Home Improvement Projects Perfect for Winter

Winter isn’t usually seen as a good time for taking on home improvement projects, but it can be if you know which project to tackle! Yes, there are some home improvement tasks that will have to wait until spring arrives, but there are some that you can start on now so you can focus on those bigger projects once the warm weather rolls in.

Painting

Painting isn’t something that people typically see as an option during the winter. If you keep your windows open to let the fumes out, you’ll freeze right? Not anymore! New low VOC paints (volatile organic compounds) don’t give off the same fumes that other paints do. This means painting in the winter without those terrible headaches from the smell is possible.

Update Lighting Fixtures

Are your lighting fixtures or ceiling fans starting to look a bit dated? Take the opportunity this winter to update them! The only time you’ll have to step out into the cold for this home improvement task is walking from your car to the store to pick up your new fixtures.

While you’re at it, does your home lighting use any dimmer switches? Consider switching out your old light switches for dimmer switches. Get that movie theater feel in your own living room by lowering the lights (and not sitting in a pitch-black room). Dimmers help to save money on electricity costs!

Replace Doors

While most people choose to replace their entry doors and patio doors during the spring or summer, it can really be done any time of the year! Professionals, like the team at Aspen Home Improvements, can get your new doors installed so quickly you’ll barely even notice the cold!

Replace Windows

Replacing windows is yet another home improvement project people think needs to be done in the summer. When you hire a professional that has experience in window replacement, that old window will be out and the new one in before your home’s temperature even drops one degree!

Need a good reason to replace your windows in the winter? Almost zero wait-time. Since everyone waits until the summer to tackle this, your window replacement appointment could be scheduled much faster than in the warmer months!
