Now that the holidays are fast approaching, it’s possible that you may have some guests coming over your home to stay for a few days to spend some time with you. With that in mind, it’s understandable if you want to improve your home to make it more appealing and welcoming for them. Thankfully, from your roofing to the plumbing, there are various ways you can improve your home this winter.
Here, Howard Roofing & Home Improvements shares five ways you can spruce up your home this winter season, beginning with:
Window Replacement – You might be surprised to learn that it is possible to replace your windows during the winter season. In fact, there are a few advantages to doing so; for instance, you’ll be able to save a significant amount on your heating bills during the season as well as on the labor and material costs. Apart from that you can also make your home warm and comfortable during the winter for you and your guests as well.
Seal Up Openings – There are many areas in your home where cold air can seep in and warm air can escape, making your home colder than usual and potentially causing your heating bills to spike. To prevent this from happening, seal the seams of your windows and doors with caulk or weatherstripping.
Tend to Your Gutters and Roof – Consider calling a roofing company to install a heated cable system under the first few rows of your shingles. That way, the roof will have an easier time melting the ice and snow that can cause moisture damage to your roof. Apart from that, have your professionals remove any debris from your gutters as well so the snowmelt can freely flow through them.
Add a Programmable Thermostat – It can be easy to forget to adjust your home’s thermostat, especially during a busy time such as the holidays. Unfortunately, this can cause your heating bills to balloon. With that in mind, consider installing a programmable thermostat around your home so it’ll automatically adjust throughout the day, allowing you to save a considerable amount on your bills.
Insulate – Since you’re already improving your home, make sure to insulate everything that needs insulating while you’re at it. Add insulation to your plumbing and pipes so they don’t freeze and burst while your attics and crawl spaces can use the insulation to prevent warm air from escaping your home.
