first month!
  5. Check your heating systems! The first cold snap is NOT when you want to find out that something is broken or malfunctioning in your HVAC system. Make sure you also replace your furnace filter. If you do it at least two times a year – remember to make it spring and fall.
