Winter can reveal cracks, chips, and nail pops in your walls due to temperature and humidity changes. Addressing these issues in January prevents bigger problems.
1. Fill Cracks and Nail Pops
Use spackling or joint compound to fill small cracks or popped nails. Sand smooth before painting.
2. Touch Up Paint
Temperature fluctuations can cause paint to peel or fade. Touch up areas for a clean, finished look.
3. Inspect Baseboards and Trim
Check for gaps or separation between trim and walls. Re-caulk or fill as needed to maintain appearance and prevent drafts.
4. Check for Water Damage
Look for stains or soft spots that may indicate leaks. Repair drywall and address moisture sources promptly.
5. Prep Walls for Spring Projects
January is ideal for prepping surfaces for larger remodeling projects, like accent walls or new paint finishes.
