The Licata Group Donation Challenge

Last week, the Licata Group donated $3,000 to the Triad Guardian Alert Pendant Program. Licata Group has pledged to continue to donate this amount on a yearly basis provided business revenue will allow.

The Guardian Alert Pendant Program provides a device that will allow someone with mobility issues to contact 911 if they should fall, be unable to get to a phone, and be unable to recover. It can be a lifesaving device for those who are prone to falls. The program typically issues 30 devices a year to citizens in Orange County. The cost of providing those units falls around $6,000 currently.

The Licata Group is challenging other area businesses to donate to this program and collectively match their donation. If you would like to donate, there are several ways you can do that. You can send a check to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office – Triad, P.O. Box 445, Orange, Va. 22960, or you can make an electronic donation via this link to our donation page. https://ipn.paymentus.com/rotp/ocdn

Best Home Upgrades for the Fall

Fall is the season that carries the meaning of warm and cozy. Experts say it is the perfect time for renovating and falling in love with your home. To do so, it would be good to make a priority list of all the projects you want to tackle to make your home ideal. But, even if you want to find some of the best home upgrades for the fall to increase your home’s value and make it attractive to potential buyers, this article is suitable for you too. We have created a list of various projects to choose from, depending on your time and budget. The projects you are about to read range from minor maintenance to major upgrades. Either way, we are sure you will find something that suits your family’s needs and desires.

Which are the best home upgrades for the fall?

Once you decide to renovate, the thrill and excitement start. However, once you get down to business, you realize how many steps you need to take to make your wishes come true. It’s essential to bear in mind that it’s normal to start feeling anxious or pressured.

The key to successful remodeling is to be prepared and organized. Of course, you can make a list of priority tasks you want to do, but it would be good to make a step-by-step list to follow to ensure a smooth process. For example, if you plan on remodeling your living space, you should consider getting a portable storage unit to give you extra space where you need it. This way, you will remove all the things in the way while still being able to access them. 

Finally, let’s take a look at some of the best home upgrades for the fall.

  • Exterior accessories upgrade
  • Front door repainting or replacement
  • Painting the exterior
  • Power washing
  • Gutter cleaning
  • Roof repair
  • Deck refreshment
  • Switching to a thermostat
  • Heated flooring in the bathroom

Upgrade your exterior accessories

Your exterior is the first thing you or anyone sees. So, if you always think of that one light bulb not working above your front door, now is the time to replace it. Additionally, paying attention to your lighting when staging your home is a good idea if you are looking to sell your house.

Small, but still, one of the best home upgrades for the fall. Update your mailbox and home number.

House numbers and mailboxes are also small things worth upgrading. It would be best to have your exterior accessories matching in material and color. 

Replace or repaint your front door

Replacing the front door will give you peace of mind knowing you and your family are safe. It will also give your entrance much-needed flair. 

The easiest and more cost-efficient way is to repaint your front door. The best thing of all is that by doing so, you can make your home stand out in just one afternoon.

Painting your exterior is one of the best home upgrades for the fall

If your house could use a fresh coat of paint, go for it. This is especially important if you want to sell your house in the near future. Painting your home’s exterior will do wonders for curb appeal. So, before you call the experts from Zippy Shell Northern Virginia to help you relocate, pick up the paint rollers and put on some clothes you don’t mind staining!

Another thing you might want to consider if you are not a fan of painting is to install new siding. By doing so, you will boost your home’s curb appeal and durability.

Power wash the exterior

Your exterior might need a good and thorough power wash. Numerous materials, such as brick, concrete, wood, metal, vinyl, are surfaces that you can power wash. With that said, it would be best if you used less pressure on painted surfaces.

Clean your gutters

This is a step that often tends to be neglected. However, it shouldn’t, since your gutters work hard during fall and wintertime.

It’s best to clean your gutters before it gets too cold.

Snow and winter can be hard on gutters, so it would be best to have a routine inspection twice a year. Also, pay attention to any cracks or holes that need to be fixed before the cold weather arrives.

Repair your roof

Repairing or even replacing your roof during fall will make your home’s insulation better, and therefore lead to lower heating costs.

A functional roof gives anyone peace of mind.

Another advantage of repairing or replacing your roof is that it enhances curb appeal. Potential buyers will be more attracted to a home with a new and secured roof. On the other hand, buyers might try to negotiate a lower price if your roof needs repairs.

Refresh the deck

You can revive your deck by simply power-washing and hand-scrubbing it, which will make it seem like new. You should then go ahead and add a protective coat of semitransparent paint.

A deck is a place that gathers family and friends, don’t neglect it.

Switch to a thermostat

It might be time to switch to a thermostat and lower your energy bill during colder months. Digital thermostats can lower your bills to up to 180$ a year. The best thing is there’s a variety of models to choose from. For example, there are simple versions that only control heat and can be found for a price of 25$. Also, there are more complicated units that control humidifying and cooling too. 

Install heated flooring in your bathroom

Heated floors keep you and your feet warm, especially during colder months. We can agree that no one likes walking into a cold bathroom in the morning or stepping on a cold floor after a hot shower.

Heated floors are cozy and energy-efficient.

The takeaway from best home upgrades for the fall

The end of summer is just around the corner. Use this in-between time to take up some of the best home upgrades for the fall to make your home cozy and secure or give potential buyers what they want to see. Good luck!
