UpKeep Your Home This Spring

17Apr2024

As the days grow longer and warmer, now is the time invest in the upkeep of your home! From freshening up the exterior to tackling those indoor projects, here is your guide to upkeep your home for the season.

Gutter Cleaning: Clearing the Path for Spring Showers: Although spring excites us for the warmer months, it also brings us April showers. Be sure your home is ready to take on the rain by clearing out debris from your gutters. Leaves, twigs, and more can accumulate over the winter months, which can cause clogging and potential roof damage. Your home will thank you!
Power and Window Washing: Revitalize Your Home’s Exterior: After a long winter, your home’s exterior may need some TLC. Say goodbye to dirt, grime, and mildew with a power washing session. From the siding to the front and back decks, give your home longevity by removing build-up and dirt. Ensure you also get your front and back decks to sit back, relax, and enjoy the warmer months.
Window Washing: Letting the Light In: There is nothing like sparkling clean windows to welcome the sunshine into your home. With a thorough window washing, you can say goodbye to the layer of dirt and residue that builds up over time. This will not only improve your home’s appearance but also the natural light that enters through your windows.
Cooling Units: Preparing for the Heat: The hot summer days arrive before we know it. Spring is the perfect time to prepare and inspect your cooling units for the season ahead. This includes changing filters, cleaning vents, and ensuring everything is properly working. By taking care of any maintenance early on, you will avoid potential breakdowns when temperatures rise.
Spring Cleaning: Renewing Your Indoor Spaces: Last but certainly not least, embrace the tradition of spring cleaning. It is important to tackle those overlooked areas, from decluttering your closet to deep cleaning those neglected corners. This creates a fresh, inviting home setting the new season’s tone.

Doing all this home maintenance alone may seem overwhelming, which us why we created UpKeep. UpKeep provides an array of home maintenance services for a year-round safe and clean home. You can always visit our website to see our services and packages. Happy Spring!

5 Ways to Add Value to Your Kitchen Renovation

12Mar2024

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home. Whether it’s preparing a meal together, sharing stories over a cup of coffee, or hosting gatherings with loved ones, the kitchen plays a central role in fostering warmth, nourishment, and togetherness within a household.

Our team at McDonald Contracting help you renovate your kitchen to meet your desires while also keeping in mind energy efficiency and added home value.

Here are some ways how!

LED Lighting: Switching to energy-efficient LED bulbs significantly reduces electricity usage and lasts longer.
Energy-Efficient Appliances: Appliances with high energy efficiency ratings cut electricity usage and long-term utility expenses.
Open Concept Look: An open concept kitchen refers to a layout where the kitchen is not enclosed by walls, but rather integrated with other living spaces such as the dining area or the living room.
Kitchen Island: A kitchen island can be a valuable addition to your kitchen, providing extra workspace, storage, and seating, while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the space.
Big Windows: Windows are an excellent way to bring natural light into your kitchen. Consider placing them strategically to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the day and enhance the ambiance of your kitchen.
