Fall has finally come to Los Angeles, and winter is around the corner! With the seasonal change, comes also new opportunities for home improvement and remodeling. And although we do not get much snow in southern California, we, nevertheless, maintain that Christmas spirit. What better time than now then to really get that new fire place that would be perfect for this year's holiday season? Or take advantage of the cooler weather to really go for a backyard or front yard renovation?
The cooling weather is a perfect time to build that dream garden. We in southern California are lucky to have mild winters where most plants can survive, and even thrive. So it's a great time to plant that garden, although you should make sure you use plants that will not be susceptible to the rapid change in the weather.
But it isn't all decorations, and aesthetics. Autumn is a great time to tackle maintenance and repair projects such as making sure your walls are properly insulated, or that the heating unit is working properly. Often we encounter projects this time of the year that have to do with replacing or fixing major parts of our clients' roofs. As the winter months come in and the rains start, a leaky roof can really upset the holiday mood.
The lax and comfortable summer months are now behind us, the kids are back at school, there is a crisp, cool, autumn breeze, and a go-get-em spirit int he air. Take advantage of this season to treat you and your family to a new kitchen, garden, fire place. Or take the opportunity to really make sure your winter months are going to be comfortable. Just remember, always hire a professional contractor, who is licensed and understands the project you may have.
