3 Ideas For Spring Home Improvement Projects In Atlanta, GA

Henry Rollins said, “In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.” Spring brings out the desire to swing open and roll up your sleeves to get your house looking its best.

Here are 3 home improvement tips for spring in Atlanta to give your home a fresh start. 

1. Perform A Spring Checkup For Energy Efficiency And Safety

Spring is the perfect time to check that all of your home’s systems are working properly for the summer. Homeowners in Atlanta should inspect these things every spring:

• HVAC System. Run your air conditioning system to make sure it’s ready for the coming summer heat. Increase your HVAC system’s energy efficiency by changing your furnace and air conditioning filters. Many HVAC companies offer this service for a small fee.
• Smoke Detectors. Keep your loved ones safe by testing your carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. Put new batteries in your alarms each spring and fall.
• Caulking and Windows. Check the caulking around doors, windows, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures for leaks or cracks. Fix the caulking as you go. Install window treatments, such as plantation shutters, to increase your window’s energy efficiency. Open each window to make sure that they can freely move.

2. Give Your House A Deep Clean So That It Shines

The best way to make your house shine is with a deep clean. First, declutter each room to open up the area. After that, clean areas you don’t wipe down every week such as kitchen and bathroom walls, baseboards, floors, and ceiling fans. Wipe your fixtures to give them a shine. Move your furniture to clean and vacuum under and behind it and then vacuum your furniture.

Let in more light by cleaning your windows. Scrub your windows and screens to remove smudges and dust. Clean your window treatments including shutters, draperies, and shades. You can give your blinds a new look with an ultrasonic cleaning treatment.

3. Redecorate Your Rooms For A Fresh Look

After you’ve cleaned your house, it’s time for the fun part: redecorating.

The simplest way to redecorate your rooms is to find new ways to use things you already have. You can give your room a whole new look by rearranging the furniture. You can also shop your house. This means you switch out the items you already own between rooms. Bring in more color with fresh paint, bright accent pillows, and plants.
