It’s April – time to break out that spring checklist and get ready for warm weather, fresh air and outdoor fun!  If you take things one step at a time your chores will be done before you know and it will be time to chill and enjoy.

Spring Checklist

When cleaning the rooms of your house start at the top and work your way down.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Painting – either interior, exterior or both – is not only uplifting for the spirit, but protects the value of your home.  It is a great way to update without the high cost and inconvenience of remodeling.  You can take your home from drab to fab! Most painting can be completed within a 1-3 week period (depending on the size and age of your house and the prep work needed) and you don’t have to move out of your house!  Of course, weather can affect the time it takes to complete an exterior paint project.  ColaTownPainting is ready to help you with all your painting needs.
