When you scroll through Pinterest-perfect kitchens or magazine-worthy remodels, it’s easy to forget the process behind the polish. The truth is, home remodeling is rarely instant — but it’s always worth it.

Take this kitchen we're currently transforming for a client. At first glance, it might just look like a space in mid-chaos: tools on the counter, paint lines in progress, cabinet doors off their hinges. But every little detail in this photo tells a story of momentum — the kind that builds quietly with each task completed.

Remodeling Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

Behind every “after” shot is a series of carefully planned and executed steps:

• Measuring and leveling.

• Priming and painting.

• Installing hardware, replacing trim, testing lighting layouts.
  These steps aren’t glamorous — but they’re essential. Each one lays the foundation for the next, and skipping them would compromise the final result.

Why the Middle Matters

In this project, the flooring has been replaced, repainted cabinetry in a bold and beautiful green, and prepped for custom touches throughout. It’s not finished yet — but it’s on its way. And that’s the magic of remodeling: you get to witness the evolution of a space becoming something truly special.

Trust the Process

Whether you're painting a single room or gutting an entire kitchen, trust the small wins. The progress you can’t always see — like better durability, tighter corners, or straighter seams — makes all the difference in the finished product.

So if you’re in the middle of a remodel and starting to feel impatient, remember this: progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like painter’s tape, cabinet screws, and sawdust. But in the end, it turns into something beautiful.

There’s something magical about summer evenings in North Idaho — the golden light, the scent of pine in the air, and the warmth that lingers long after sunset. It’s the perfect time to enjoy your backyard. And what better way to do that than from the shade and comfort of your very own gazebo?

At Mr. Clean Fix, we’ve been installing more gazebos than ever lately — and for good reason. These backyard beauties add function, style, and a whole new level of livability to your outdoor space.

Why Homeowners Love Gazebos

Gazebos aren’t just about looks — they offer serious everyday value:

• 🛋️ Comfortable outdoor living – Shielded from sun and light rain, you can enjoy your deck or patio no matter the weather.

• 🦟 Built-in protection – Many models, like the one we’re building soon, come with mosquito netting and curtains for pest-free relaxation.

• 🧑‍🍳 Perfect for entertaining – Whether it’s a BBQ, birthday, or evening glass of wine, gazebos provide a natural gathering space.

• 💡 Add lighting, fans, and decor – Turn your gazebo into an extension of your home, with string lights, ceiling fans, and cozy furniture.

One We’re Excited to Build 🔨

We’re about to install the Kozyard Apollo 12x16 hardtop gazebo for a client — a wood-look aluminum frame with a galvanized steel roof and full mosquito netting. It’s a serious upgrade in both durability and design. This model provides shade, airflow, and year-round usability — plus, it just looks amazing.

Thinking About Adding One?

If you’ve been dreaming of turning your backyard into a summer sanctuary, now’s the time. We’ll handle the entire install process, including anchoring and any needed prep work. All you have to do is pick the spot, pick your furniture, and start enjoying it.

Let’s make your outdoor space the place to be this summer.

Remodeling a home is an exciting journey. Fresh paint, new flooring, upgraded fixtures—it’s a transformation that breathes life into a space. But sometimes, what lies beneath those old finishes can bring unexpected challenges. At Mr. Clean Fix, we know that behind every wall or under every floorboard could be a surprise waiting to be discovered.

The Guest Bath Surprise: A Real-Life Example

During a recent project, we were hired to handle painting and a few other upgrades in a client’s home. Everything was running smoothly—until the flooring crew arrived and lifted up the old materials in the guest bathroom. What they uncovered was enough to stop the job in its tracks: mold and significant wood rot beneath the subfloor.

Instead of passing the problem back to the homeowner or delaying the project, they turned to us. Could we help? Absolutely.

