Whether you have a residential or commercial property, proper exterior maintenance is important. Not only does it help with the durability of a building but it can also improve curb appeal, resulting in a higher property value and a higher probability of a sale.
Although it can be tempting to take on many of these tasks alone, hiring a professional to maintain the exterior of a property definitely has its benefits. There are a number of things to consider when hiring someone, but with the right professionals in your corner, the benefits can be worth it.
We spoke with Terry, Owner/Operator of Men in Kilts – Kelowna to give us some guidance on the topic.
Q. Why are cleaning gutters so important?
A. Keeping gutters clean allows run-off water to flow freely and reduces backed-up water from leaking and rotting your home. Clean gutters eliminate areas that pests and critters can live.
Q. What are the advantages of hiring a professional to clean gutters?
A. We have the right tools, the knowledge and we guarantee our work.
Q. Why would a home need a professional wash?
A. A regular house wash with a pressure washer will help with removing dirt and debris and can add curb appeal to your home. Doing a soft wash with a low-pressure washing, soft bristle brush, and soap will help to remove mold and mildew.
Q. Can you tell us more about Moss Maintenance?
A. Moss Maintenance is also very important for your home.
If you have moss growth it will always grow back if not taken care of, so taking some steps to curb the growth and prevent new growth is important for the state of your roof.
We have many different ways to deal with the moss on your home and it is all dependent on your needs. All quotes include a free home visit and are no obligation at all.
Q. If someone didn’t clean their windows what could happen?
A. Windows that are not cleaned regularly can develop deposits of minerals and debris.
Cleaning windows regularly can help brighten your home as well as help heat your home naturally, which can save money on your energy bill.
Q. What are the benefits of hiring Men in Kilts vs another company?
A. The Okanagan has a lot of great window cleaning companies. We are qualified and insured for both our employees and your home.
Q. What area does your location serve?
A. We serve from Vernon to Osoyoos and everything in between.
Their professional, kilt-wearing technicians are proud to offer interior and exterior window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, and house washing for residential and commercial properties.

As Halloween approaches in 2023, homeowners are gearing up to transform their spaces into hauntingly beautiful realms. This year, the trends in home Halloween decor have taken a turn towards a balance between spooky sophistication and eco-consciousness.
Sustainable Decor: One notable trend for 2023 is the emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly Halloween decorations. Homeowners are opting for reusable, recyclable, and biodegradable decor items. From compostable pumpkin decorations to reusable spiderweb decals, the eco-conscious approach to Halloween is gaining popularity. It’s a reflection of the growing awareness of environmental issues.
Monochromatic Palettes: Classic black and white Halloween decor is making a comeback with a modern twist. Monochromatic color schemes create a sophisticated and eerie atmosphere. Think black and white pumpkins, candles, and table settings. These designs are easy to coordinate and provide a timeless and elegant look.
Minimalist Elegance: Many are embracing a minimalist approach to Halloween decor. Subtle touches like ghostly wall decals, minimalist wreaths, and sleek, dark candle holders create a sense of understated spookiness. This trend is ideal for those who prefer a more refined aesthetic.
DIY and Personalized Decor: DIY projects are still in vogue. Homeowners are enjoying the process of crafting their Halloween decorations, adding a personal touch to their spaces. Hand-painted pumpkins, homemade wreaths, and customized banners are all the rage, allowing for a unique and creative expression of Halloween spirit.
Tech-Enhanced Haunting: Technology is playing a significant role in Halloween decor. Smart lighting, motion-activated decorations, and even holographic displays are being incorporated to create interactive and immersive Halloween experiences. This trend adds an element of surprise and excitement to home decor.
Vintage Vibes: Nostalgia is creeping into Halloween decor with a resurgence of vintage-inspired items. Old-fashioned lanterns, Victorian-style decorations, and retro costumes are gaining popularity. It’s a nod to the spooky aesthetics of the past.
Clever Lighting: Lighting is crucial in setting the mood, and homeowners are getting creative with it. From eerie candlelit walkways to LED-lit jack-o’-lanterns, lighting is being used strategically to enhance the Halloween ambiance.
Botanical Elements: Nature-inspired Halloween decor is making waves. Dried flowers, branches, and autumnal leaves are being used to create a rustic, witchy vibe. These elements add an earthy and organic touch to the decor.
In 2023, Halloween home decor is all about embracing the spooky season with a touch of elegance, sustainability, and personalization. Whether you prefer a modern monochrome look or a vintage-inspired vibe, there are plenty of creative ways to celebrate Halloween and make your home a bewitching haven for all who dare to visit.
