Autumn

Fall Home Improvement

Winterize Your Home Before Cold Weather Arrives It’s not uncommon to spend more time outside the house when the weather is warm. Outdoor living spaces make it easier to enjoy nature at home from late spring through midfall. But as fall gives way to winter and temperatures drop, it’s time to head back indoors. Before the cold weather arrives, homeowners can take several simple steps to winterize their homes. These preparations can make interior spaces more comfortable, improve energy efﬁciency, and help protect the home from the challenges of winter weather.

Check for drafts: Inspect windows and doors throughout the home for gaps that may allow cold air to enter. Drafts can be easier to detect in the evening, when outdoor temperatures are cooler. Apply weatherstripping around doors and windows where needed. If aging windows or doors are allowing significant drafts, consider replacing them to improve comfort and energy efficiency. Call a chimney sweeping service: Before using a fireplace for the first time this season, have the chimney inspected and cleaned by a qualified professional. Animals may have built nests inside the chimney, while creosote, a highly flammable substance created when wood burns, can accumulate over time. Removing

these hazards can reduce the risk of chimney fires and help ensure dangerous gases, including CO, can safely exit the home. Reverse your ceiling fans: Ceiling fans can be useful during the colder months as well. Set fans to rotate clockwise so they push warm air that naturally rises toward the ceiling back down into the living space. This simple adjustment can help rooms feel warmer without requiring homeowners to turn up the thermostat and increase energy costs. Replace your HVAC air filter: Replace the air filter in your HVAC system before winter arrives. A clean filter can help the system operate more efficiently, potentially reducing energy use and heating costs. It can also improve indoor air quality during winter, when windows are generally closed for extended periods. Winterizing a home does not have to

be a major undertaking. Taking care of these simple maintenance and safety tasks before winter arrives can help homeowners stay comfortable, improve efﬁciency, and prepare their homes for the colder months ahead.

Check your carbon monoxide detectors: Fall is a good time to check all carbon monoxide (CO) detectors throughout the home. The Minnesota Department of Health notes that CO is an odorless, colorless gas that cannot be detected by the senses. It can come from sources such as water heaters, gas stoves, ﬁreplaces and clothes dryers. When

windows remain closed for long periods during winter, CO can build up indoors and become dangerous. Make sure every detector is working properly and replace any that are not.

Fall Home Improvement

Things To Know When Replacing Windows

Replacing windows can be a worthwhile investment. New windows can improve a home’s curb appeal and value while increasing energy efﬁciency and security. When considering replacement, homeowners should keep several factors in mind. • Know the window types. Doublehung windows feature operable upper and lower sashes, allowing warm air to escape through the top while cooler air enters below. Single-hung windows have only an operable lower sash. Sliding windows have panels that move horizontally, while picture windows are ﬁxed and provide wide views and natural light.

10% OFF

• Determine whether to repair or replace. Some older windows may only need repairs, which can save homeowners thousands of dollars. A professional can determine whether components can be repaired. However, rotten framing, moisture problems, and signiﬁcant drafts often indicate replacement is the better option. • Understand replacement and construction windows. Replacement, or pocket, windows are installed within an existing frame. Construction windows require removal of the entire old window, including the frame, sill, and trim, making them more expensive to install. • Consider frame materials. Vinyl windows are affordable and low-maintenance. Aluminum and aluminum-clad windows are economical, corrosion-resistant, and require little upkeep. Wood provides a traditional appearance, while ﬁberglass is durable and

resists cracking, warping, rust, and corrosion. • Keep costs in mind. Fixr reports that professional window replacement averages about $800 per window nationally. Replacing multiple windows in a one-story home can cost around

FREE ESTIMATES

$8,000, depending on the project. When selecting replacement windows, look for the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label, which provides information about energy performance. The ENERGY STAR logo indicates that the window meets established energyefﬁciency standards.

Windows are durable, but they do not last forever. According to This Old House, home windows can last 15 to 50 years, with many reaching the end of their useful life around 20 years. As windows age, seals can weaken or fail, making them more susceptible to drafts, moisture, and water seepage.

