As the temperatures start to drop, your home’s exterior begins to work a lot harder. The good news? Fall is the perfect season to give your home the attention it deserves—from sealing windows to sprucing up outdoor spaces. A few simple projects now can mean a warmer, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient winter ahead. 

Here are five exterior upgrades that deliver comfort and long-term value: 

1. Seal and Insulate Windows and Doors 

When cold air sneaks in, your heating bills go up. Check around window frames and doorways for drafts or visible gaps. Re-caulking or adding weather stripping can make a big difference, but if your windows are over a decade old, replacement might be your best investment. 

At Design Pro Exteriors, we specialize in energy-efficient window installations that enhance your home’s comfort, style, and savings. You’ll feel the difference — and so will your wallet. 

 2. Inspect and Clean Gutters 

Fallen leaves and debris can clog gutters fast, leading to water overflow and potential foundation issues. Take time to clear them out and ensure downspouts are draining away from the house. While you’re up there, check fascia boards and trim for signs of rot or peeling paint. 

If it’s time for an upgrade, we can help restore or replace exterior trim to keep your home looking polished and protected. 

3. Refresh Your Deck Before the Freeze 

Your deck has weathered a summer of sun and storms—now’s the time to show it some love. Tighten loose boards, sand rough spots, and apply a protective sealant before winter sets in. 

We build and repair custom decks that can handle harsh seasonal changes while still looking great year after year. Whether you want a full rebuild or a quick refresh, our team ensures your outdoor living space is safe and ready for next spring. 

4. Consider Enclosing Your Porch 

Imagine sipping coffee on a crisp morning without bundling up in five layers. An enclosed porch or 3-season room lets you enjoy the beauty of fall without the chill. 

Design Pro Exteriors creates custom porch conversions that seamlessly match your home’s look—adding both comfort and resale value. 

5. Add Outdoor Lighting 

As daylight hours shorten, exterior lighting becomes essential. Well-placed lights boost curb appeal and make your home safer. Focus on entryways, steps, and walkways. Solar-powered fixtures or low-voltage LED systems are energy-efficient and easy to maintain.