Why These Issues Happen

Water damage and mold are some of the most common hidden problems uncovered during remodeling. Bathrooms, in particular, are high-moisture areas, and over time, even a small leak can cause serious structural issues:

• Undetected Leaks behind toilets, sinks, or showers

• Improper Ventilation leading to excess humidity

• Failed Seals or Caulking allowing water to seep into subfloors and walls

These issues often go unnoticed until demolition begins—and by then, the damage is done.

Going the Extra Mile

In this case, time was of the essence. The flooring company couldn't move forward until the subfloor was repaired and the mold removed. Our team rolled up their sleeves and worked late into the evening to tear out the damaged material, treat the mold, and replace the rotted wood. We got it done quickly and correctly, allowing the flooring installers to continue their work the next day.

Why It Matters

Homeowners often budget and plan for surface-level changes. But what really makes a remodel successful is how you handle the unexpected. At Mr. Clean Fix, we pride ourselves not just on craftsmanship—but on adaptability, professionalism, and keeping the project moving forward, no matter what surprises arise.

Be Prepared for the Unexpected

If you're considering a remodel, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Budget for contingencies—a little extra padding can go a long way.

• Hire a contractor who can adapt—when surprises come up, you need a team that can pivot quickly and safely.

• Trust the process—some setbacks are actually opportunities to fix long-ignored issues and ensure your home is safer and more durable.

Remodeling might come with a few bumps in the road, but with the right team on your side, you can navigate any surprise with confidence.

Part of our Summer Prep Series

When we stopped by a home recently to give a quote for a basic interior paint job, we expected to talk wall colors, prep work, and maybe a timeline for painting a couple of rooms. What actually happened was something we love even more: the homeowners learned just how many services we offer — and suddenly, we were looking at a full-house refresh.

It started with paint.
But once we walked the space together and they started listing other things on their to-do list — replacing outdated fixtures, upgrading the toilets, modernizing trim, painting cabinets — it all made sense to bundle it up. One crew. One schedule. One trusted company.

Now, we’re not just doing interior painting — we’re:

• Painting their kitchen cabinets for a fresh, modern look

• Swapping every standard outlet to sleek dimmer switches

• Installing new light fixtures in nearly every room

• Replacing the old toilets with more efficient models

• Updating the mirrors and vanities

• Refreshing all baseboards, interior doors, and trim

The best part? We were able to create a plan that fits their timeline and budget — without the stress of managing multiple contractors.

Why This Matters

Home improvement doesn’t have to happen one tiny job at a time — especially when you find a crew that can do it all. At Mr. Clean Fix, we pride ourselves on being that kind of team. Whether you're starting with a small idea or dreaming big from day one, we’re ready to help turn your space into something that feels brand new.

Sometimes, a simple paint job is just the beginning.

When it comes to home improvement, few projects make as big of an impact as a fresh coat of exterior paint. But did you know that beyond boosting curb appeal, the right paint job can also extend the life of your siding, fend off the elements, and even increase property value?

At Mr. Clean Fix, we just wrapped up a stunning exterior transformation—take a look at the before-and-after photos to see how dramatic a change paint can bring!

Why Exterior Paint Matters More Than You Think

1. It’s Your Home’s First Impression
Whether you’re welcoming guests or putting your home on the market, exterior paint is the first thing people notice. A well-chosen color scheme says “well-maintained” and “inviting” before anyone even steps inside.

2. Paint = Protection
Quality paint acts as a barrier against rain, UV rays, mold, and pests. Especially in the Northwest, where weather can shift fast, sealing your exterior surfaces is essential.

3. Add Value Instantly
According to real estate pros, a fresh exterior paint job can offer over 50% ROI—and in some cases, raise your home’s selling price by thousands.

4. Personalize Your Space
Your home should reflect you. Whether you’re going bold with contrast trim or keeping it classic with earthy tones, our pros at Mr. Clean Fix can help bring your vision to life.

