Is your spring cleaning under way?!
Here are a couple of home maintenance tips to think about addressing now that the gorgeous spring weather is upon us!
Wash Your Windows
The one thing that it is easy to neglect (or purposely avoid!) is cleaning your windows. After all the recent wet weather they really are going to need it. If ladders are not your thing spend the extra few dollars to call in a professional window washing company to do those tricky second storey windows. There’s nothing like the sun shining through sparkling windows to lift your spirits!
Power Wash the Exterior
Power washing is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to clean off the dirt that’s built up on your home’s exterior after being exposed to the elements over the messy winter and spring months. Most surfaces from stucco, vinyl siding, wood and brick, to patios, porches and walkways can benefit from a good power washing and overall, give your home a quick facelift!

Help potential buyers imagine themselves in their new home
Now is an especially good time to sell your home in Calgary as the real estate market had a great start to the spring season. In March the average sold prices increased by 13% year-over-year and interest rates are still historically low.
Did you know that when you’re preparing your home for sale it’s critical to look at it through potential buyers’ eyes? It’s true. If you look at your home this way, you can potentially not only improve your property’s curb appeal, but you can potentially increase the sale price of your home. And, who wouldn’t want the highest possible price?!
By implementing effective strategies for cleaning, repairing, decluttering and neutralizing every room you’ll provide a crisp, clean slate to help potential buyers see themselves living in the space.
It doesn’t have to take a ton of cash to meet your objectives; a little organization and some elbow grease will do the trick.
Get started on your mission today. It’ll definitely be worth the effort! For more tips, contact Bill.

“A Leger survey conducted on behalf of RE/MAX Canada found lifestyle impact to be the top reason for renovating during the course of the pandemic, ahead of motives such as making essential renovations to accommodate life in lock-down (17 per cent), or to increase the value of the home with the intention of selling in the next one to three years (16 per cent).”
