Fall in Love with Remodeling for Autumn

As temperatures start to drop here in New England, it’s natural that we start to stay inside more. So why not stay inside at a home that we love? Here at RemodelWerks we have completed countless projects that have made our clients fall in love with their home all over again.

Why is fall the perfect time to remodel your home? For starters- it’s the perfect temperature. It’s not too hot, yet it’s not too cold. Along with that, it’s the perfect time to prepare for winter.

Massachusetts winters come along with heavy snow and sometimes even roof damage. Winter may seem far away, but sometimes we get winter weather starting in late October, which is why roof replacement is something to consider his fall. Replace your roof to ensure that you don’t have to worry this winter! Roof replacements are important since they will give you a structurally sound roof that will give your home better attic insulation and proper ventilation which leads to fewer air leaks. What are air leaks? Well, they could be the reason that your cooling and heating bills are so high. It’s when outside air enters your home uncontrollably through openings or cracks. RemodelWerks can help you prevent air leaks or roof damage in order to ensure that your home stays safe and sound this season.

Another way to keep your home comfy and cozy is to replace your windows and doors. Windows and doors typically need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years since over time, windows and doors tend to become less effective at blocking the weather out.

As you get ready for all of your season favorites like pumpkin spice and football, you may want to consider getting an addition to your home. Is the man of the house too loud when his favorite team isn’t doing so well during the football game? Move the TV to a newly finished basement or an addition to your home made just for him. We think he’d love a man cave. Hosting people during those football games? We can turn your basement into a full bar area that will sit perfectly next to the tv. If you find yourself getting into a new hobby that requires more space (fitness, crafting, etc.) then you might want to consider getting an addition for your home to make a home gym or your dream crafting room.

Whatever you dream of, we can do. Contact us today to learn more about what we can do to make your home even more comfortable and welcoming this fall! Be sure to also follow us on our social media pages to keep up with all of our fall projects (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn).

Siding

Although installing new siding on your home is an investment, it can pay off by increasing the value of your home if you plan to sell it soon.

Vinyl is a widely popular material used for siding, and RemodelWerks is highly skilled at installing this type of siding. Vinyl siding is not your only option, though. Exterior siding comes in a variety of materials.
