What Are Home Projects I Need to Complete this Fall?

The leaves are just beginning to change and the weather is taking a cooler turn. The days are getting a little bit shorter, and you’re starting to think about those home projects you need to finish before winter sets in. As with any season, there are plenty of tasks to check off that list before the first snow falls, so here’s a short list of projects that Hunter Handyman Services would be happy to help with:

-Gutter cleaning and repair: Fall is the perfect time to get your gutters cleaned or repaired. We can help make sure there aren’t any leaves or other debris clogging them up, and let you know of any potential repairs.

-Check your attic: Is your attic properly insulated? This is often the place where warm air leaks out and cold air sweeps in, so now’s the time to repair any drafty windows, patch up holes, and get your insulation checked.

-Refinish and repair your deck or patio: Do you have any loose boards in your deck that need to be repaired? Does your deck or patio need to be power washed and re-stained before the winter? Fall is the best time to tackle those projects!

-Power wash and repair your siding: While you power wash your deck, why not power wash your home, too? And if you’ve found any warping or holes in your siding, it’s best to get that repaired before winter sets in.

-Moving patio furniture and garden decorations: Do you have any outdoor furniture or garden decorations that need to be moved back to storage? Do you have patio umbrellas, canopies, or other outdoor items that need to be taken down? We can help with that! 

-Replacing and repairing windows: We can’t say it enough–don’t suffer with drafty windows! Let us help you save on energy costs this winter by repairing or replacing those old windows. See why we love Alside’s Mezzo windows.

-Winterizing your home: You probably have a routine for this already, but if not, let Hunter Handyman Services do the work for you. We can check for drafty doors and windows, patch up any air leaks, and make sure your home is protected against the winter chill.