2025 Color Trends We're Loving This Summer

• Warm Neutrals (think sandy tans and sage greens)

• Bold Trim Accents like charcoal, black, or navy

• Natural Earthy Palettes that blend seamlessly with landscaping

When to Paint: Summer is Prime Time

Longer daylight hours and dry conditions make summer the ideal season to schedule your paint project. But slots fill up fast—so don’t wait to get on the calendar!

When it comes to prepping your home for summer, it's not just about sprucing up your yard or re-staining the deck — it’s also the perfect time to tackle upgrades that let in more natural light and improve efficiency. That’s why this part of our Summer Prep Series focuses on one of our favorite recent projects: installing new windows and slider doors!

Let the Light In — And the Energy Savings Too

Upgrading to large-format windows and sliding glass doors doesn’t just transform the look of your home — it can also dramatically improve airflow, reduce energy costs, and connect your indoor and outdoor spaces for true summer living. We’ve been busy lately installing beautiful 8-foot sliders and new windows that open up lake views, patios, and sunlit living rooms for our clients.

Why Summer Is the Right Time for This Project

• Warmer weather means easier installs — no snow, frozen ground, or storm delays.

• You can enjoy the results immediately, opening up your home for BBQs, family gatherings, and peaceful evening breezes.

• It’s a smart move before fall and winter, helping insulate your home better before temps drop again.

Modern Styles, Smooth Function

From sleek black-framed sliders to full-wall windows, we can help you choose designs that match your home's style — whether you're going for a modern upgrade, rustic lakehouse charm, or energy-efficient elegance. Our installs are always built to last and finished cleanly for long-term satisfaction.

Thinking About New Windows or Doors?

If you’ve got old sliders that stick or foggy windows that kill the view, now is the time to consider a fresh install. Whether it’s a full wall of glass or a single energy-efficient window, Mr. Clean Fix has you covered.

🛠️ We’ll guide you through the process, handle the install, and leave your space better than we found it — inside and out.

Welcome back to our Summer Prep Series! After exploring decks and sheds, it’s time to shine a light—literally—on a simple upgrade that makes a huge impact: outdoor lighting. Whether you're illuminating your deck for evening BBQs, adding charm around a new gazebo, or highlighting your custom shed, lighting is the finishing touch that brings it all together.

Why Outdoor Lighting Matters

• Ambiance – Create a cozy, magical atmosphere for evening hangouts.

• Safety – Light walkways, stairs, and entry points to prevent accidents.

• Security – Deter unwanted visitors with motion-activated or dusk-to-dawn lights.

• Extended Use – Enjoy your backyard long after the sun goes down.

Stylish Lighting Ideas for Every Feature

• Decks: Recessed step lights, post cap lights, or string lights under railings.

• Gazebos: Hanging lanterns, chandeliers, or wrapped string lights for charm.

• Sheds: Sconce lights or motion-sensor lighting for both style and function.

• Garden Paths: Solar path markers or low-voltage LED stakes.

Trending Features

• Smart lighting – Control your setup from your phone or with voice assistants.

• Warm white LED bulbs – Energy-efficient and cozy.

• Integrated lighting systems – Built right into your new deck, shed, or pergola.

Let Mr. Clean Fix Help

Next in our Summer Prep Series: Outdoor Lighting Upgrades — turning your yard into a nighttime wonderland while adding safety and security.

Welcome back to our Summer Prep Series! This week, we’re taking your outdoor space to the next level with a fan-favorite: the gazebo. Whether you’re craving shade, charm, or a cozy place to gather, a gazebo can transform your backyard into a destination.

Why Add a Gazebo?

Next up in our Summer Prep Series—let’s talk decks. Whether you're working with a well-loved structure that needs a refresh or dreaming of building a brand-new space, your deck is the centerpiece of summer entertaining.

Why Your Deck Deserves Attention
Decks take a beating from the elements year-round. Giving them some TLC now ensures safety, longevity, and a polished look that makes your whole yard feel like an extension of your home.

