</avb-picture>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Examine your home’s exterior for wear and tear from the fall and winter weather. Clean up and make repairs to avoid maintenance surprises. Here’s how to spruce up your property for spring:</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">GUTTERS</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Gutters fill up with debris and leaves which can impact drainage from the roof. Hire a professional or clean the gutters yourself. Don’t forget to practice safety when cleaning gutters by using a sturdy ladder and having tools ready. Having a bucket or place a tarp on the ground to catch the gunk from the gutters will make this task much easier, as it avoids a mess on the lawn.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">REPAIR CHIPPED PAINT</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Chipped paint not only looks bad but did you know it can cause damage to siding and trim? If your home isn’t due for repainting, repair only the worn areas. Scrape off the chipped paint before painting. Make sure to match the paint color exactly for a seamless finish.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">LANDSCAPING</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Clean up last year’s growth by trimming and pruning trees and bushes. Clear out any remaining fall leaves and replace old mulch for a fresh look. Before you plant, check the irrigation system and sprinklers for needed repairs. Then, plant your fresh spring flowers.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">DECKS AND PATIOS</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
You want your decks and patios in good shape for outdoor fun. Reseal wooden fences, decks, and patios. Clean or replace outdoor furniture. Make your outdoor space inviting for the warm weather months that are ahead!</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">GRILL</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Inspect and clean your grill to make sure it’s in good working condition for upcoming cookouts and holidays. Spring is a great time to upgrade your grill. Consider adding an outdoor kitchen to your home to create the perfect entertainment space.</p>

</avb-picture>
 
<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">INTERIOR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
The warm spring days we’ve all been anticipating are finally on the way! We invite you to open your windows and clean out the winter germs. Spring is also a great time to start fresh with repairs and remodels.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">SPRING CLEANING</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Begin your spring maintenance with a deep clean to clear out the clutter. Donate old or unwanted items and throw away broken items. Deep clean the kitchen and bathrooms. Consider having your windows and carpets professionally cleaned.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">AIR CONDITIONING</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
The worst time for an air conditioner to go out is during the warmer months – especially down south! Be sure to schedule regular maintenance for your air conditioner. Clean out interior vents and replace your air filter regularly to ensure good airflow.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">UPDATE APPLIANCES</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Deep clean your refrigerator by pulling out the shelves and throwing away expired foods. Pull out your refrigerator and vacuum lint from the backside. Inspect your kitchen appliances for needed repairs or maintenance. Time for an upgrade? Visit your Jacksonville kitchen appliance store to purchase new or updated appliances.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">CHECK SAFETY FEATURES</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Spring is an excellent time to maintain your home’s safety features. Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors. Inspect your fire extinguishers and replace any that are expired or damaged.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Make your home look and feel great for spring and summer. It’s not too late for spring home maintenance. In fact, now is a perfect time! Use our checklist to get started.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Kitchen renos can cost an arm and a leg if you aren’t careful. When it comes to breaking budgets, nothing tips the scale like redoing your kitchen. This is easy to avoid if you prepare yourself from the beginning.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Careful research and partnering with the right pros will lead to a cost-friendly new kitchen in no time. Take a look at the First Coast Supply team’s favorite affordable countertop options for 2021 renovations.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">CONCRETE</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">What a fun way to add an industrial, contemporary look to kitchens of every design scheme. We love concrete for its low-cost price tag, but its functionality is what really has us raving. Choose from dozens of finish options — we’re partial to black and natural stone.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">PROS: doesn’t scratch, impervious to heat, can be embedded with different accents, easy to clean</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">BUTCHER BLOCK</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Wood and butcher block counters are the perfect touch of warmth that all-white kitchens crave. Popular materials include bamboo and maple, but your choices are endless. The only significant maintenance you need to keep in mind is that wood needs a deep oil every two-to-three years.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">PROS: lasts for decades, easy to clean, can be sourced locally, easy to repair and refinish</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">TILE</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
All of the perks of stone without the price tag. Choose any color, size or shape tile you want for a creative approach to high-quality countertops. You receive the same durability of stone without having to pay for one large slab.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">PROS: variety, easy to replace individual damaged tiles, durable</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">ENGINEERED QUARTZ</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
This is a perfect durable option for families with kiddos. It’s cheaper than the real deal and looks great in any kitchen. First Coast Supply carries <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/countertops">five different manufactured quartz brands</avb-link> to fit any homeowner’s style.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">PROS: low maintenance, durable, customizable</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">STAINLESS STEEL</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Want the look of a professional kitchen without the commitment of outfitting it? Start with stainless steel counters. It’s a beautiful way to branch outside of the norm while remaining high end and functional.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">PROS: resilient to nearly everything, elegant, functional</p>

