The holiday season often brings a flurry of gatherings and celebrations. As families prepare to host friends and loved ones, ensuring the home is ready becomes a priority. Mr. Handyman® offers several tips to help homeowners get their spaces in order.
The first step recommended by Mr. Handyman® is a thorough cleaning of the entire house, starting from high places like ceiling fans and working down to floors and baseboards. "Whether you do this yourself or hire a professional, you’ll feel much better celebrating and entertaining guests in a freshly cleaned and sparkling home."
Addressing minor repairs such as squeaky floorboards or loose hinges can also make a significant difference during holiday gatherings. "Getting your home ready for holiday gatherings is the perfect time to cross minor repairs off your to-do list," they advise.
Kitchens and bathrooms are high-traffic areas during parties, so making necessary repairs in these rooms is crucial. The experts suggest adding holiday-themed decor such as soaps and linens for an extra touch.
Lighting plays an essential role in creating a festive atmosphere both inside and outside the home. Adding decorations like garlands, figurines, or candles can enhance the holiday mood significantly.
Ensuring plumbing and electrical systems are up to code is another critical aspect of preparation that should not be overlooked. "Make sure that both systems are ready for the big events by having them professionally inspected," Mr. Handyman® advises.
For those looking to refresh their home's exterior, pressure cleaning followed by a new coat of paint can create an inviting appearance for arriving guests.
Temperature control is vital during colder months, so checking heating systems before guests arrive ensures comfort throughout any event.
Adding seasonal decorations like wreaths or garlands on front doors contributes to setting a joyful tone right from the entrance.
Finally, creating cozy living spaces with ample seating encourages guests to relax and enjoy their stay longer.
For those overwhelmed with preparations or needing assistance with tasks big or small around their homes this season: "Our team of experienced pros can take tasks both big and small off your plate," says Mr. Handyman®, promising reliable service backed by their Neighborly Done Right Promise™.