- Pergolas or shade covers
- Composite decking for low-maintenance appeal

Materials That Work in the Inland Northwest

Keep your eye out for our next installment in the Summer Prep Series, where we’ll talk gazebos —perfect for lounging in the shade or elevating your backyard gatherings.

Let’s kick off our Summer Prep Series with one of the easiest ways to dramatically transform your home's look and protect it at the same time: exterior painting.

### Why Exterior Painting Matters
A fresh coat of paint does more than make your home look nice. It seals and protects your siding from moisture, sun damage, and insects. It can even extend the life of your exterior materials.

### Signs It’s Time to Repaint
- Peeling, bubbling, or cracking paint
- Faded or chalky color
- Visible mildew or water stains
- Wood rot or exposed bare spots

### Choosing the Right Color
Stick with timeless tones if you're thinking about resale. Earthy neutrals, crisp whites, and warm grays are always a safe bet. Want to make a statement? Consider a bold front door or colorful trim.

### Prep Work Is Key
Don’t skip the prep! A great paint job starts with:
- Pressure washing to remove dirt and mildew
- Scraping loose paint
- Filling cracks and caulking gaps
- Priming any bare wood or repaired areas

### Best Time to Paint
In the Inland Northwest, late spring through early fall offers the best window. Aim for dry days with temps between 50–90°F. Avoid painting in direct sunlight if possible.

### DIY or Hire a Pro?
Small touch-ups or a fresh coat on trim? You might tackle that weekend warrior-style. But full repaints? Let Mr. Clean Fix LLC handle the ladder work, the prep, and the finish for a clean, lasting result.

A kitchen remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home. Not only does it enhance your everyday living experience, but it also adds significant value to your property. The key to a successful remodel is knowing where to spend your budget and where you can save without sacrificing style or functionality. Whether you’re remodeling for yourself or with resale in mind, here's how to make smart kitchen upgrades that pay off.

Splurge-Worthy Kitchen Upgrades

1. Cabinetry

Cabinets are the backbone of your kitchen design. Opting for high-quality, durable cabinets with soft-close hardware and smart storage features can completely transform your space. Custom or semi-custom cabinets offer the best ROI and functionality.

2. Countertops

Your countertops see a lot of use, so investing in a durable and stylish material like quartz or granite makes a big impact. These materials are not only beautiful but also increase your kitchen’s resale value.

3. Appliances

Energy-efficient, stainless steel appliances are a must-have in a modern kitchen. They offer long-term savings on energy bills and are attractive to future buyers.

4. Lighting

Good lighting changes everything. Splurge on layered lighting—ambient, task, and accent—to improve functionality and ambiance. Pendant lights over an island or under-cabinet lighting can elevate your space.

5. Flooring

Durable, easy-to-clean flooring like luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, or hardwood is worth the investment, especially in high-traffic kitchens.

Where You Can Save

1. Backsplash

There are many affordable and stylish tile options that look high-end without the premium price. Peel-and-stick options are great for budget-conscious DIYers.

2. Hardware

Swapping out old knobs and pulls for modern finishes can update the whole look of your kitchen on a small budget.

3. Paint

A fresh coat of paint on walls or even on old cabinets can breathe new life into your kitchen for minimal cost.

4. Open Shelving

Instead of installing upper cabinets everywhere, open shelving can be an affordable and trendy alternative.

Kitchen Upgrades That Add the Most Value

If you're remodeling with resale in mind, focus on timeless, functional upgrades that buyers will love:

• Neutral color palettes appeal to a wider audience

• Quartz or granite countertops for their durability and appeal

• Updated cabinetry with modern finishes and hardware

• Efficient layouts that improve flow and usability

• Smart storage solutions like pull-out drawers and pantry systems

• Energy-efficient appliances that save money and attract eco-conscious buyers

Final Thoughts

Remodeling your kitchen doesn’t have to break the bank to deliver a huge impact. By knowing where to invest and where to trim costs, you can create a beautiful, functional kitchen that brings daily joy and long-term value.

