5 Smart Home Renovations to Tackle Before Fall
Late summer is more than just a time for winding down vacations and prepping for the back-to-school rush. It’s also one of the smartest times to take on home renovation projects—before colder weather and busy holiday schedules set in. At BP Remodeling, we help homeowners make meaningful upgrades that add comfort, value, and functionality to their space.
If you’ve been thinking about updating your home, August is a great month to start. Here are five smart renovation projects to tackle now to get your home fall-ready.
1. Upgrade Your Insulation and Windows
Energy efficiency becomes a priority as the seasons shift. Drafty windows and insufficient insulation can lead to higher energy bills and a less comfortable home as temperatures begin to drop.
Consider using this time to:
Replace outdated or inefficient windows
Add or improve attic and wall insulation
Seal interior gaps around doors, windows, and vents
These upgrades will help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, improve your home’s energy efficiency, and reduce heating costs in the months ahead.
2. Remodel Your Kitchen for Function and Flow
The kitchen tends to become even more of a gathering space during fall and winter—whether for family dinners, weekend baking, or holiday hosting. If your current layout feels cramped, outdated, or disorganized, now’s the time to start fresh.
A few smart kitchen renovations to consider include:
Upgrading countertops and cabinetry
Installing a new kitchen island or expanding existing counter space
Replacing outdated appliances with energy-efficient models
Improving lighting and fixture placement for better visibility and ambiance
Remodeling now means your kitchen will be fully ready for the busy season ahead.
3. Refresh or Remodel the Bathroom
As the seasons change, comfort becomes more important—especially in high-use areas like the bathroom. Whether you're looking to improve daily routines or increase home value, a bathroom renovation is a worthwhile investment.
Late summer is a great time to:
Upgrade to water-efficient fixtures and modern finishes
Install heated flooring or new tile
Improve lighting and ventilation
Expand storage or update vanities for better organization
These upgrades not only make the space more enjoyable but can also enhance functionality for guests during the holidays.
4. Finish or Remodel the Basement
With cooler temperatures on the horizon, families naturally spend more time indoors. Finishing or renovating your basement now allows you to add valuable living space before that seasonal shift begins.
Popular basement renovations include:
Creating a home office, gym, or creative studio
Designing a playroom or hangout space for kids
Adding a guest suite or in-law area
Building a home theater or game room for cozy weekends
By starting in August, you’ll have plenty of time to finish your project before the holidays or winter weather limits scheduling flexibility.
5. Create Built-In Storage Solutions and Maximize Space
Clutter tends to build up during the fall and winter, especially when more time is spent indoors. Adding custom built-in storage is a practical way to maintain organization and reduce stress as routines get busier.
Smart storage upgrades to consider:
Mudroom benches or cubbies near entryways
Custom shelving for closets, pantries, or laundry rooms
Built-in cabinetry in living areas or home offices
Storage nooks under staircases or in unused corners
These functional upgrades make your home more efficient and enjoyable without requiring a major renovation.
