Just because good weather is about to come to an end for awhile in some areas, doesn’t mean you can’t keep tackling your home projects. In fact some of the Best Home Improvements are done in winter, like:

-  Ventilation should be given attention. Attic insulation should not cover ventilation vents in the eaves, which prevents winter ice dams. Ridge vent and vents at eaves should be free of plants and debris. And if there are holes, fix them…
-  The minimum you should so is at least undertake the cleaning of your home … Vacuuming under and behind freezer and fridge… And chimneys need to be cleaned and checked by chimney sweeps regularly. Decks need to be power-washed and resealed after every 4-5 winters.

- The older type storm windows should be replaced while you’re at it. Reinstall the window latches , fix cracked or broken window panes … Exterior walls should be checked. Pipes and wires should be sealed   while outer walls should be checked and filled up so that no air can leak in.
