Fall Flooring Event

Home renovations are typically exciting, as home-owners get to see the vi-sions of their dream homes come to light right before their very eyes. Turning an outdated bathroom into a modern oasis or an empty basement into the ultimate man cave strengthens the sense of attachment home-owners have with their homes.

But few home renova-tion projects go from start to finish without experi-encing a few bumps in the road along the way. Such bumps can be difficult to handle for homeowners working on their first reno-vation projects, but there are many ways for novices to navigate the sometimes murky waters of home improvement projects and come out relatively un-scathed on the other end, where a newly renovated home awaits.

• Plan well and know what to expect. When working with contractors, get all agreements in writ-ing and spell out exactly what you desire in a home renovation. Photo refer-

ences can help guide con-tractors and architects. Ask for the full picture of what can be expected with the work, from demolition to the punch list. Knowing what lies ahead can keep you grounded throughout the project.

• Discuss work each day and set payment schedules. Make payments contingent on work com-pleted. This can help keep contractors on schedule. Paying for all work upfront leaves homeowners at a disadvantage, as it does not provide incentive for work-

ers to be timely and effi-cient. Check in with work-ers to get daily progress reports.

• Have reasonable ex-pectations. A renovation project may exceed its bud-get and take longer than initially expected. Under-standing that these poten-tial setbacks might be part of the process will make it easier to handle them when the foreman speaks to you about any issues that arise.

• Accept the mess. Con-struction work is messy. There’s no way to main-tain a pristine house when contractors are entering and exiting all day. Dust is bound to be generated, and tools can fill up rooms. A home in disarray can be stressful, but continue to visualize the end result and the mess won’t bother you so much.

• Establish a contin-gency plan. Bathrooms and kitchen renovations are typically the most dis-ruptive home improvement projects. Going without a kitchen can make it dif-ficult to enjoy meals at home, while a bathroom re-model may require you to navigate water shutoffs. If your project is scheduled to take several months, estab-lish a contingency plan to deal with the consequences of your renovation project. Speak with family mem-bers about using some of their home amenities, and prepare and freeze meals in advance so you can reheat them later on when you don’t have access to your stove.

• Plan your escape. Sometimes the constant work and mess of con-struction is too much to bear. Afford yourself time away by visiting relatives or staying at a hotel. Even a single night away can provide the relief you need.

A home that is under-going a remodel can be a less than comfortable en-vironment. But homeown-ers who have never before lived through a renovation project can take several steps to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

’Tis the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting home supply re-tailers to buy everything from paint to plywood. There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own, including the opportunity to test your mettle at proj-ects big and small.

Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the fol-lowing are a handful of lessons first-timers can heed be-fore beginning their maiden voyages into the world of DIY home improvements.

• Measure twice, cut once. Perhaps this is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it. Whether you’re anxious to get started or simply because you still cannot convert metric to standard formula, you must take the time to measure twice before cutting. Learn-ing that you’re a hair too short later will be prove frustrat-ing and time-consuming and often necessitates a last-min-ute run to the store for more materials. Always measure multiple times before making cuts.

• Enlist a helper. Having a partner helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person can assist you with heavy lifting or moving things or by holding the ladder or simply passing tools your way. He or she also can manage work while you make another run to the home center for more supplies. Having a helper around also provides companionship during tedious proj-ects.

• Lighten the load. You run the risk of injury, both to yourself and your belongings, if you attempt to move heavy items on your own. When moving heavy items, take steps to lighten your load. For example, empty or remove drawers from desks and dressers before moving them.

Rely on sliding pads when moving furni-ture so items can be slid into place instead of lifted. Always ask a buddy to help move especially heavy items.

• Prime before painting. Painting can be a time-consuming task. In an effort to save time, some people will look for paint-ing shortcuts, and these may include skip-ping the priming portion of painting. Prim-ing helps to cover existing paint color and prevent bleed-through of stains or darker hues to the next coat of paint. Failure to use a primer could mean having to paint coat after coat, which can become costly and take up a significant amount of time. Always rely on a priming product, or look for a paint that blends a primer within to achieve better coverage. And while you are ensuring a proper paint job, remember to use painter’s tape or an edging product to help keep paint off of moldings and trim.

• Use the right tools. The right tools make work saf-er and easier. Think about how much faster you can cut through a tree trunk with a chainsaw rather than a hand-saw. Improvising or using the wrong tools for the job can cost you time and increase your risk of injury.