Have you ever thought about how your are maintaining your home appliances? In this blog post, we're breaking down some common mistakes!</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">When you stack takeout containers, bags of produce, and salad dressing bottles in the back of your fridge, you block the air vents. Blocked air vents make it difficult for your fridge to regulate its temperature. Also, this could cause the condenser coils to work overtime and overheat.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">MISTAKE #2: NEGLECTING TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN</h2>

Have you ever thought about how your are maintaining your home appliances? In this blog post, we're breaking down some common mistakes!</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Drops of food in your oven from gooey pies, delicious casseroles, and cheesy pizzas are totally common but must be taken care of. When you forget to clean the burnt-on foods from your oven’s base, you block the heating rods from doing their job.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">MISTAKE #3: HAPHAZARDLY LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER</h2>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">We get it. You’re busy and the kids are just begging for a long list of chores (haha). Our best advice is to give your little ones specific instructions on how to properly load a dishwasher. If dishes are roughly placed on their racks and bang against the inside in the process, you can easily chip the vinyl coat. The racks will begin to rust and affect the wash process.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">If you’re not much of a cook, there’s a good chance you hide your extra pans or chunky sweaters (shoutout to Carrie Bradshaw) inside the oven. Unfortunately, it’s pretty common for someone in the household to turn on the oven and ruin the contents inside. You’ll end up with charred items and a destroyed oven interior.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">MISTAKE #5: IGNORING HOME APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE</h2>



<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
This is one mistake that can cost you thousands in the long run. Ice makers in the refrigerator and appliance filters are two simple maintenance items often overlooked. Work with a professional home appliance maintenance company or do a bit of research on the upkeep your specific appliances require.</p>

Don't Make These Home Appliances Mistakes

	<avb-picture-source class="dsg-block-1-image" data-size="xsmall" data-src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/members/n0049-first-coast-supply/4-Reasons-to-Build-an-Outdoor-Kitchen-in-Florida.jpeg"></avb-picture-source>
</avb-picture>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Many of the high-quality homes around Jacksonville boast an outdoor kitchen for a reason. If you want a stand-out outdoor space to impress your family and friends, an outdoor kitchen is the place to start. There are so many fun ways to customize this bonus space and make it your own. From fun, <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/catalog/appliances">practical appliances</avb-link> to <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/countertops">bold countertops</avb-link>, the First Coast Supply team is here to give you the outdoor kitchen of your dreams. If you need some ammo to help convince your family (or financial advisor) of this investment, here are four key points to bring up:</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN WILL PROVIDE A HIGHER HOME VALUE WHEN IT’S TIME TO SELL</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
There isn’t a potential home buyer in the world who doesn’t see the value of a developed backyard. The return on investment you’ll experience comes down to a few factors — the quality of the materials, the current housing market and the location of your home.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Homeowners in the south place a large value on the quality of their <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/catalog/outdoor">outdoor living space</avb-link>. Of course, it’s always wise to make sure your investment can actually pay off. With an average cost of $10k-$18k, discerning property owners want to make sure they can recoup some of that money. According to Quicken Loans, you can expect an ROI between 55% and 200%.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">OUTDOOR KITCHENS WILL ADD SQUARE FOOTAGE TO YOUR LIVING SPACE</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
We can’t think of a single person who doesn’t want to expand their living space at some point. Unfortunately, it’s often too much work and money to add on to your main residence. If your family needs to creatively add more space, an outdoor kitchen is your answer.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
To make it feel more like a livable home expansion, enclose the outdoor kitchen and add a ceiling fan to create a space that functions in all kinds of weather. Take it one step further with a four- or six-top dining set, comfy seating and dimmable overhead lights.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">LOWER ENERGY COSTS DURING THE SUMMER</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
One of the most important benefits is often a surprise to homeowners. It’s hard to believe how much energy you use to keep your home cool while cooking indoors (especially during the muggy Jacksonville summers.) An outdoor kitchen saves you from firing up the oven or cooktop.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">When you build a summer kitchen curated to your cooking habits, it’s easier than ever to move your cooking outdoors. Consider incorporating a full stove top, small fridge and a grill.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">GIVE YOUR FAMILY A FUN SPOT TO RELAX</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
An outdoor kitchen serves many practical purposes, yes. It’s also a great way to increase family time and host more parties with friends. If you want your house to be the hangout for family and friends, an outdoor kitchen creates the ideal environment.</p>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">Add a swimming pool and surround sound and they might never leave! First Coast Supply is a family company. We understand the importance of spending quality time with the people you love. Decked out outdoor spaces are the way to go for families of all kinds.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">BEGIN THE NEW YEAR WITH AN INVESTMENT THE WHOLE FAMILY WILL LOVE</h2>
<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
The gift of more space and a new hangout spot is priceless. Every home renovation starts at the <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/contacts">First Coast Supply showroom</avb-link>, and an outdoor kitchen is no different. <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="tel:904-388-1217">Call us today</avb-link> to get started on your one-of-a-kind design.</p>

