Preparing Your Lake Lanier Home for the Summer

3 3141 Simpson Park Rd IMG_0944 - Copy - Copy Preparing your Lake Lanier home for the summer means that if you are one of the lucky people, who owns or has access to a home on Lake Lanier, then spring is one of the most exciting and busiest times of the year! Around this area some are already taking advantage of the sunny days we have had to get out on the lake while others may be waiting for the last days of school to wind down to make it officially lake season. Whether you fall into either category now is the time to start working on the maintenance tasks that prepare your home for the fun that lies ahead in summer. As the excitement mounts make sure you put the following tasks on your checklist so that as soon as the time arrives you can be out relaxing and enjoying the water.

Bathrooms-no matter how well you winterized the bathrooms at the end of last summer you may find that a few things may need extra attention. Stains may have developed from the lack of use and a little elbow grease and a pumice stone will do the trick.

Kitchen-make sure the kitchen is clean and that all surfaces are wiped down and ready for use.

Dusting and cobwebs-even if your home is closed down for the winter dust and cobwebs can find a way in. A quick run through with dust cloth and cleaner will get rid of this problem.

Outdoor area-check all your outdoor furniture and equipment to make sure everything is in working order.
Check Plumbing and HVAC Systems-before you plan on spending any significant time in your lake home make sure the plumbing and HVAC systems are operational. Change filters and run water through the pipes.

These are just a few tasks that you may want to complete in order to make sure your home is in tiptop shape. Customize your to-do list to to meet your particular needs.

Don’t put off your Lake House cleaning and maintenance efforts…….it will be time to put your toes in the water before you know it!

At Sheila Davis & Company We Love Our Buyers!

Since October we have been privileged to work with Bob and Diane Pierce who came to Gainesville from Tennessee to find their dream lifestyle on the lake. Working with them was a joy. After their home in Tennessee closed they rented in the area until they found their dream home on beautiful Lake Lanier. They chose this location after having read many articles touting the affordability of the area and close proximity to Atlanta which makes this a targeted retirement community. Working with our buyers has always been such a treat for us and that certainly held true with the Pierces and their faithful companion, Rosco, who accompanied them to each listing as he had to approve of his new home too!
Sheila and Cindy worked closely with Bob and Dianne for months in order to first find out exactly what kind of lake home they wanted and then to stay on top of the market in order to know what new homes would surface that fit their criteria. Working closely with our clients is the cornerstone of our business and it is so rewarding when we are able to work with folks like Bob and Dianne and ultimately succeed by finding their perfect home and walking with them through each and every step of making it their own. Last week we closed on Bob and Dianne’s new home and were reminded of the rewards of what we do when they said, “We can really be happy here!”
We want to wish Bob and Dianne many years of watching the sunset views from their new Lake Lanier home!
Thanks so much from Sheila and Cindy!
