Top 10 February Home Tips

1. Give your walls a second act

Refresh tired walls with a fresh coat of paint. Interior painting brightens winter spaces, protects high-traffic areas and updates your look without the disruption of a major renovation—boosting comfort now and resale appeal later. Ready for a fresh coat? Start your painting project with Get Dwell

2. Fix the cracks before they spread

Dry winter air can cause interior walls, trim work and ceilings to develop cracks and gaps as materials expand and contract with fluctuating humidity levels. Repairing now improves the look of walls and ceilings, and better prepares those surfaces for future seasonal issues. Let’s fix those walls

3. Clean smarter. Shop local.

Stock up on basic cleaning supplies now and keep essentials on hand for winter and early spring. Stop into your local family-owned hardware store for quality products and experienced, trusted advice. They can show you all the products that their customers recommend and use in their own homes.

4. Got junk? We’ve got you

Decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Our junk hauling service clears unwanted items quickly, safely and responsibly—no trips, no stress. From garages to basements, we’ll pick up the stuff you don’t want and make room for what you do. Say goodbye to clutter

5. Make a splash with a new backsplash

Protect your walls while upgrading your kitchen, bath, wet bar or laundry room with color, texture and personality. A backsplash is a quick, high-impact update that when done right adds value and style. Start your backsplash project

6. Add safety where it matters most

Grab bars and railings provide extra support in bathrooms, stairways and entries, reducing fall risk and improving everyday confidence for all ages. Make your home safer today—schedule a handyman to handle installation.

7. Keep Fido in, style intact

If store-bought pet gates aren’t doing the job, a custom indoor dog gate may be the perfect solution. A well-designed gate keeps your furry companions safely contained while protecting the rest of your home when you’re busy or away. It’s especially helpful for pets prone to chewing or anxiety-related mischief. We build strong, attractive wooden dog gates that can be custom sized and finished to match your home’s details, making them both functional and good looking. Contact us to get your dog gate project started.

8. Let off some steam!

Bring one of the hottest upgrades home with a sauna. From stress relief and muscle recovery to better sleep and mental clarity, saunas deliver serious wellness benefits and make winter a whole lot more tolerable. Contact us to install a sauna kit or create a custom sauna designed just for you.

9. Don’t let lint slow you down

Cleaning dryer vents shortens drying time, saves energy and keeps your home safer by reducing the risk of fires caused by lint buildup. Purchase dryer vent cleaning tools at your local family-owned hardware store or schedule a professional service to remove lint as a one-time cleaning. Safest option: sign up for Get Dwell’s recurring maintenance plan so you can always be sure your dryer vents are being maintained properly.

10. Eliminate exhausting mistakes

If you’re replacing a noisy, nerve-rattling bathroom fan or want one that provides better exhaust, make sure that it’s whisper-quiet and properly vented to the outside. Proper ventilation protects you from mold and poor air quality caused by moisture buildup. These problems will show up on a home inspection when refinancing or selling.
