Holiday Hosting Made Easy: Plano Handyman Tips
The holidays are fast approaching, and Plano homes will soon be bustling with friends, family, and festive cheer. But let’s be honest — hosting can be stressful if your home isn’t ready.
From squeaky doors to drafty entryways, small maintenance issues can become big distractions when you want to focus on your guests. Fortunately, a few handyman fixes can transform your home into a cozy, welcoming space — stress-free.
1. Make a Stellar First Impression
Your entryway is the first thing guests notice.
Tip: Tighten door handles, repair sticking locks, and add a fresh coat of paint to scuffed doors. Consider installing weatherstripping to block drafts and keep your foyer comfortable. Mr. Handyman can handle these quick fixes efficiently.
2. Smooth Moves for Doors and Windows
Squeaky doors or sticky windows can be surprisingly annoying during gatherings.
Tip: Lubricate hinges, adjust misaligned doors, and check window locks. Simple tweaks keep everything operating smoothly while giving guests a polished impression of your home.
3. Guest Bathroom Ready
Bathrooms often get the most attention — and use — during holiday visits.
Tip: Tighten loose towel bars, replace worn caulking, and check faucets for leaks. Small updates like a new showerhead or refreshed fixtures go a long way toward making your guests feel comfortable.
4. Light It Up for Warmth and Ambiance
Proper lighting sets the mood for holiday entertaining.
Tip: Swap out dim or outdated bulbs, add under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, or install stylish fixtures in common areas. Mr. Handyman can help with installations to ensure everything is safe and functional.
5. Touch Up and Tidy Walls, Trim, and Cabinets
Guests notice the details — even small scuffs or chips on walls and cabinets.
Tip: Patch minor holes, touch up paint, and tighten cabinet hardware. These simple upgrades make your home look polished without major renovations.
6. Extra Storage and Organization
Holiday gatherings mean coats, shoes, and gifts — sometimes a lot of them.
Tip: Add shelving, wall hooks, or a small closet organizer to keep items off the floor and reduce clutter. Mr. Handyman can create practical storage solutions tailored to your home.
