Temperatures are cooling, and if you haven’t started preparing for winter around your home, now is the time! Some items that need to be considered as the seasons change are removing your garden hoses from hose bibs, closing crawl space vents, cleaning out your gutters, and scheduling your irrigation system to be winterized.

Don’t neglect interior home maintenance this spring. If you haven’t already, make sure you open up your crawl space vents. In addition, now is a great time to change filters in your furnace and to check your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. If you haven’t replaced the batteries in a while, now is a great time to do that.

Happy Easter to you all! He is risen!

Another home maintenance item that you will want to make sure to do outside is checking your sprinkler system for leaky valves, exposed lines, and improperly working sprinkler heads. It is a good idea to check your outdoor faucets as well, especially if they were left on through the winter.

If you haven't mowed your lawn yet, now is also a great time to check on your lawn equipment to make sure it is working properly before your grass gets too long!

Spring is here, which means it is a great time to do some home maintenance and prepare for warmer weather!

One important item, especially with the spring rain, is to clean out your gutters and check for any damage. When cleaning out your gutters, we always recommend the 4-to-1 rule. For every four feet of height you have to climb on your ladder, move the base one foot away from the wall. This ensures safety while using a ladder.

A modern and simple space was the goal of the owner of this custom home. Clean lines and modern details can be seen throughout, including here in the laundry and mudroom. This space brings together beauty and functionality.

Wallpaper is a great way to add color or texture to any space. The home featured here has wallpaper in a few spaces throughout the home, including this laundry room and bathroom.

Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to all of the courageous men and women who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

Functionality is an important factor when designing a custom home. This powder bathroom has a door that goes directly to the backyard where a pool is, allowing individuals to come inside and use the restroom without dripping water throughout the home.
