Murfreesboro Home Upgrade Tips

Exterior Pressure Washing

This is one of the first steps in fall outdoor maintenance. Cleaning a house’s exterior can be a daunting task, but it can go a long way. It’s a good idea to get a jump on winter and pressure wash the exterior, driveway and decks before the cold weather is here to stay.

Gutter Cleaning

There’s no stopping it, but leaves will fall within the next 30 days. If you haven’t cleaned gutters in the last cycle, then they will more than likely need to be cleaned this fall. Blocked gutters can cause problems with water flow in time if they are not cleaned regularly.

Mowing and Landscaping

Landscaping can improve a home’s appearance significantly. New shrubs, plants and trees can add a nice visual to home and give it new life. There are several cold-season vegetables that can be planted in the fall and flowers that add color to a home. In the same manner, many shrubs and trees can be planted in the fall as well.

Deck Repair and Weatherproofing

After pressure washing a deck, it is essential to protect it against the elements. Weatherproofing and repairs are key to deck maintenance and if they are accomplished in the fall then it will look like a new deck when spring arrives and

Roofing Inspections and Repair

It may not be time for a new roof, but it is always a good idea to check and see the wear and tear from each season. When a roof should be replaced can depend on a few factors, but early inspection and looking for visual cues are key to a roof’s longevity.

Painting

Painting an interior is an instant way to add color and energy to a room. With a new color and a few gallons of paint, a home can look like new and give a homeowner a reenergized feeling. After this step, adding new furniture or rearranging items can put the finishing touch on an interior upgrade.
