Springtime is the best time to be outdoors, especially in Folsom and El Dorado Hills. From biking to hiking, and backyard BBQ’s, reclaiming the outdoors feels so good. Lucky for you, Designing Dreams offers a handy pro service that helps you complete your spring project list now, so you can get outdoors tomorrow.
1. Sneezing is a sure sign it’s spring in Sacramento. It’s also a sign to change your home’s air filters with a filter that captures dust and pollen particles.
2. A long winter of drying flannel sheets and heavy blankets can lead to lint build-up. Now is a good time to clean the lint trap and the exterior vent to reduce fire hazards.
3. It’s recommended you test the safety devices twice a year in your home and spring is a great time to do just that. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries. If your devices need replacement or are out of reach, consider hiring a handy pro to do the job for you.
4. Pruning trees and cutting back shrubs is probably not what you had in mind when you thought of getting outdoors, but this too must be done. Trimming back shrubs and branches from walkways, deck areas and away from the house will help keep pests and moss away.
5. Before inviting guests over, clean off decks and patios. Power wash to remove algae/grime and apply sealant if water does not bead on wood. Hiring a handy pro to help you accomplish this task is a time saver and an appointment can easily be scheduled online at myhandypro.
6. If you have an outdoor kitchen in Sacramento with natural stone, we recommend cleaning your stone countertops. Depending on the type of stone you have, you may also need to seal your stone to keep its natural beauty during the summer. This is an easy DIY project or can be done by a handy pro who knows which products to use on your type of natural stone.
7. The Sacramento sun and wind can cause fading, rips and damage to your window and patio door screens. Replace window screens early to take advantage of opening your windows on those cool mornings.
With great weather already in sight in Folsom and Roseville, it’s hard not to think about outdoor entertaining and boating on Folsom Lake. So start your spring home maintenance projects early to enjoy the great weather before our hot summer arrives.
