Fall Home Improvement Projects To Do Before Labor Day
Labor Day weekend is coming up, which means 2 things: a nice long weekend filled with family, friends, and outdoor activities and, also, fall is right around the corner! That also means it’s about time you did some home improvement tweaks.
Getting ready for Labor Day requires some planning—meal preparation for outdoor grilling, organizing your home to make it guest-ready, and coming up with some fun activities to entertain your loved ones are just a few examples. But did you know that getting your home ready for fall requires a bit of planning as well? Cooler weather and the winter months are quickly approaching, so it’s important that you set aside some time to visit a local home improvement contractor to help you prep your home for the cold weather before it’s here.
Tackling these 6 home improvement tips around Labor Day will help get you ahead of the game!
6 home improvement tips
1. Trim the Trees
Removing dead tree limbs can help prevent potential disasters during heavy thunderstorms, wind advisories, and, eventually, snowstorms. Plus, it’s easier to spot dead limbs when the ones that are alive still have leaves on them!
2. Clean the Gutters
Take the chance while the weather is still nice to get up on the roof and prep your gutters for the winter snow. Clear out all of the dead leaves and other gunk that has built up over the summer.
3. Repair Your Home’s Roof
Speaking of roofs… make sure your roof is free of problems! Keep an eye out for these 5 telltale signs that it’s time for a roof replacement. If you suspect it’s time for a roof repair or replacement, contact us for an inspection and estimate. The last thing you need is a drafty home due to unseen cracks or holes or, even worse, leaks!
4. Paint the Interior
Thinking about switching up your interior paint colors? There’s no better time than now. The weather is perfect for leaving the windows open while the paint dries—no one wants to be trapped indoors with paint fumes!
5. Clean Your Windows
Over the course of a year, windows can become pretty cloudy, it just happens so gradually that we might not notice it! Before it gets too cool out, open up those windows and give them a good cleaning. Take a look at our window cleaning tips to get you started!
6. Check for Window And Door Drafts
And while you’re cleaning those windows, keep an eye out for drafts—don’t forget to check around the doors too! Not sure how to find or fix drafts in your home? Here are a few methods to find those pesky drafts. Sometimes a quick-fix just won’t cut it, though. A window or door replacement might be in your future! Again, the last thing you want this fall/winter is a drafty home and expensive energy bills.

What Homeowners Say About Aspen
Very good working with this company. Product is good. Like family owned business… very friendly! Purchased a new sliding door and window.
Wonderful people to work with! In order to replace the door, they had to remove the original woodwork, but once it was in they put it back up so well that we can't see a difference. Everyone was great. The salesman, the technician that did the work and the person that did the follow up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
The experience was awesome. Luke, our sales person, was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable and willing to get the answers we needed. The install was easy. They communicated throughout the process. I would recommend Aspen to anyone.
Great window quality. Customer service has been good with taking care of a few minor issues. Nice little gift box when they come for a final review.
Very grateful that this company would tackle the siding on our vintage log cabin. The crew that did the work had weather challenges with several snow events, but the work is well done and we've had compliments as to how Nice our house looks. Thank you Aspen!
