Essential Home Maintenance Tips for Your Remodel
- How to Care for Your New Floors
Whether you’ve invested in hardwood, tile, or carpet, proper floor care is essential for longevity. Regular cleaning, quick spot treatments, and periodic deep cleans can help protect your floors. We also offer advice on the best cleaning products for different flooring materials to avoid damaging your investment.
- Maintaining Fresh Paint and Walls
Walls often take the most wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. To maintain your painted walls, be sure to dust regularly, use gentle cleaning solutions for stains, and touch up chipped areas promptly. For high-traffic areas, consider paint finishes that are more durable and easier to clean.
- Cleaning and Maintaining Windows & Doors
Your windows and doors should be inspected regularly to ensure they remain energy efficient and in good working order. Clean your windows with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to avoid scratching the glass. Check weather stripping around windows and doors annually to prevent air leaks and improve energy efficiency.
- Deck Care and Preservation
If you’ve added a deck to your home, it’s important to perform regular maintenance to protect it from weather damage. Seal your deck to prevent moisture damage, remove debris, and wash it thoroughly to avoid buildup of dirt and grime. In colder climates, be sure to clear snow off the deck to prevent moisture from seeping into the wood.
