Winter Home Renovations to Complete Before the Holiday Guests Arrive

You may be thinking it’s too late to start a home improvement project before the holidays are here, but the truth is that there’s still time left. With the help of a reputable and experienced remodeling company, there’s still plenty of time left to complete many remodeling projects that are bound to make a huge difference in the way your home looks, feels, and functions this winter. 

If you’re thinking about tackling a home improvement project to make your home more beautiful for your guests, or simply to enjoy a cozier, more energy-efficient home this winter, take a look at these great ideas from All-Weather Seal of West Michigan and get inspired for a holiday renovation this year.

Make a New First Impression with a New Roof

You might not think of a roof renovation as an easy or simple project to take on right before the holidays. While roof repairs and replacements are more involved than other home improvement ideas on this list, they’re at the top of it for a reason. When it comes to protecting your home through the harsh winter weather, there’s nothing more important than taking care of your roof—whether that’s through maintenance, repairs, or a complete replacement. A new roof will also heighten your home’s curb appeal, which will impress your holiday guests that visit your home.

If your roof is aging, cracked, worn-out, and in need of an upgrade, the right roofing contractor can help you to make a smooth and beautiful replacement before Christmas is here. In fact, winter can be one of the best times for roof renovations—as rates for contractors can be much lower than they are during the high seasons. Contractors are also likely to have more time to schedule your roof replacement than they are during busier months of the year. 

Chimney Restoration

Winter is the best time for taking advantage of your home’s fireplace, especially if you’re decorating and hosting guests at home for the holidays. Experts say that your chimney should be inspected by a professional chimney sweep at least once a year, and cleaned, repaired, and restored if necessary. Most people tend to do this right before the holiday season to ensure a clean and working chimney over the coldest months of the year.

Take a look at your chimney area and consider what you need to do to get it in good condition for hosting your guests. You may want to light a fire to see what happens when it’s in use if you haven’t used it in a while. If your chimney smokes back, it may need cleaning—or it could have other issues that might require a restoration. Ask a chimney sweep company to do an inspection now to have it in working order in time for the holidays this year.

Restore the Front Door

Nothing is more important when greeting guests over the holidays than the front door of your home. Even though we tend to use the front door of our homes often, it’s easy to let this important feature fall into bad shape or disrepair.

Inspect your front door and notice whether it needs cleaning, paint, sanding, or refinishing to look its best. If your door is in very bad shape, or if you’ve noticed reduced energy-efficiency in your home, consider replacing the door with a brand-new one. Steel, fiberglass, and wood entry doors are beautiful, affordable, and long-lasting—and can help you to save money in energy costs over the winter season. 

Custom Window Replacement

Like the front door, your home’s windows can greatly affect the way it looks and performs. If your windows are old, single-pane, cracked, or otherwise in bad condition, consider replacing them with energy-efficient windows before the weather gets even colder this year. Replacing your home’s windows with high-quality, energy-efficient, double or triple-pane products can reduce your energy bills over the cold months and prolong the life of your HVAC system.
