6 Spring Cleaning Hacks for a Fresh Home this Season

Posted on
in

Step outside and take a breath of fresh, clean air — spring has arrived in Greater Pittsburgh! If you’ve bought a new Weaver home recently, what better way to celebrate the season of new beginnings than by freshening it up? From your window sills to your pillows, small changes can make a big difference in the overall feel of your living space.

This season, take a few moments to refresh your beautiful home to welcome the best time of year.

 

Spring Cleaning Hacks for 2022

 

  1. Welcome Home: You’ve wiped your shoes clean of dirt and mud for an entire year on your outdoor welcome mat. Give it a major spruce-up by hosing it down and letting it air-dry, taking care to hose off or scrub the area underneath it. Another effective way of stopping dirt in its tracks (no pun intended) is to use a mat on the inside of your door as well. If you already have one, vacuum both sides of it to really get the dirt out for a new season of visitors.

 

  1. Dust It Off: Even the most simple of tasks can make a big impact. Dusting off the often-forgotten surfaces of your home — like window sills, blinds, fan blades, and the top of the fridge — can give your entire home a clean aura and feel. With a cloth, store-bought duster, or dusting gloves (our favorite!) get around hard-to-reach places like coffee maker nooks, picture frames, and vases.

 

  1. Scrub it Out: Believe it not, your trash can needs some cleaning love, too! Although this might not sound like the most fun chore, it’s amazing how much fresher your kitchen can look and smell once the trash can is scrubbed clean. Take your empty can outside, give it a squirt of liquid dish soap and water, scrub it with a long-handled brush, and voila! The smells are long gone and it’ll look good as new. 

 

  1. Bedding Beauty: The place you go to for ultimate relaxation, your bed is one of the most special parts of your home. Refresh this space by switching out thicker, winter sheets and pillow cases for spring ones. Not to mention, a new look — like a light-colored duvet or spring-themed pillows — creates an entirely fresh vibe. Take care to wash duvet covers, give your mattress a quick spray of disinfectant, and rotate your mattress so that the springs remain even and comfortable all year long.

 

  1. Flower Power: The most prominent sign of spring, fresh flowers make this season so lovable. Whether in your primary bedroom, guest bathroom, living room, or kitchen, sweet-smelling flowers like lilacs, tulips, and daffodils make your home feel fresh, light, and beautiful. If fresh flowers make your nose itch, replace them with scented candles, potpourri in dishes, or scented oil diffusers to enjoy the fresh scents of spring.

 

  1. Gut Your Garage: It’s easy to let the things in your garage pile up, but it’s difficult to clean it all up… With the start of spring officially here, make it a point to tackle the garage! After sorting items into piles (keep, donate, sell, recycle), do a little dusting, sweeping, and hosing down, and it’ll be as good as new in no time. 

 

There’s nothing as sweet as springtime scents and a little bit of sunshine! This season, make sure your Weaver home feels just as fresh as the day you bought it. We can’t wait to see how you spruce up your home. From all of us at Weaver Homes, have a happy and refreshing spring!

How Our Online Sales Counselor, June, Can Help You Find Your New Home

Posted on

Searching for a new home in Pittsburgh can be time consuming and overwhelming. There are so many great choices for housing of all kinds, and in so many areas. How do you narrow it all down without spending weeks or months driving around and looking at home after home? The answer is to speak with a New Home Online Sales Counselor. 

June Kress is Weaver Homes’ Online Sales Counselor, and she’s ready to help you find your new home!

 

What is an Online Home Sales Counselor?

An Online Sales Counselor, or OSC for short, is your initial point of contact when you fill out an online interest form for a new home community, or call a home builder for more information. This person is a skilled customer service specialist, whose only job is to make sure you have all the information you need to move forward in your home search.

June has been with Weaver Homes since 2016 and has a passion for helping people embark upon their home building journeys. She’ll take as much time as necessary to explain the process step-by-step, present all the options that fit your budget, lifestyle, and design preferences, and schedule appointments that work with your schedule. The home buying process has never been more convenient!

 

Why is an OSC important to the new home sales process?

Nearly 100% of home shoppers start their searches online. On builder websites and social media pages you can find lots of information about floor plans, communities, quick move-in homes, and pricing. But when you want to know more, it is time to reach out to June! She can help guide you to the community that best fits your lifestyle, and even to a collection of specific floor plans that has the pricing and upgrade options you need.

 

How can an OSC make my home search easier or faster?

You can save time in your home search by speaking with an OSC. They are resources of information, and know up-to-date details about every single community and every floor plan a builder offers. They can help narrow down your home search within a matter of minutes. Then, all you have to do is schedule an appointment to see the handful of homes you have pre-selected. All will be in your price range, meet your requirements, and have brand new everything. Best of all — they will all have the potential to be “the one.” One phone call can save you weeks or even months of searching, and get you into a new home, faster. 

 

Even though June’s title is Online Sales Counselor, there’s a good chance you’ll also meet her in person! Our customers often reach out to June during the sales process to ask questions because of the friendship she has built with them. And if schedules are tight then June will meet customers onsite herself! She’ll do whatever it takes to make sure everyone gets the information they need in record time.

 

How do I get in touch with June?

It’s easy! Contact June by using our online form or by calling her directly at 724-248-1729. She will take the time to get to know you, your preferences, and your reasons for moving. Then, all you have to do is sit back and let her research the best options for you, and when you see something you love, schedule an appointment to see them. With June as your go-to resource, searching for a new home has never been easier!

If you’re looking for a lifestyle filled with convenience, ease, and flexibility, along with a touch of luxury, the Canterbury is the home for you. With two spacious bedrooms, a sunlit veranda, bonus den, large gourmet kitchen, and plenty of storage, this home offers everything you could need or want in new construction. The classic brick and siding details of the front elevation will send this floorplan straight to the top of your short list of new homes in Greater Pittsburgh. 

 

Enter this easy-to-navigate, one-story, stunning home through the covered front porch and formal foyer. The home opens up into a beautiful, open-concept living space with a unique vaulted ceiling and plenty of room to relax, gather, and entertain. The living room connects to a verandah, or sunroom, with wall-to-wall windows on two sides. This area is perfect for reading on a sunny day, or for cultivating gorgeous indoor greenery. 

 

The layout of the open dining room and kitchen is perfect for preparing, serving, and enjoying large family dinners or just a casual meal for two. Through a set of glass French doors, the flexible den can be used for any purpose you can imagine — a home office, study, hobby room, or yoga studio. The options are unlimited. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, with plenty of cabinet and counter space, a functional layout, and bright task lighting throughout. This area extends to a large laundry and storage space, and direct access to the 2-car garage. 

 

Tucked off into a private wing of the home is the elegant owner’s suite. The expansive bedroom is large enough to accommodate all your furniture plus a seating area if you wish. The modern bathroom has sleek fixtures and dual vanity sinks, along with a beautifully-tiled walk-in shower with a built-in bench. The large walk-in closet has enough space for all your treasured items.  

 

The Canterbury embodies single-level living at its finest. The Canterbury I is available in Millcreek Farms in Valencia and The Villas at Spring Valley in Zelienople. With slight variations to the exterior elevation, the Canterbury II is available in Heritage Crossings in Sarver and The Villas at Forest Oaks in Butler.
