I N S I D E T H I S I S S U E :
1. Remove glass from light fixtures and take out any little critters that may have found a home over the winter. Be sure to use glass cleaner on the panes before replacing them in your fixtures. 2. Clean your mailbox. If it hasn’t weathered well over the winter, it’s probably time to replace it. 3. Clean and polish, if necessary, your front door’s hardware. Replace it as well if necessary. 4. Check your house numbers. Are they still in good shape and visible from the street? If not, replace them. 5. Wash down your front door and garage door. If you find that the previous summer’s sun has faded the paint, consider repainting. (Your garage door should be painted a color that blends in with the brick or vinyl siding on your home.) Before painting, check with the paint manufacturer to see what the optimal outdoor temperature should be. You don’t want to paint when it’s still too cold outside. 6. Wash the windows. If this isn’t your strong suit, hire a professional. 7. Hose down the porch and driveway to remove any excess salt left over from de-icing. 8. Sweep the porch, driveway and patio to get rid of any rogue leaves etc. left over from the fall. 9. Check your porch, driveway, and patio for any cracking or lifting of patio stones that may have taken place during a deep freeze.
18 Ways to Prep Your Home’s Exterior for the Spring Market
10. Check your roof to make sure no shingles are missing or were damaged during the winter. 11. Remove debris from your gutters and drain spouts. 12. Rake the lawn. However, before doing that it’s very important to check with your local garden center first to be sure it’s not too early. If raked too soon before the ground thoroughly dries, you could potentially damage your lawn. 13. Remove winter displays from your urns. For a burst of color, plant spring flowers as soon as weather permits. 14. Tidy up your gardens in preparation for planting season. 15. Organize the garage. Put away shovels, snow blowers, toboggans, and any other items that made their way into your garage over the winter. 16. If you don’t use your barbeque year round, it’s time to bring it out. If it’s a built-in unit that will be staying with the house, be sure to clean the grills and wash down the lid. If you have a cover for it, replace it if it’s worn. 17. Remove the cover from your swimming pool and clean your pool as soon as your pool service company advises that it’s OK to do so. 18. Bring out your patio furniture and set it up. Although it may be too cold to sit outside just yet, you want potential buyers to see your outdoor living space’s potential.
18 Featuredneighborhood
Uptown. Sunset Magazine calls Uptown “one of Denver’s hippest 'hoods, with lively new restaurants, chic shops and a cheery, progressive vibe.” A mix of Victorian and Queen Anne homes blend with modern high-rise apartments and lofts built along tree-lined boulevards to make up Denver’s oldest residential neighborhood. It’s also where you’ll find Denver’s largest green space, City Park. The tree-covered park is home to the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and has miles of jogging and biking paths, offering spectacular panoramic views of more than 120 miles of snowcapped peaks. Another highlight for residents and visitors alike is Restaurant Row, the stretch of 17th Avenue running from Broad-way to City Park that is lined with cafes, bistros, taco bars, fine dining establishments, upscale restaurants and a number of popular bars and clubs – almost all with outdoor patios.
