The Best Winter Home Improvement Projects

December 30, 2021 by Karen Baker Leave a Comment

The Best Winter Home Improvement Projects

Home improvement projects are often thought of come Spring or even Summer, from clearing the gutters, re-staining a deck, and planting seasonal color in the garden, many homeowners tend to start their yearly projects as the weather warms up. Surprisingly, there are quite a few different projects that can, and should be tackled during the cooler months of Winter and Fall. 

The Best Winter Home Improvement ProjectsInsulation

It’s time to check your attic! If your attic isn’t insulated, then chances are, you’ve been overpaying for your heating (and cooling) bill. Insulating your attic is one of the best home improvement projects when it comes to return on investment as it can often lower your energy bill and in some cases can even be eligible for tax credits. You’ll want to do your research to ensure that you insulate your attic properly.

Interior Painting

Painting is a great option for a winter upgrade as it doesn’t require you to be outside. The only downfall to choosing this upgrade is that you may have some fumes from the paint lingering in your home unless you’re willing to crack a window or door for air circulation. Whether you plan on some touch up paint, repainting the whole interior, or adding a few accent walls, painting during the winter months is a great home improvement project to tackle.

Seal Openings

Naturally, you want to ensure that your home stays warm and is temperature controlled, especially during the cooler winter months. An easy way to do this is by sealing all openings or air leaks. Simply seal seams around your windows and doors with new caulking or sealant and add weatherstripping to door jams if needed. By doing this you can not only help keep your home warmer and save on your heating bill, but you are also reducing noise levels from outside and ensuring that your home sees less pollen, dust or insects that seem to work their way through the cracks and openings.

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
