Great Home Improvement Projects for Winter Weather


If you’re like most people, you spend tons of time indoors during the winter. When it’s cold, hunkering down in your warm home is the perfect way to pass the time. However, all that time spent indoors can cause you to notice things around your home that you want to change. Taking care of regular home improvements can make your winter feel more productive. Here are a few simple home improvement tasks you can take care of. 

Deep Clean Your Windows
During the winter, it’s easy to overlook your windows. The shorter days make it easier to ignore the dust and dirt that collect on them. Rather than waiting until spring, give your windows a good deep cleaning. Hire an experienced window cleaner to get rid of grime both inside and out or wipe the insides of your windows down yourself. As long as you take your time and use an appropriate window cleaning solution, you’ll leave your glass cleaner and be able to maximize the shorter periods of daylight.

Upgrade Your Exterior Doors
Your home’s doors, like your windows, can start to look dingy and worn over time. And, if they’re old enough, they can lead to a lot of heat loss in the winter. As your doors and your doorframes shift, they can create drafts, letting tons of cold air inside right when you don’t want it. Instead of leaving those old doors in place until spring, get them replaced during the winter months. Just make sure to work with an experienced technician and let them help you find the perfect door for your home. They’ll also be able to install your new doors quickly so you won’t have to deal with the cold for long.

Repaint Your Living Room
One of the easiest home improvements you can make is to repaint your most-used room: your living room. Choose a single accent wall and paint it in a vibrant color or go wild and paint all of the walls for a complete transformation. Whatever you choose, make sure to use low-VOC paint as you won’t be able to open your windows to air out the space comfortably. 

Upgrade Your Home’s Lighting
With shorter days, you’ll likely be relying on electric lights more often, and updating your light fixtures can add brightness to your space while also increasing the amount of light the light bulbs put out. Think about the style you want to achieve and choose fixtures that match your aesthetic. Keep in mind that it’s best to leave the installation to an experienced electrician. They’ll be able to install your new fixtures safely and make sure everything is up to code.
