We are finally seeing some nice weather changes up ahead. Warmer temps bring the blooming of flowers and the urge to refresh our surroundings.
Being proactive now can help save you time and money in the future. Completing a clean-out & organization every 6 months can make all the difference to your wellbeing. Therefore, Spring & Fall are the typical and perfect time to get started.
Landscaping:
- Fertilize and seed where needed and think about installing a sprinkler system for easier maintenance.
- Seasonal plants and shrubs should be planted after the last frost of the winter. Although Mother Nature likes to throw curveballs our way, the mid-to-end of March is usually a safe bet.
- Replace or replenish flower beds with mulch or pine straw and prune those bushes ready for their rapid growth.
- Add a fresh “Welcome” sign and some updated LED or SOLAR walkway lights to finish the newly updated look.
Exterior of the Home:
- Powerwash siding & walkways. It will refresh the outside of your home and set it up for welcoming the summer.
- Clean your gutters and down spurts from any lingering Fall leaves and debris.
- Consider having your roof and attic areas inspected for any damage from the harsh winter weather.
- Do a thorough walk-round of the homes exterior to check for any issues that may have been caused during the cold season.
- Inspect your decks and patios for any rotting wood or mold and replace your outside furniture as needed.
Interior of the Home:
- Inspect and change as needed the batteries of smoke & carbon dioxide detectors.
- Change air filters regularly. Spring brings with it pollen and allergens galore!
- Inspect and clean your windows inside and out.
- Clean the dust and accumulation from ceiling fans that will likely have built-up with lack of use.
- Consider adding some fresh coats of paint to certain rooms to lighten them up.
- Clean & organize your pantry and refrigerator.
- Give your garage or outside storage some love with a good clear out.
Our repairs & maintenance team are available to knock-out many of these tasks before they become a bigger problem, preventing stress or worry on your part. Lastly, consider our disinfecting service to get your home sanitized with ease.

One of the newest and most cost-efficient trends is converting every light in your home or business to LED lightbulbs.
5 years ago, Energy Efficient bulbs were all the rage. They were mostly inexpensive, and boasted a longevity of 7+ years.
These days, consumers have realized that these “energy efficient” bulbs don’t last as long as they stated, and haven’t really made an impact on their electrical savings.
This is where LED bulbs come in. Making this small but beneficial change can really make an impact financially.
LEDs are extremely energy efficient and consume up to 90% less power than incandescent bulbs.
They also last for a much greater duration.
The expected lifetime of different lightbulbs:
| Incandescent Bulbs |
Between 750 & 2,000 Hours |
| Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Bulbs |
Between 6,000 & 10,000 Hours |
| LED Bulbs |
Between 20,000 & 50,000 Hours |
Pros:
- Dramatic decrease in power costs. Over time you’ll really start to see a huge savings.
- Maintenance and replacement costs are significantly lower, due to their amazingly long lifespan.
- New color options; instead of only the glaring bright white of past LEDs.
Cons:
- Definitely the upfront cost. Spending a large amount at first can seem daunting.
- Color limitations. Although LEDs do now have more color options, they often emit a more blueish, brighter light.
Picking the right LED bulb:
LED bulbs are measured in Lumens, unlike incandescent bulbs which use Watts. The higher the lumen range, the brighter the light. So for a brighter light, look for the higher lumens. For instance; to replace a 125 watt incandescent bulb, choose a LED with 2600 lumens.
Also take into consideration the type of bulb you need. LEDs can come in a wide variety of unfamiliar shapes.
Recently, one of our multi-family community partners made the change over to all LED lightbulbs. Camden Properties LLC assessed the upfront costs as well as the projected savings over a 5-year span, and decided to make the move. Now their residents are already seeing huge savings on their electricity bills!
Whether you are in the Multi-Family industry, Hotel Management or just a homeowner looking to save money, LED bulbs are the way to go!