• Turn electricity off at the panel box. Be especially

cautious when working with electricity, turn-ing off the current. This means shutting down the power on the breaker box. A live wire can provide a minor shock or lead to serious injury. Take the extra time to ensure the power is off before work-ing with any exposed wir-ing.

• Expect the unex-pected. Although many renovation projects go off without a hitch, you never know what you might un-cover when you embark

on repairs or remodels. Homeowners have come across all sorts of hidden problems when doing seemingly minor repairs. Removal of drywall may uncover insect damage in beams or indications of water infiltration. Some people take down old paneling, only to discover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath. One repair project can run into another when home improvements are being made. Always leave breathing room in your budget and schedule extra time for unforeseen tasks as well.

COME IN AND SEE US ABOUT GETTING YOUR FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS COMPLETED

wallpaperwindow coverings | | |

As real estate prices continue to climb, the cost to trade up to a larger home is on the upswing across the country, espe-cially as markets remain hampered by tight inven-tory levels. Therefore, people are choosing to renovate their current homes instead of relocat-ing. While the hunt for more square footage can be challenging, home-owners shouldn’t feel like a costly second story or complete addition are the only options.

Here are five great ways to create or opti-mize space in your exist-ing home.

1. Finish an unfin-ished basement. A base-ment renovation can hold limitless potential and increase the resale value or income potential of your home. Think about the possibilities: a home theater, office, spare bed-room, basement apart-ment or recreation room. The key to doing it suc-cessfully is to focus on

what’s behind the walls, especially since mois-ture is a common issue in basements. Choosing the right insulation is critical. Look for products that are vapor permeable, dimen-sionally stable and mold and moisture resistant.

2. Create a more open-concept feel with light and color. If your home wasn’t blessed with towering windows, in-stalling French doors and pot lights can encourage light to travel more free-ly, creating the illusion of space. Likewise, choosing a paint color for walls, trim and moldings that is lighter and cooler in tone (think soft grays or blues) will help to reflect light and give the room a more open feel.

3. Remove non-load-bearing walls. Home-owners have the opportu-nity to rethink the layout of their home by remov-ing non-load-bearing walls. Removing struc-turally unnecessary walls can make your whole

home feel larger, improve flow, lighting and the function of your home.

4. Convert your ga-rage into usable living or work space. For many homeowners, the garage becomes an overflow room for storage –– and is often a walk-in headache. Convert your garage (or a portion of it) into an-other living space, guest bedroom or home office. Install carpet and qual-ity thermal insulation to block outdoor noise and keep in warmth.

5. Choose furniture and accessories careful-ly. Adopt a minimalist’s eye. Begin looking around your home for furniture or accessories that over-whelm the space. Inte-rior designers recommend choosing low-profile or small-scale furniture for rooms with less square footage. Dual-purpose items, such as ottomans with storage chests inside, are a budget-friendly way to save on space while staying organized.

While winter can test people’s patience, it also can be harsh on cars and trucks.

While the Canadian Automobile Asso-ciation notes that winter can wreak havoc on just about every part of a vehicle, there are some parts that seem to bear the brunt of Old Man Winter’s abuse. Properly ser-vicing and caring for a car or truck can help.

Drivers should take their vehicles for a tuneup and inspec-tion before wintry weather arrives. A mechanic will exam-ine the car battery and check antifreeze levels and make sure that the thermostat, defroster, brakes, and even wiper blades are working effectively. Have the tires inspected for adequate tread, which can make navigating roads safer. If the treads are worn, replace the tires.

• Check that all of the vehicle’s lights are operational so your car can be easily seen during inclement weather. Exchange your existing windshield washer fluid with one that will not freeze in cold conditions. Check the nozzles on the windshield-wash-

er system routinely and clear out any block-ages of ice or debris. While addressing windshield washer fluid, also replace worn out windshield wiper blades with ones that can withstand snow and icy weather.

• Have your tires’ alignment checked toward the end of winter or early spring. A season of traveling over pothole-ridden roads or hitting curbs buried under snow drifts can affect the alignment.

Similarly, inspect tires routinely, as weather changes can affect tire pressure and strength.

• Use a soft snow brush or a foam brush to clear snow off of the car. Avoid hard

plastic scrapers you might use on your windshield, as they can scratch painted surfaces.

• Try to park the vehicle in a garage or under a car port, each of which can protect cars and trucks from the often harsh ele-ments of winter.

Vehicles can be affected by the cold weather. Keep them running efficiently to prevent damage this winter.

Protect your vehicle from snow,ice and damage from the cold