4 Reasons to Build an Outdoor Kitchen in Florida

 <avb-picture class="avb-picture dsg-block-1-picture" data-alt="Built-In Versus Stand-Alone Refrigerators">
	<avb-picture-source class="dsg-block-1-image" data-size="xsmall" data-src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/members/n0049-first-coast-supply/Built-In-Versus-Stand-Alone-Refrigerators.png"></avb-picture-source>
</avb-picture>

<p class="avb-typography__paragraph">When designing a kitchen for either new construction or a remodel, you’ll need to decide between a built-in or stand-alone refrigerator. Each has pros and cons, but ultimately, it’s personal preference that matters most.</p>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
At First Coast Supply in Jacksonville, Florida, we carry both built-in and stand-alone refrigerator models. We also carry a variety of brands as various price points. For luxury, built-in refrigerator models, we’re a <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/gaggenau-overview">Gaggenau appliance</avb-link> carrier along with many other <avb-link class="avb-link" data-href="https://www.fcsjax.com/catalog/appliances">luxury appliance brands</avb-link>. Our expert staff is available to help you find the perfect refrigerator for your home.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">STAND-ALONE REFRIGERATORS</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Stand-alone or freestanding refrigerators are the most common type of home refrigerator. This means that there’s more selection of brands and styles. Freestanding refrigerators are a great option for homeowners that want flexibility. Stand-alone refrigerators are affordable, movable and easy to install. For modest and mid-range homes, stand-alone refrigerators are usually the right choice.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">ADVANTAGES WITH STAND-ALONE REFRIGERATORS</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Freestanding refrigerators offer many advantages. First, when compared to built-in refrigerators, stand-alone models are less expensive and available at a variety of price points. Overall, freestanding refrigerators offer flexibility.</p>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Stand-alone refrigerators are available in full-depth or 24-inch depth. For width, there’s also a variety of options; however, the greatest width available is 36 inches. Also, for homeowners that want off-the-shelf options, most stand-alone refrigerators aren’t customizable. This makes decision making quicker.</p>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Like with built-in refrigerators, models are available in many different finishes and door styles. From white to slate finishes and traditional freezer-on-top to French doors, you can find a model to fit your design preference.</p>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">The best advantage for stand-alone refrigerators is the easy installation. Professional installation isn’t required. Also, freestanding refrigerators are easily moved from one location or home to another.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">DISADVANTAGES WITH STAND-ALONE REFRIGERATORS</h2>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
When compared to built-in refrigerators, freestanding refrigerators usually don’t have as long of a lifespan. Also, even at the 24-inch depth, stand-alone refrigerators won’t line up perfectly flush with cabinets. The other disadvantage when compared to built-in models is that freestanding refrigerators have a maximum width of 36-inches. If you need a wider refrigerator, the stand-alone model won’t meet your needs.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">BUILT-IN REFRIGERATORS</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Built-in refrigerators are primary designed for luxury or high-end kitchens. For kitchen remodels, built-in refrigerators take your kitchen design up a notch. However, built-in refrigerators are more expensive and require professional installation. Most luxury brands, like Gaggenau, offer a selection of built-in refrigerators.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">ADVANTAGES WITH BUILT-IN REFRIGERATORS</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Built-in refrigerators deliver a sleek and luxury style you just can’t achieve with stand-alone models. These are a crucial element of high-end kitchen design. While built-in refrigerators are limited to a 24-inch depth, to keep them flush with surrounding cabinets, they come in a variety of widths. In fact, built-in refrigerators are available up to 48 inches wide. They’re also usually taller than stand-alone refrigerators so that there’s not a gap between the top of the refrigerator and the cabinets.</p>

 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Built-in refrigerators are built to last. They have a longer lifespan than most stand-alone refrigerators. The other big advantage with built-in refrigerators is the limitless customization. A variety of door styles are available, including custom paneling and see-through doors. Also, they have unique features like a built-in wine cooler.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">DISADVANTAGES WITH BUILT-IN REFRIGERATORS</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
While built-in refrigerators are top-quality and luxury, there are some disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is the price. Because of the large price tag, built-in refrigerators are usually best suited for luxury kitchens. Also, professional installation is required, and the refrigerator must be attached to the wall. This makes it very difficult to move a built-in refrigerator. Since they are designed for a specific space, it’s usually best not to try and move the refrigerator to a new location.</p>

<h2 class="avb-typography__heading avb-typography__heading--title">MAKING THE CHOICE</h2>
 <p class="avb-typography__paragraph">
Both stand-alone and built-in refrigerators offer a variety of finishes and styles. Both also come with energy efficient and smart technology features. When choosing the right type of refrigerator for your space, consider your design style and budget. Also, think about what types of features you most want. Either option provides both advantages and disadvantages. Work with an interior designer or kitchen supply expert, like First Coast Supply, for help with decision making.</p>
