Spring Forward with Classic!
Spring officially starts in 6 days- are you ready?! While I'm certain the majority of us are looking forward to the spring season, longer days, sunshine, and warmer temperatures, the spring "thaw" can sometimes uncover the harsh damages resulting from Mother Nature's winter months. Upon closer inspection, sometimes your home is left with peeling or deteriorated paint, cracks, rotting wood, loose or crumbling caulk, and possible hairline cracks. While spring is often known for the annual "Spring Cleaning" on the interior of your home, it's most important to remember not to neglect the exterior of your home.
Tips to freshen up the exterior of your home:
1. Apply a fresh coat of paint
2. Re-Stain Deck
3. Freshen up Trim
4. Plant shurbs or a new flower bed to brighten up colors
5. Arrange new landscaping
6. Powerwash winter grime away

How to thaw out your home and prepare your home for Spring?
Thaw Out with Classic!
Bears certainly have the right idea in the winter time-HIBERNATION!! Not sure about you, but we feel as though we've been in hibernation too long. Days are getting longer, the sun is shining more often, temperatures are slowly rising and before you know it spring will be here in full bloom! Wake up and stretch your legs, its time to get back in motion!
Maybe its the arrival of fresh air, or the annual spring cleaning efforts; but spring is the most popular time to redecorate a room. Here are some easy, inexpensive tips to help freshen any room:
- Bring Light INTO the room- clean window treatments and windows to allow for maximum light
- Pair Textures and Fabrics with Accent Colors to Bring a Room Back to Life
- Create a new focus for your room- this could be a new accent piece, a new color (believe it or not PINK is the hot color for 2011!)
- Freshen up trim, woodwork, crown moldings, and ceilings with a clean fresh coat of paint.
*Spring is also the perfect time to take advantage of Classic's Customer One Program. Every year we provide you with a free inspection of the exterior or interior of your home to ensure the longevity of your paint job. Examples of what we'll look for:
- Check all windows and doors
- Determine if your home needs washed and decrease the growth of mildew
- Inspect all painted surfaces for rotten or damaged wood
- Inspect for incidental peeling, cracking, or caulk separation
- Inspect railings and fence
- Check all decks and porch floors
