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But once we walked the space together and they started listing other things on their to-do list — replacing outdated fixtures, upgrading the toilets, modernizing trim, painting cabinets — it all made sense to bundle it up.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

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

Trending Features

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 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.

- Multi-level designs
- Built-in seating
- 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.
