• Fall is a great time to add some color and
  character to your home. You can make it beautiful
  with just a few small changes. Here are some
  quick tips from Renozee that will help you
  prepare for cooler weather, falling leaves, and
  holidays
• You may be thinking that its a little too early
  to start thinking about fall because youre still
  enjoying the Cincinnati summer weather and
  havent even started getting ready for Halloween.
  But if you want your home to look its best when
  the leaves start changing colors, several
  projects should be done now.

• Exterior projects If youre lucky enough to live
  in a climate where painting or staining your
  house isnt necessary year-round, this is one of
  the first exterior projects you can do as soon as
  school lets out. Just remember to wait until
  temperatures are high enough so no one gets hurt
  while working outside!
• Interior projects Once fall rolls around, most
  people focus on their homes interiors instead of
  their exteriors. This gives them an opportunity
  for some much-needed TLC on things like kitchens
  and bathrooms without needing to worry about
  ruining their freshly painted exterior walls for
  them not only look nice but also stay nice.

• The fall season is coming and that means cooler
  weather, falling leaves, and holidays are around
  the corner. Fall is also the perfect time to
  consider home improvement projects that will give
  you plenty of time to enjoy them before winter
  sets in. To get you started, here are 10 popular
  fall home improvement projects that will enhance
  your living space and hopefully add value to your
  home as well.
• Installing a new roof If your roof has seen
  better days or needs repairs after a storm or
  other event, replacing it may be in order this
  fall season. A new roof provides many benefits
  including improved energy efficiency as well as
  increased durability against future storms or
  other natural disasters like earthquakes or
  hurricanes (depending on where you live).

• Adding an area rug Area rugs are great at
  adding warmth and softness to any room while also
  giving character through patterning and color
  choices on various surfaces from wood floors to
  hardwood flooring options! You can even buy one
  for less than 100 depending on the size!
• Exterior painting
• Exterior painting is one of the most popular fall
  home improvement projects in Cincinnati. You can
  do it over a weekend and reap the benefits for
  years to come.

• Its a great way to increase your homes value by
  improving curb appeal
• It can help protect against mold and mildew
• It will make your home look fresh, clean, and new
• Re-caulk doors windows
• Re-caulking doors and windows are one of the
  easiest ways to give your home a facelift. If
  youre not sure where to start, hire a home
  improvement contractor via the Renozee App to
  help.
• To re-caulk doors and windows, follow these steps

7

• Clean the area with soap and water. Make sure no
  dust or grime could get trapped under the caulk.
• Apply a thin bead of latex caulk along both sides
  of each joint between the door or window frames
  and sashes (if youre re-caulking large areas
  like a window frame). Use a caulk gun for best
  results, but if you dont have one handy, apply
  it with an old butter knife insteadjust try not
  to gouge yourself!
• Clean gutters
• Keeping your gutters clean can be a tedious job
  and might seem like an unnecessary one since they
  just collect leaves and other debris.

8

• However, if you dont take care of them
  regularly, they can start to leak and cause
  serious damage to the rest of your home. Here are
  some tips on how to make sure that doesnt
  happen
• Use a leaf blower or shovels/rakes to clear out
  the gutters regularly so that they do not get
  clogged up with leaves or other debris (this is
  best done after heavy rain showers).
• Make sure there is no debris in the gutters
  before using either method above. You may also
  want to use a hose for this step as well but
  removing leaves manually will keep everything
  flowing smoothly!

9

• Pressure wash
• A pressure washer is a great way to remove dirt
  and grime from your home, as well as mildew or
  mold that may be growing on the surface of your
  home. You can pressure wash your home yourself,
  but it is a good idea to hire a professional home
  improvement contractor if you are not experienced
  with this type of work.
• Install a programmable thermostat
• A programmable thermostat is a great way to save
  money and energy.

10

• It allows you to tweak your homes temperature
  settings based on the season, so that it can be
  more comfortable in the winter and cooler in the
  summer.
• What is a programmable thermostat?
• A programmable thermostat is a device that
  controls your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air
  conditioning) system. The most common type of
  programmable thermostat uses sensors or
  sensors/controllers which monitor internal
  temperatures of rooms or areas within buildings
  and then adjust heating/cooling accordingly. Some
  models have built-in timers so they turn off when
  no one is around others allow you to set
  schedules such as kick-off times when
  everyone should wake up at 8 AM regardless of if
  theyre going out until 11 PM later that night!

• Upgrade your ceiling lights
• You may not realize it, but your ceiling lights
  can make or break a space. While they are often
  overlooked, modern ceiling lights have become
  quite popular over the last decade. You can
  choose from a range of styles and materials
  including
• Art glass ceiling lights If you want to
  highlight artwork in your home, these are ideal.
  They come in different shapes and sizes so you
  can find the right fit for each room.
• Metal ceiling pendants These are great for
  adding style to an open-plan kitchen/dining area
  or simply highlighting an all-white kitchen space.

12

• Textured bronze ceiling pendants If youre
  looking for something more traditional, bronze is
  always an elegant choice! Itll add warmth to any
  room without being too gaudy or overwhelming
  (like gold).
• Theres no reason why you shouldnt upgrade your
  old lights with something new! At the very least,
  think about replacing any light bulbs with LEDs
  which use up less energy while still giving off
  plenty of light.
• Winterize irrigation system
• Winterize your irrigation system by shutting off
  the water to your sprinkler heads.

13

• Then, place a bucket under each sprinkler head
  and allow any remaining water to flow into the
  bucket. Remove the head and store it in a dry
  place until you are ready to install it again.
• Clean out each line by using a garden hose with a
  spray nozzle attached at its end.
• Roof repairs
• Roof repairs are a great investmentthey can
  increase the value of your home and make it more
  comfortable to live in. A professional roofing
  contractor can assess the situation and recommend
  solutions, but if youre handy or know someone
  who is, you may be able to handle some repairs
  yourself.

• The most important thing is to have your roof
  inspected by a professional before proceeding
  with any repairs.
• Revive your landscape with mulch pine straw
• Two more simple ways to prepare your home in
  Cincinnati for the fall season are to add mulch
  and pine straw. Mulch helps retain soil moisture,
  and pine straw is a natural mulch that can be
  used in flower beds, vegetable gardens, and

  standard wood chips or bark mulches because it
  protects from weeds without having to be
  replenished as often.

  colorful materials like cedar bark or cocoa bean
  shells in addition to pine straw!