A Guide To Fall Lawn Care

Spring is the season most often associated with lawn care, and for good reason. Grass starts growing in spring, making it a good time to fertilize many types of grass so lawns can look their best and withstand the hotter, drier weather of summer. While spring is when many homeowners begin tending to their lawns, it’s important to recognize the signiﬁcance of fall lawn care as well. Homeowners should identify their type of grass so they can provide the care it needs before winter’s ﬁrst frost. Coolseason grasses, such as perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass, are common in many regions, and the following strategies can help homeowners tend to their lawns this fall. Stick to your recommended fertilization schedule: Homeowners who have been fertilizing since spring should continue doing so in fall at the recommended intervals. It’s easy to forget as temperatures cool and schedules become busier, but many fertilizer manufacturers recommend applying their products several times throughout the year, including in fall. Follow the intervals listed on the fertilizer packaging. Conduct a soil test: A soil test can determine if the soil is lacking nutrients needed for healthy grass growth. Amendments can help restore pH balance, if necessary, and promote stronger growth in spring.

Aerate, if necessary: Soil can become compacted over time, making it harder for water and fertilizer nutrients to reach grass roots. Compaction can weaken grass and make it more vulnerable to drought and other adverse weather. Aeration can promote stronger root development and may be best left to professionals, particularly for larger lawns. Remove excessive thatch: Thin layers of thatch can beneﬁt lawns by providing nutrients from grass clippings and leaves. However, excessive thatch can block air, water and fertilizer from reaching the soil. Thatch often can be removed with a rake, while especially thick layers may require scarifying or professional dethatching. Continue to water the lawn: Coolseason grasses still require water into the fall. Though lawns generally need less frequent watering than they do in summer, professionals note that coolseason grasses still need roughly an inch of water each week.

Seaford Students Are Back To School And Ready To Learn August turned into September, and that meant the start of a new school year in Seaford. More than 2,100 students arrived on the morning of Sept. 1 at the high school, middle school and two elementary schools, ready for a year of learning ahead. Seaford High School hosted several workshops throughout the day

including sessions with guidance counselors and a Seaford Scholars activity. Seniors proudly donned their Class of 2027 T-shirts and many decorated their cars. Harbor and Manor elementary schools welcomed the district’s youngest learners. Incoming kindergartners, who will graduate high

school in 2039, arrived for their true first day of school and began by meeting new friends and learning classroom routines. At Seaford Middle School, sixth graders began their journey into the secondary years, with new experiences such as changing classes and having lockers. Photos courtesy of the Seaford School District

Sixth graders are ready to take on middle school.

Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora welcomed children as they arrived for the first day of school at Manor.

Remove leaves as they fall: Fallen leaves can block water and nutrients from reaching the soil, much like excessive thatch. Remove leaves regularly, particularly when they begin accumulating in large quantities. Fall is an opportune time to tend to a lawn and increase the chances that grass will grow back strong and healthy in spring.

New high school science teacher Matthew Teplansky got his ninth grade students off to a quick start with a group STEAM challenge.

Fall Home Improvement

The Benefits Of A Fall Roof Replacement A roof is a vital component of a home, protecting the structure from the elements and ensuring that sun, rain, wind, and snow do not compromise the integrity of interior spaces. Peak Performance Roofing says the average asphalt shingle roof found on many homes lasts between 15 and 30 years. Alternative roofing materials, such as metal or clay tiles, can last much longer. Homeowners who stay in a home for many years will likely need to replace the roof at some point. Choosing when to replace a roof may come down to selecting the right season. Experts typically consider fall a prime time to upgrade a roof for a variety of reasons. Moderate temperatures: Fall weather tends to be comfortable in many regions of the country. Magnolia Home Remodeling Group says fall temperatures are better suited for roofing and allow materials to perform at their best. When temperatures are too hot,

shingles can become soft and prone to scuffing, while cold temperatures can make materials brittle and difficult to seal. Comfort for workers: The same moderate conditions can make it easier for roofing contractors to get the work done. It can be extremely hot on a roof during summer, necessitating frequent breaks for workers. Winter weather conditions are not ideal for working on a roof, with snow and ice making surfaces slippery. Fall weather can help workers feel more comfortable. Avoid the rush: Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC says spring and early summer are peak seasons for roofing contractors due to post-winter repairs. Homeowners may experience shorter wait times, better pricing, and more flexible scheduling if they opt for a fall roof replacement. Prepare for winter: Replacing a roof in the fall means having a new, func-

tional barrier against winter storms, which can be particularly hard on aging roofs. It also means the roof will be ready for rainy spring weather. Fall is an ideal time to replace a roof

for many reasons. Homeowners can use the summer to research and vet rooﬁng contractors and develop a plan that ﬁts their schedules and budgets.
