If you split your year between Southwest Florida and somewhere colder, you know the feeling of walking into a home that has been closed up for months.
The good news is that most of this can be handled before you ever pull into the driveway. Here is a simple guide for seasonal residents in North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Venice, Englewood, Sarasota and Nokomis, covering what to take care of before you arrive and what to do before you head back north.
Why the Arrival Visit Matters
Pre-Arrival Checklist
Interior and Exterior Windows
Start with the glass, inside and out. Clearvant Window Cleaning hand-cleans every window, interior and exterior, rather than giving it a quick rinse that can leave hard-water spots behind. You can read more about how we handle homes on our residential window cleaning page.
Screens, Sills and Tracks
Clearvant Window Cleaning includes screens, sills and tracks as part of the job.
Sliding Glass Doors
Pool Cage and Lanai
The lanai is where a lot of Florida living happens.
Pressure Washing
Learn more on our pressure washing page.
Ready for glass you can see through again?
The Close-Out Visit Before You Leave
When the season ends and you are packing up, it is tempting to lock the door and go.
- You notice problems while you are still here. Before you fly out, take a look around for a torn screen or a sticky slider so you can arrange a fix.
You can choose what makes sense for your home, from windows inside and out, screens and tracks, and sliding glass doors to the pool cage and lanai, and pressure washing.
The simplest way to keep a seasonal home ready is to stop thinking about it as two separate chores.
Clearvant Window Cleaning is locally owned and operated, based in North Port, and serves seasonal residents across Southwest Florida. Our snowbird home-ready window cleaning page explains how pre-arrival and close-out visits work when you are not here.
When you reach out, just let us know what you would like done. We offer free estimates.
A Few Tips for Seasonal Residents
- Share your details. Let us know about your home and what you would like done when you reach out.
- Make a list. Note anything you saw at close-out, such as a slider that sticks or a screen that looks worn, so it can be checked on the next visit.
