Get Your Home Ready For Winter!

WINTER IS COMING

Get your home ready for the colder months ahead!

Winter is coming which means our time outside is limited. Or is it? What if you could transform your outdoor oasis into a winter wonderland. What if your favorite spot to enjoy the colder weather was actually your deck or patio? The Property Improvement Enterprise team is going to show you some simple ways to get your outdoor living space ready for winter!

Fireplace

No longer must fireplaces be enjoyed indoors. Sing your Christmas carols in front of a glowing fireplace or roast your marshmallows amidst the first snow storm. This Canora Grey Quillen Steel Wood Burning fireplace can transform your backyard into a year-round living room. There’s also more petit options for outdoor fireplaces like this Fleur De Lis Living Steel Fireplace. No matter which you choose, nothing beats curling up in front of a fire under a starry winter sky. 

Patio Cover

For those of you that enjoy hanging out on your deck in the summer, adding a patio cover will protect you from the elements year-round. Choose clay or slate materials to make your patio more sustainable and eco-friendly. Patio covers are an amazing option for turning an outdoor space into a living area, because it can make a deck feel more enclosed and similar to a room. With a patio cover, you can enjoy your Friday night football under a full moon, beer in hand no matter the forecast. 

Outdoor Heating

Adding an outdoor heater to a patio is a great way to turn your outdoor space into a year-round living area. This Bali Outdoor Heater is not only stylish, but emits enough heat to keep you comfortable on a snowy day. If you have a patio cover, you can consider mounting a heater like this Veito Blade Heater which uses infrared heat to create a more soothing, relaxing experience. Imagine watching snow fall while enjoying a dinner al fresco!

Porch Enclosure 

If you have a porch, vinyl panels are an affordable and stylish way to upgrade your space for winter. The vinyl panels will include your patio and create a space that feels more like a sunroom. If you live in a colder climate, PES makes an incredible porch enclosure system that can be rolled up or down depending on the weather. 

Hottub 

One of the most FUN ways to upgrade your space for winter -- a hot tub! A hot tub can actually be a wonderful spot for gathering and entertaining in the colder months. Enjoy a glass of red wine while you soak away the winter blues in your very own spa. And now stores like Amazon and Wayfair offer more affordable options for hot tubs and spas, like this Aquarest hot tub for 6. 

 

Out of all these winter upgrades, the Property Improvement Enterprise team wants to know which would you prefer on your own home?
