With winter finally approaching, most of us are going to be spending a lot more time indoors sheltering from harsh, brisk weather. If you’re planning on getting cozy this winter, you might want to consider taking on a few home improvement projects. Here are five projects to help you be more comfortable in your home!
Upgrade Your Windows
The quality and fit of your windows are crucial to keeping heat insulated in your home. There’s no point in paying for copious amounts of heating in the winter-time if cold air can easily seep through your windows and into your house. While replacing windows can be a bit pricey, it’s a project that will benefit your wallet in the long run and can be made possible through payouts from a reverse mortgage.
Install Tile Backsplash
A great way to spice up your kitchen or bathroom is to add a tile backsplash onto any wall area of your choosing! The addition of a backsplash is a great way to add a dash of interest to your home and to give it a more inviting feeling. It’ll also serve to protect your paint or wallpaper from any staining in high-use areas such as above a stovetop or a bathroom sink.
Seal Up Any Air Leaks
Another way to preserve both money and heat during the colder months is to seal any air leaks or openings around your house with caulk, waterproof sealant, or weatherstripping. A few areas that you should spend some time focusing on are windows, door frames, vents, and pipes. This project is a great, budget-friendly option to improve the comfortability of your home!
Repaint Interior Walls
During the winter season, it becomes difficult to do a thorough paint job on your home’s exterior due to snow, frost, or rain. However, if you still want to freshen up your home nothing is stopping you from redoing the paint on any interior walls. We recommend that you switch it up this winter and go for a darker shade of paint in any space that you want to feel cozier.
If your home needs some work this winter, utilizing reverse mortgage payouts maybe your best option to create a home improvement fund. Give us a call at Idaho Reverse Mortgage to learn more about how you can obtain a reverse mortgage! (208) 863-6610
