3 Quick And Easy Home Maintenance Tips To Get Your Home Summer Ready
October 10, 2024
It’s not “officially” summer according to The Farmer’s Almanac, we have just a few more weeks till June 21st. So why not take advantage of these longer days and cooler days to get your home summer ready? Here are 3 quick & easy home maintenance tips to help with that.
- Check The Deck: If you have a deck, you’re sure to spend some time on it this summer. Be sure it is ready for you and your guests. Check all the boards to make sure there are no loose boards or dangerous nails sticking out. It’s also a great time to see if it's time to be resealed. Pour some water on it, if it puddles you’re safe. If the water sinks into the wood it is time to call Spray ‘n Coat Painting and schedule an appointment to have it resealed.
- Clean The Screens: Screens collect a lot of dirt and grime and should be cleaned regularly, especially if you like to open your windows and let the fresh air in. There are several ways to clean them, but most experts suggest simply popping them out, and with a soft bristle brush, giving them a good old-fashioned scrubbing with a mild soap dish soap and water, then just rinse them off and air dry. Once they are dry, pop them back in.
- Clean The Grill: You can’t throw a BBQ with a dirty grill. And since you’re bound to be using it all summer long and summer is basically almost here, there is no time like the present to get that grill ready. Begin by giving the grill a thorough cleaning, and removing any debris and grease from last summer’s use. Inspect the gas or charcoal components for repairs or replacements, making sure there is proper ventilation for gas grills and stocking up on charcoal and lighter fluid for charcoal grills. Preheat the grill to burn off residue and ensure even heat distribution, and you'll be all set to enjoy tasty summer meals on your perfectly prepared grill.

Full exterior repaint brings new life to a Nampa neighborhood home At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we know that color can completely change how a home feels. For this Nampa homeowner, it was time to say goodbye to the dated tan and bring in something brighter and more cheerful. A full exterior repaint in a fresh pastel green paired with crisp ultra-pure white trim gave this home a lively new look while still feeling timeless in the neighborhood. The Scope Complete exterior repaint with repairs and prep This project involved a full repaint of the siding, trim, fascia, soffits, gutters, downspouts, and doors. Before painting, our crew filled holes along the right side of the home where an old cable had been removed, reinstalled the dryer vent, and backrolled the entire bottom edge of the home for smooth, even coverage. The System Durable coatings and careful prep for lasting results We applied pastel green as the body color, matching the soffits, front door, garage doors, and man doors to keep a clean, consistent look. The window trim, fascia, and gutters were finished in ultra-pure white for a bright, modern contrast. To ensure proper adhesion, we also primed the factory-finished gutters before painting.
A high-performance floor system for a large 2,400 sq. ft. shop We recently completed a floor coating project in Marsing for a homeowner with a spacious 2,400 sq. ft. shop. With a space this large, the homeowner needed a floor that could handle heavy use, resist staining, and still look professional. They reached out to Spray ’n Coat Painting for a better-than-epoxy solution that would be durable, easy to maintain, and visually appealing. Here’s What We Did Surface Prep and Grinding: We started by diamond grinding the entire shop floor to open up the concrete and create a proper surface for adhesion. Any imperfections were repaired to ensure the coating bonded securely. Base Coat and Decorative Flake: Once the surface was prepped, we applied our industrial-grade polyurea base coat, followed by a full broadcast of our popular Keystone chip blend. This decorative flake system not only adds traction but also provides a clean, modern look that complements a wide range of shop uses. Protective Topcoat: To finish, we installed a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. This protective layer seals everything in, delivering long-term resistance against abrasions, chemicals, and Idaho’s extreme temperature swings, while also making the floor much easier to clean.
A sleek cabinet makeover with soft-close upgrades and a professionally painted finish When this Meridian homeowner reached out, they had already attempted to repaint their kitchen cabinets on their own—but weren’t happy with how things were turning out. They knew they wanted a crisp, professional look and upgraded functionality. That’s where our cabinet refinishing team stepped in. We refinished all 16 cabinet doors and 14 drawer fronts in a rich charcoal hue, paired with new soft-close micro hinges to give the entire space a polished, high-end feel. The darker tone added contrast and elegance, creating the elevated finish they had originally envisioned. The Scope A full kitchen cabinet repaint with soft-close hardware installation This project included: 16 cabinet doors 14 drawer fronts Removal of old hinges and installation of new soft-close micro hinges All surfaces were cleaned, sanded, primed, and professionally sprayed using our factory-grade cabinet finish system for long-term durability and a beautiful satin sheen. The System A smooth, durable finish designed for everyday use We used a premium 2K waterborne polyurethane system from Gemini that cures harder and holds up better than traditional lacquer finishes. Unlike pre-cat lacquers or conversion varnishes that may yellow or crack over time, this cabinet-grade system resists chipping and stays looking new for years to come.