Let Mr. Clean Fix LLC help you strike the perfect balance of budget, beauty, and ROI in your next kitchen project!

Spring is just around the corner, and while April showers may keep you indoors, it's the perfect time to tackle home improvement projects before the sunny days of summer arrive. Whether you're looking to refresh your space with a new coat of paint or take on a quick room remodel, April is an ideal month to get your home ready for spring.

Why April is the Best Time for Indoor Projects

• Beat the Summer Rush – Contractors get busier as the weather improves, so tackling projects now means faster scheduling and completion.

• Perfect Painting Conditions – Spring’s mild temperatures and humidity levels help paint dry evenly without extreme heat or cold affecting the finish.

• Spring Cleaning Bonus – While decluttering, why not update your space with a fresh look?

• Tax Refund Season – Many homeowners use their tax refunds for home upgrades, making it a great time for budget-friendly renovations.

Great Indoor Projects for April

1. Interior Painting Refresh

Nothing transforms a space like a fresh coat of paint. Try trending spring colors like soft greens, warm beiges, or classic whites to brighten up your home.

2. Quick Room Makeovers

Simple updates like replacing light fixtures, updating hardware, or adding an accent wall can give a room a completely new feel without a major remodel.

3. Bathroom Upgrades

Swap out outdated faucets, install new mirrors, or update tile grout for an easy yet impactful bathroom refresh.

4. Kitchen Mini-Renovations

Refacing cabinets, adding a backsplash, or upgrading countertops can bring new life to your kitchen without the commitment of a full remodel.

5. Flooring Updates

April’s mild weather makes it a great time to replace old carpet with LVP, refinish hardwood, or install new tile in high-traffic areas.

Get Ready for Spring and Summer

By tackling indoor projects now, you’ll be free to enjoy the outdoors when summer arrives. Whether you’re prepping for guests, increasing your home’s value, or simply refreshing your space, April is the perfect month to get things done.

When it comes to homeownership, your house isn’t just a place to live—it’s also one of your most significant financial assets. Whether you plan to sell in the near future or stay for years to come, remodeling is one of the smartest ways to increase your home's value. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades, in particular, consistently yield some of the highest returns on investment (ROI). Let’s explore why remodeling pays off and how you can make strategic improvements that benefit both your lifestyle and your bottom line.

Why Remodeling is a Smart Investment

1. Increases Property Value

Certain home renovations significantly boost your home’s market value. According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, kitchen and bathroom remodels often yield an ROI of 60-80%, depending on the scope of the project and the local housing market. Even minor updates, such as painting, new fixtures, and updated countertops, can make a home more appealing to potential buyers.

2. Helps Your Home Sell Faster

If you’re thinking about selling, a remodeled home is more likely to attract buyers. Many buyers are willing to pay more for move-in-ready properties rather than taking on renovation projects themselves. A modern kitchen with new appliances and a stylish bathroom with updated finishes can make all the difference in a competitive real estate market.

3. Enhances Functionality & Comfort

Not all remodeling projects are about resale value—some are simply about improving your daily life. A well-planned kitchen renovation can make cooking and entertaining more enjoyable, while a bathroom upgrade can turn an outdated space into a spa-like retreat. These changes add value to your life, whether you plan to stay or sell.

4. Energy Efficiency Pays Off

Updating appliances, lighting, windows, and insulation as part of a remodel can significantly reduce your utility bills. Energy-efficient upgrades not only save you money but also make your home more attractive to buyers who prioritize sustainability.

5. Keeps Your Home Competitive in the Market

In neighborhoods where home values are rising, remodeling helps your property stay competitive. If nearby homes are being updated, an outdated home could struggle to sell at top dollar. Renovating ensures that your home remains desirable and in line with current market trends.
