Here are four Quick Tips for Prepping a Home for Sale

Super clean. Make the house shine from top to bottom. Don’t forget about cleaning the carpet, draperies, and windows, too.
Clear the clutter and unload some furniture. Remove unnecessary items from countertops, bathtubs, and shower stalls—areas that often attract the most clutter. Keep only the necessities. A decluttered home helps buyers mentally “move in” with their own things. You may need to rearrange or remove some furniture. Pieces that crowd a space can make it look smaller than it really is.
Prep you landscaping. Check gutters and roof for dry rot and moss, and ensure they are clean. Examine all plants: Prune bushes and trees, make sure not plants are blocking windows, remove any dead plants, and keep the lawn freshly mowed.
Add nice touches. Coordinate towels in the bathroom in one or two colors only. Keep accessories restricted to groups of one, three, or five items. Make sure all lights are on for showings, and set an inviting mood. Have soft background music turned on (such as light FM music).

Summer Weather Concerns

We all know that hurricane winds can cause tremendous property loss, but what you may not know is that a large amount of the damage is actually caused by wind-borne debris ( such as tree limbs, signs, roof tiles, etc.) and not the wind itself. debris penetrates windows and doors, allowing the wind to enter a home. This creates forces that the structure of the house is not designed to withstand, often lifting the roof or pushing out the walls and causing them to fail. Even if the roof and walls remain intact, the rain and water damage from a broken window can be severe, leaving a home uninhabitable and resulting in a total loss of its contents.

Protecting Your Property And Yourself
Impact-resistant windows and doors that meet the code requirements for hurricane-force winds and flying debris are you best protection.
We offer PGT and WINGUARD impact-resistant windows and doors.

Not only do these windows and doors offer storm protection, but also offer superior energy efficiency benefits to homeowners, helping reduce energy bills. The windows and doors also reduce noise infiltration from the exterior of the home along with solar penetration. As an added benefit, many insurance companies also offer a discount when impact resistant windows are used in construction.
