		<description><![CDATA[Fall is a great time to undertake a remodeling project. Our top 5 remodeling projects for fall, including many affordable ideas.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So Labor Day has come and gone. Next thing you know, your mother-in-law will be calling asking about the holiday plans! Fall is a great time to undertake a remodeling project: the kids are back in school and the weather is more moderate for larger remodeling projects than summer or winter.</p>
<p>Here are Constructive Builders&#8217; Top 5 Remodeling Projects for fall:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Finish the basement.</strong> The whole family is about to be cooped up together and when this happens more room makes  for a happier home. Get that basement finished up so you have another place to put: in-laws, rowdy kids, football watchers, holiday visitors, the drum set your kids get for x-mas, etc.</li>
<li><strong>Updgrade the kitchen. </strong>Kitchen remodels have some of the best return on investment, and it&#8217;s where your family spends the most of time, especially as the days turn shorter and the holiday  come around. And it doesn&#8217;t have to cost a fortune. Depending on what you have in place, there are creative ways to remodel without gutting the entire space.</li>
<li><strong>Fireplace renovations. </strong>Have an ugly hearth or a generic fireplace with no real character? Fall is a great time to spend a little bit to turn your fireplace in to a showpiece in your home. Tiling around the fireplace, adding a new custom wood mantle, or replacing the hearth can really jazz up this home feature, and the renovation will look great for Christmas stockings.</li>
<li><strong>Entertainment rooms. </strong><em>Are you ready for some football?</em> Get your entertainment area in order this fall, whether it&#8217;s adding a room in the basement, adding built-ins for a new entertainment center or adding on to your house so that you have a dedicated area for TV and movie-viewing. This is a must-have room for winter sports, movie nights, kids sleepovers and more.  Top features to consider: theater seating, acoustics, big screens, and electrical component containment.</li>
<li><strong>Remodel the guest bathroom. </strong>Before you have holiday company, spruce up the guest bathroom. Because a powder room doesn&#8217;t usually have as many fixtures as a master bath,  this kind of remodel can be affordable. And, because all your guests see this room, you get a lot of  &#8220;wow&#8221; power for your investment. A few ideas:  an awesome sink with a custom faucet to add class and visual interest, new tile for floors and walls, new sink and toilet fixtures to update to the current styles, combining low-cost paint and wallpaper with modern lighting and new mirrors.</li>
</ol>
<p>From small to large, remodeling in the fall will result in new spaces that you&#8217;ll love come winter. Don&#8217;t forget to <a title="Contact Constructive Builders" href="http://www.constructivebuilders.com/about/contact-us/">contact us </a>with any questions!</p>
