After a week of rains, foot traffic, and event use, it’s time for a post-Lakefair check-up:

-Tighten loose deck boards and railings.

-Re-anchor patio furniture and fix squeaks.

-Sand and seal wood surfaces damaged by moisture.

-Inspect lighting along paths and porch for broken fixtures.

A two-hour weekend review can prevent safety hazards and bigger costs later. We can design a custom post-event inspection plan—restoring beauty and safety on your timeline.

Lakefair's parade floats, popcorn carts, and carnival dust leave a residue on driveways, decks, and siding. Power-washing isn’t just aesthetic—it’s protective:

-Removes dirt that traps moisture and promotes algae or mildew.

-Prevents slip hazards on walkways.

-Revives outdoor surfaces before pests and stains accumulate.

Schedule weekly exterior cleaning during summer's peak. Or let Garrison Property Solutions handle it—efficient, thorough, and Olympia-tested.

-Encourage guests to use public transport or scooters downtown.

🔒 Re-key or re-code locks for security.
📝 Check amenities—replace used kitchen staples, confirm electronics are working.
📅 Open next availability ASAP—guests often book same time next year.

Hey Olympia! Lakefair week is wrapping up, but your property still needs some attention. Here’s a quick checklist to protect your curb appeal and rental readiness:

✅ Power-wash sidewalks & driveways – all that festival dust needs a good rinse.
✅ Pick up any leftover debris from lawns and beds—festival foot traffic packs dirt fast.
✅ Inspect fences, gates, and patio furniture for loose bolts or damage.
✅ Shift fresh mulch into flower beds to hide trampled patches.
✅ Check gutters and downspouts—festival flyers and debris might have clogged them.

A few hours now saves you costly repairs later. And if Lakefair increased your short-term rental bookings? Awesome—just make sure your cleanup and inspection process is smooth.

🔨 Should Seniors Renovate Before Selling in Olympia?

If you’re selling a senior’s home in Olympia, WA, you might be wondering if it’s worth investing in renovations. Here’s what to consider:

🛠️ Small Fixes, Big Impact – Fresh paint, landscaping, and deep cleaning can significantly improve curb appeal without breaking the bank.
🛠️ Major Renovations? Think Twice – Upgrading kitchens or bathrooms may not provide a return on investment, especially for quick sales.
🛠️ Know Your Buyer – Some buyers prefer move-in-ready homes, while others look for properties they can renovate themselves.
