Ideas For Winter Home Improvement Projects
Happy New Year! As we enter the new year, it’s quite natural and expected to think about change and starting with a proverbial clean slate. Typically, the changes we resolve to make in January are focused on giving up bad habits and forming new, healthier ones. Personal growth is always beneficial but it may not be the only resolution you should consider as you dive into 2021. What about the health of your home?
Perhaps there are some home improvements that need to be made or projects that you’d like to tackle in order to make your home more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. In either case, right now while the weather is a bit chillier, it is a great time to focus on interior improvement projects. With that in mind Serve One Construction, a locally owned company offering handyman services in Mountain Brook, Hoover, and throughout the Greater Birmingham metro, has put together a small list of home improvement projects that can be tackled during the winter months.
3 Improvement Projects To Tackle Inside Your Birmingham Home This Winter
Interior painting
While the exterior of your home may benefit from a fresh coat of paint, now is not necessarily the time. To achieve best results, outdoor painting should be done when temperatures exceed 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That does not hold true for interior painting though. Now is the best time to think about adding color to your living room, rejuvenating your bathroom walls, or painting another room (or rooms) in your home. In fact, there couldn’t be a more perfect time especially if you’re going to hire a local painter for the task. Due to the cooler weather painters have increased availability.

Fixing crown molding gaps and cracks
If you’ve noticed gaps or cracks in the crown molding in your home or are wondering why the caulk keeps cracking, you’re not alone. During the winter months when the outside temperature and humidity change – it becomes cooler and drier. This causes the shrinking in the molding and results in the gaps and cracks we just mentioned. Another cause for this issue during the winter is heat. When homeowners turn the heat up in the winter to stay warm, it causes the air to dry out and the end is, you guessed it, cracks. The best time to fix this problem happens to be in winter when the gaps and cracks are the greatest in size. If caulked properly when the problem is at its worst, you’re not likely to have those same issues the following year. At Serve One Construction, we’ve been helping property owners correct this annoying problem for over 10 years and use quality materials to do so.

Upgrading interior door hardware
Changing out the doorknobs, latches, and other hardware on interior doors isn’t necessarily a high priority improvement project but it is one that is fairly economical and can really give your home a new and possibly more modern look. Depending on your level of handiness, this may be a project you can tackle on your own. If you’re not inclined to or don’t have the time to make this improvement, give Serve One a call and we’ll be happy to dispatch a professional handyman to your home.
