Start the Year with a Fresh, ALLBRiGHT Home & Save Up to $2,500 on your Next Paint Job
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, don't forget about making a few for your home, too. If you don't know where to start, schedule pressure washing for your home's exterior. Pollen, leaf blower debris, dust, dirt, air pollution and more adhere to exterior paint and surfaces, eroding them before their time.
Imagine if you didn't wash your car for years... how would you expect your paint to hold up? The same goes for your home - and it can cost you thousands. A professional pressure wash is an affordable way to make a dramatic, positive difference in the appearance of your home - and during your appointment, the five-star pros at ALLBRiGHT can help you identify any small issues that could become big problems later, too.
Wondering when to schedule your 2026 interior or exterior paint work? Now's a great time - because for jobs completed before February 15, you can save up to $2,500 when you mention InsideSCV's "Big Savings" offer. Call for full details.

Bloom where You are Planted with Bare-root Roses
Understanding the intricacies of planting bare-root roses takes extra care. These dormant plants, shipped without soil around their roots, require meticulous care for robust growth and vibrant blossoms. Here are a few tips from the experts at Green Thumb Nursery.
Soak roots in water for two to 12 hours, pruning damaged parts for optimal health.
Dig a wide hole enriched with compost, positioning the plant with consideration for climate conditions.
Settle soil while watering in intervals to ensure proper rooting.
Trim new roses by one-third to promote root growth; delay pruning for container-grown plants.
Find a sunlit, permanent, tree-free location for optimal growth.
Potted plants in growth mode can be planted from spring to early fall for convenience.
