Introduction: Improve kitchens. Considering all the cooking that goes on during the holiday season, the fall is a great time to make improvements to your kitchen. You can do minor things, like replacing the hardware on your kitchen cabinets, or go big and install all new appliances. Replace old windows. Older windows provide an easy source for cold air to enter the home. Replacing old windows with newer, energy-efficient windows will reduce your energy costs and help to keep your home warm. Insulate attics. You can significantly reduce your energy bills by insulating your attic. It's often the source of drafty, cold air that can make your home chilly during the winter months. Repair roofs. Nobody wants to get up on the roof in the snow and ice. Fall is a great time to replace a damaged roof or make repairs to shingles or the chimney. Paint exteriors. A fresh coat of paint can give your home a brand-new look. Fall weather is perfect for painting outdoors because temperatures over 80 degrees Fahrenheit and direct exposure to sunlight can have negative effects on paint.
