4 Home Improvement Projects for Winter

Winter has us in her grips, which means you’ll likely be spending more time indoors. While some homeowners prefer to save remodeling projects for warmer months, this is actually a great time to tackle projects you’ve been putting off, especially those that improve energy efficiency. That’s because winter is generally a slow season for contractors, so projects can be completed more quickly. Colonial Remodeling, your premier home remodeling contractor, suggests focusing on these four upgrades:

  1. Better Windows. Notice a sudden rise in your energy expenses? It may be because of your old, worn-down windows. Damaged, drafty windows invite the cold in and suck the warm, indoor air out, causing your HVAC to use more energy to keep your interior comfortable. Investing in energy-efficient windows will help you save on heating expenses.
  2. Siding Replacement. Your siding plays a big role in your home’s beauty and energy efficiency. Replacing your siding now means you’ll enjoy a more comfortable and attractive home this winter. You can maximize these two benefits by investing in our James Hardie® siding products. Our expert team can provide you with flawless siding installation for peak performance.
  3. Door Upgrade. Your exterior doors also affect your home’s energy efficiency. Cracks in the material can let moisture in, causing water damage, along with possible mold and mildew issues. Additionally, the front door is the first thing guests see when they visit your home, so it can make or break their first impression. We can help you choose a door that suits your needs and complements your home’s design.
  4. Roofing Repairs. Pair your new James Hardie siding with a new roofing system for a harmonious exterior. The roof is the second biggest feature of your exterior after your siding, so problems like missing shingles, faded colors and loose granules all have a huge impact on your home’s curb appeal and comfort. Whether you need a full replacement or a simple repair, you can trust our expertise.
