Before the Summer ends, it’s a good idea to consider making these renovations to have a cozy winter season:
- Exterior Repairs and Maintenance:
Check for any damaged or worn-out siding, roofing, gutters, and downspouts to prevent water leaks. - Deck and Patio Re-Sealing:
Consider refinishing or re-staining wooden decks to protect them from moisture and ensure longevity. - Window and Door Maintenance:
Check all windows and doors for air leaks or drafts. Properly sealed windows and doors can significantly improve energy efficiency during the colder months and reduce heating costs. If necessary, replace weather-stripping or caulking. - Heating System Servicing:
Have your heating system inspected and serviced by a professional. Cleaning the air ducts, replacing filters, and ensuring that the heating system is functioning optimally can save energy and prevent potential breakdowns during the winter. - Basement Waterproofing:
Inspect the basement for any signs of water leakage or moisture issues. Waterproofing the basement can prevent water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation problems. Consider installing a sump pump if necessary to keep the basement dry and protected.
