Fall Projects Worth Tackling Before Winter Hits

As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, fall becomes one of the best seasons to take on home improvement projects. The weather is cool enough for comfort, yet the ground hasn’t frozen—making it the perfect window to wrap up outdoor work before winter sets in.

At Mile High Lumber Co. & Construction, we’ve seen how a few smart fall upgrades can make your home more enjoyable, energy-efficient, and ready for the colder months ahead.

Build or Refresh Your Deck or Porch

Cooler weather means less humidity and fewer bugs—ideal conditions for construction. Whether you’re repairing worn boards, adding railings, or starting from scratch, fall is a great time to upgrade your outdoor living space. You’ll be able to enjoy it for fall cookouts now, and it’ll be ready to go next spring.

Pro Tip: Choose pressure-treated or composite lumber for long-lasting durability in every season.

Add a Pergola, Pavilion, or Firewood Shelter

If you’ve been dreaming about an outdoor structure, now’s the time to build it. Pergolas and pavilions extend your outdoor living into the cooler months, and a simple firewood shelter or storage shed helps protect your supplies through winter.

DIY or Done-For-You: Whether you’re handy with tools or want our construction crew to handle the build, we can supply quality materials or full project support.

Improve Home Efficiency

A few strategic fall projects can also prepare your home for cold weather. Consider upgrading your doors, adding storm windows, or reinforcing framing to cut down on drafts. Our team can help you choose materials that balance performance and style.
