The colder temperatures in winter often make you want to curl up on the couch and stay indoors with a warm cup of coffee or tea. However, over time, boredom might set in, along with the urge to work on a new project. This time of year is great for tackling home remodeling and improvement tasks that you might put off during sunnier, warmer months when you might be more likely to spend time outside or away from the house. Here are three great ideas to consider while you're hanging out at home this winter. 

What Parts of Your Home Should You Renovate This Winter?

1. Repair Exterior Wood

The humidity and dampness of spring and summer can lead to rotting wood. If left unaddressed, saturated timber on or around the exterior of your house can break or crack, allowing moisture to penetrate the material. Wet wood is also an invitation for termites that can cause extensive damage that requires costly repairs. The colder, dryer months of the year create the perfect conditions to repair, replace, and seal exterior wood, whether it's decking, fencing, or home siding.

2. Paint Interior Walls

The colder seasons often bring about dull, gray weather. Adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls is a great home remodeling project that adds vibrancy and visual stimulation to your property. 

If you don't want to commit to painting the entire house, focus on one impactful room, like the kitchen or family room. Accent walls with a unique color scheme can also spice up the inside of your home. Repainting interior trim can also transform a room with minimal effort. It also helps keep dust and dirt away year-round.

3. Recaulk Windows & Doors

Poorly sealed windows and doors often result in drafts throughout the house, which can negatively impact the indoor temperature. They can also cause your heating system to work harder to maintain warmth, resulting in higher energy bills.

Gaps in and around doors and windows also provide an entry point for bugs and pests who seek warmer environments when it's cold outside. Recaulking these openings helps the property retain heat throughout the winter and protects the home from an infestation.
