It’s March, when life seems to begin anew. Take stock of what indoor projects might need attention in your home. It won't be long before you'll want to spend as much time outside as possible.
1. Transparency … it’s a good thing!
Dirty windows are best left to the professionals. Get Dwell’s team of efficient, uniformed technicians combine state-of-the-art equipment and water purification technology to clean your windows, skylights, glass atriums, mirrors, screens, sills and window tracks. This process also offers weather resistance: rain won’t dull the shine. Using water-fed poles, the team will remove dust, dirt and grime from both the outside and inside of your windows, even in the hardest-to-reach spots (including windows as high as third floor). Clean windows make your home look great, and the mood-boosting sunshine is welcome after a long, cold winter. There are also more tangible benefits — extended window life, mold prevention and improved energy efficiency. 100% satisfaction guarantee. Reach out for a free window washing estimate

2. Banish winter dirt!
The downside to spring’s glorious sunshine is that it reveals years of caked-on dirt and grime, mold or algae on your home’s exterior. Pressure washing to the rescue! Our pros know the appropriate settings and cleaning products to use for your home. Using only eco-friendly chemicals, our team will also respect your landscaping.

Our precision skylight installation delivers beautiful results and unsurpassed quality. Request a skylight installation estimate
4. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
Have a long list of things that need doing/fixing around your home? Perhaps you need help rearranging your storage area? Our Chore Taskers offer a less expensive alternative to our handyman service. Assembly/disassembly tasks; moving heavy items and boxes within your home; hanging shelves, mirrors, gallery walls, artwork; packing/unpacking; changing light bulbs in hard-to-reach areas — basically anything that doesn’t require a skilled handyperson or carpenter. Chore Taskers show up on time; they’re professional, organized and get the job done no matter how large or small. Schedule a Chore Tasker today
5. Clean deep down
Very few homes are absolutely airtight. Air can pass through crawlspaces and basements and up through your entire house, allowing dirt and dust to enter through cracks and crevices. How to fix? Professional cleaners from Get Dwell work in teams of two, wearing backpack vacuums. They bring all the cleaning equipment needed to get your job done professionally. Using only organic products and cleaning top down, they’ll wipe, vacuum and mop any surface needed. Schedule a cleaning team today
6. Window well covers for the win!
Basement flooding is frequently caused by an overflowing gutter, downspout or roof valley above a window well. Window well covers can help keep your window wells free of debris and reduce the likeliness of basement flooding. And — BONUS! — they allow lots of sunshine in.
Shop your local, family-owned hardware store for a variety of window well covers.

7. Check out outside
Winter can be brutal on Chicago-area homes: Freeze/thaw cycles, sleet, snow, rain and brutal winds all wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Now is a great time to take a walk around the outside of your home and look for areas in need of refreshing or repairing:
- Check for broken fence posts and loose railings, particularly those at stairs
- Check the condition of the paint or stain on window sills, shutters, trim, decks, wooden stairs
- Check for rotting wood (window sills, decks, stairs)
Spring is the perfect time for painting, staining and repair projects because trees and shrubbery are just starting to grow and bloom; this lessens the possibility of damage to your landscaping and foliage. Contact us today to get started on that to-do list
8. Know what’s up (there)
If you wonder what’s going on up on your roof, our Illinois-licensed roofing repair contractors use drone technology to video map the roof, providing you with a bird’s-eye view of its condition. Based on your video map, the roofing experts will provide an assessment of areas that require attention, as well as an estimate for roof repair or roof replacement if needed.
9. Splish splash, look at my backsplash
Freshen up your kitchen or bathroom without a huge investment! A new backsplash can be a perfect refresh for the most-used rooms in your home. Our master tilers are seasoned pros with 20+ years of experience. They’ll consult with you on your options and make recommendations best suited to your space, then use the correct materials and methods for your project. Go ahead, make a splash.

10. Always on
Ever worry about losing power? A backup generator provides peace of mind. It operates on natural gas, switching on when your electricity goes out due to utility company failures or Nature’s fury. Choose from backup power for your entire house or just the most crucial systems, including sump pump, heat/air conditioning, refrigerator/freezer, lighting and WiFi.
