There is a particular kind of problem that develops slowly, invisibly, and without any obvious warning until the moment it becomes expensive.

Outside Maintenance

The exterior of a Wichita area home does not experience the transition from winter to warm weather as a gentle, gradual shift. It experiences it as a compressed period of accelerating stress that follows the sustained mechanical punishment of a Kansas winter and precedes the UV exposure, heat loading, and storm activity that the region's summer delivers.

Outdoor Living

Spring in Wichita arrives with a sense of possibility that is hard to ignore, and for homeowners who have been looking out at a backyard or a bare deck through the window all winter, that feeling is usually attached to a specific project that has been taking shape

None

There is a particular kind of homeowner panic that happens in late March or early April when the basement floor is wet and the sump pump is sitting silent in the pit. It did not fail dramatically.

Seasonal

There is a convergence that happens in spring that does not happen in any other season, and for homeowners in the Wichita metro who have been carrying a list of home improvements through the winter months, that convergence is worth understanding and acting on deliberately.

Home Improvement
