Entryway & Exterior
- Front door refresh: Tighten hinges, oil the squeaky door, and touch up paint or polish the handle for a good first impression.
- Outdoor lighting: Replace burned-out bulbs, clean fixtures, and consider adding motion-sensors or pathway lighting for evening arrivals.
- Weatherproofing: Check and replace worn weatherstripping to keep cold air out and guests warm.
- Gutter clean-out: Prevent last-minute leaks or icy patches around entrances.
- Handrail check: Make sure porch or stair rails are secure and safe.
Guest Comfort & Common Areas
- Furniture touch-ups: Tighten loose chair or table legs and check for wobbly pieces.
- Light fixtures: Clean dusty fixtures and replace old bulbs with warm, inviting lighting.
- Flooring checks: Hammer down or glue squeaky boards, secure loose tiles, or add non-slip pads under rugs.
- Wall repair: Patch nail holes or touch up scuffs with a small paint roller for a quick refresh.
- Outlet & switch check: Replace cracked or faded covers, and make sure outlets work (especially for charging guests’ devices).
Kitchen & Dining
- Cabinet tune-up: Tighten handles, adjust hinges, and add bumpers to prevent noisy slamming.
