Being like Paul Bunyan certainly can show off how you can use an axe to cut and split firewood, but using a great power tool can do the same thing using half the time and energy. Our log splitter can help get your home ready for a wood fire in your fireplace or to have wood in your fire pit to roast some s’mores in no time. Most of the time you want to cut your wood in the summer months to give the wood plenty of time to dry before the winter months, but if you’re anything like us this year, then you probably forgot too. So if you forgot, no worries…. we live in Texas so it won’t get too cold yet.
If you want the smell and sounds of a crackling fire this winter, then Rent the Log Splitter today!

Fall is the perfect time to Clean out your garage.  Being able to park your car in the garage and stay warm in the winter months, is a key reason to tackle this Weekend Warrior Fall Project now.

Declutter

First things first….  Take all items out of the garage and start to sort them of what you do and do not need.  (Don’t be afraid to part with things that you’ve had for a long time!  Getting rid of old things will only make room for the new items that you will actually use and not just collect dust in the garage.)  To help with the removal of items, we have an assorted dollies to help get the job done fast and not break your back.

It is best to create 3 piles: Trash, Charity, and Keep.  If you have a lot of items to remove, then you want to rent a dump trailer or utility trailer in order to dispose of all the items and take them to the landfill or take to your favorite charity.

Cleaning and Floor Maintenance

Start by sweeping the entire garage and brush out all the corners of the garage.  Rent a blower to remove all the small particles that the broom just couldn’t pick up.

Now, it is time to give your garage a good cleaning with a pressure washer.  Pressure washing the floor can help you see if there is any damage or crack that you may need to repair.  If your garage floor has become battered and bruised over the years, now is the perfect time to fix them.   Rental Stop has all the tools you will need to repair your concrete as well.  Check them out here.

Inspect and Paint Your Walls

Time to inspect all the walls of the garage and make sure there are no holes and cracks that need to be repaired. Once you repair the walls, it is time to put a fresh coat of paint.  Our airless paint sprayer can get the job done fast.

Time to Organize and Label

Finally, it is time to get everything in its place. Organizing your garage can save you plenty of time and money.  Yes, money…  you will be able to find all your items and not have to go buy what you already have in your garage.  It is always helpful to place all the cleaning supplies in one spot, tools in another. Time to invest in things like shelves, cabinets, hooks and bins to contain all your items.

Many garages can have odd shapes to them so if you need to make your own shelves or cabinets, Rental Stop has all the tools and saws to help get the job done.

Finally, it is always helpful to label all your bins and sections to help you find everything.  Some suggestions are Tools, Cleaning Supplies, Car, Holiday Decorations, etc.

Most people feel Spring is the most important time for lawns, but really Fall is just as important. Fall lawn maintenance gets your yard ready for the long winter and can help keep your lawn healthy all year long…. And aerating is one of the most important tasks of all.

Why is aerating so important? It is the process of puncturing the soil and pulling “plugs” below to create open pockets. It is through these pockets that air, water, and nutrients find their way to feed the roots of grass. Aerating lawns also encourages root development before the coming winter as well as loosen compacted soil to help your grass grow.

Fall is the perfect time to aerate your lawn, since we have the cooler air temperatures but warm ground temperatures. This allows your soil time to recover before going dormant for the winter.

Since you only need to Aerate your lawn only two times a year (early spring and fall), purchasing an aerator can be expensive, as well as, take up space in your garage or shed. Renting an aerator is the best solution to help save you money. And why not team up with a neighbor or two and rent for the day!

Tip: After the aerating process, it is best to keep heavy foot traffic off your lawn in order to allow the plugs to breakdown naturally. You don’t want all your hard work to get compressed back into the lawn with heavy foot traffic.

After aerating your lawn, now is the perfect time to rent a spreader to fertilize and overseed your yard. This helps the seeds to come in close contact with the soil. Don’t forget to add water!

If you don’t have time to do these projects around your home to prepare for winter, let Rental Stop do them for you.  Our new Service Department will come out and provide you a quote and get the job done with all the necessary tools included.  Call us today at 972-336-0059 for your quote. Or visit our website: www.rentalstops.com

As we begin to say goodbye to the hot Summer sun, Fall is a time to prepare for the cold months ahead. No, winter in Texas doesn’t typically come with lots of snow, but we still must prepare for what is to come.  September and October are the ideal months to winterize and protect your home and belongings.

Rental Stop has many options of Pressure Washers to choose from such as Pressure Washer 4000, a Hot Water Pressure Washer, and our NEW Pressure Washer Trailer that comes with a Water Tank included.  No water where you need to clean…  No problem.  This new Trailer has everything you need included.

Below are some tips on what you can do to winterize your home and items with a pressure washer.  Remember when using a pressure washer, always take the proper safety precautions before beginning any project.

Clean out your Gutters

Gutters are an important part of your home’s structural integrity. Gutters redirect water away from your roof and walls. However, they can easily get clogged with leaves, insects, sticks, and other debris.  Make sure you clean them regularly so they can do their job properly.

Decks and More

Remember when your fence or your deck was new? The wood looked so fresh and beautiful. Using a pressure washer, you can restore your fence, gate, outdoor furniture, or deck to their former glory.

Clean Your Home Exterior

While the weather is still nice, check the exterior to see if there are any areas that have dirt, moss, or mold. Now is the perfect time to tame those spots. Pressure washing your home will easily remove stains and plant growth, from brick or vinyl siding.

Cleaning and Sealing Driveways

Before Winter hits, clean your driveway with a pressure washer. If needed and the surface is dry, roll or spray on the appropriate sealant.

Before Painting your Homes Exterior

Check for peeling paint on exterior surfaces. Pressure washers are a great way to blast away old paint.  Fall is a wonderful time to paint the exterior of your home, but you need to make sure that it is clean first.

Automobiles, Boats and RVs

After traveling and playing all summer long, it time to clean all those toys and cars.  Most people know you can pressure wash your car or motorcycle, but you can also clean your RV, boat, jet ski, and other vehicles.  Just be careful because of potential paint damage, be sure to use the gentlest cleansers and the proper nozzle.

Clean in and around your swimming pools

The inside and around your pool may also need a good scrub after a long summer.  Sometimes the brushes can’t do all the work and you need to pressure wash to get all the algae and grime off.  Drain your pool and pressure wash from the top down to make sure you get all the grime off.  Don’t need to clean your pool, then clean off the pool deck to make it shine like new.

Garbage Cans

The inside of your trash cans is not something you think to clean, but over time they begin to stink and have lots of dirt and grime inside.  Pressure wash away all the dirt and debris quickly and easily with a pressure washer. Simply lay your cans on their side and place them up against a wall or fence, so they don’t blow away with the force of the spray.

Clean your summer tools

If you do your own yard work, it is time to preserve your tools. We recommend pressure washing them before storing them for the winter. Line them up and spray them down!  Make sure you dry each piece, so they do not rust before storing for the winter.

And remember, if you don’t have time to do these projects around your home to prepare for winter, let Rental Stop do them for you.  Our new Service Department will come out and provide you a quote and get the job done with all the necessary tools included.  Call us today at 972-336-0059 for your quote. Or visit our website: www.rentalstops.com
