During New Homes Month in
April, the National Association of
Home Builders (NAHB) is shar-
ing with home buyers the most
popular features in new sin-
gle-family homes in 2014.
Builders from across the coun-
try were surveyed on what fea-
tures they were most likely to
include in a typical single-family
home this year, revealing that
convenience, livability and ener-
gy efficiency are top priorities.
Home builders are including
features that are practical and
functional for the daily lives of to-
days home buyers. The features
that are most likely to be includ-
ed in a typical single-family home
this year are:
A walk-in closet in the master
bedroom, low-e windows, a laun-
dry room and a great room.
Energy efficiency is a key
theme with Energy-Star rated
appliances, programmable ther-
mostats and Energy-Star rated
windows at the top of the list.
These features help make the
home more comfortable and can
save the home owner significant
money over the long term.
On a median per square-foot
basis, home owners spent 78
cents per square foot per year
on electricity, while owners of
new homes spent 65 cents per
square foot per year, according
to data from the 2009 American
Housing Survey (AHS).
Builders also list features such
as granite countertops, a dou-
ble sink and a central island as
winning elements in new-home
kitchens, and a linen closet and
a private toilet in the bathroom.
Additional features likely to be
included throughout the home
include first-floor ceilings at least
nine-feet high, a front porch, out-
door lighting and a patio.
Home buyers can access
home buying and home build-
ing information and resources
on NAHBs website at nahb.org/
forconsumers.

In Consumer Reports tests of
nearly 40 lawn mowers, models
from Honda and Toro led the
pack for getting most lawns back
into shape after a brutal winter.
The full report on lawn mowers
and lawn care, which also in-
cludes Ratings of tractors and
riders, string trimmers, and the
best leaf blowers, plus ways to
save money on lawn care, and
more is featured in the May 2014
issue of Consumer Reports and
at www.ConsumerReports.org.
A great-looking lawn is easy
if you have the right tools, said
Peter Sawchuk, test program
leader for home improvement
at Consumer Reports. The best
mowers and riding machines can
help get a lawn back into shape
in time for summer.
In the self-propelled, gas-pow-
ered mower category the type
of mower most people buy
models from Honda and Toro
earned Consumer Reports high-
est scores, including the Honda
HRR2169VKA, $400, and the
Toro 20381, $520, which were
both CR Best Buys. The Cub
Cadet SC100 11A-A92J, $250,
also a CR Best Buy, topped the
gas push-mower category and
the Ego, LM2000, $500, earned
the highest scores among the
electric battery mowers tested.
While most lower-scoring
lawn mowers Consumer Re-
ports tested performed passably,
several left ugly clumps in their
wake, including two models from
Earthwise (a plug-in mower and
a self-propelled cordless) and a
gas-push version from Murray.
Five ways to save on
lawn care
In addition to putting the tools
needed to keep a lawn looking its
best to the test, Consumer Re-
ports has outlined some simple
fixes for the most common lawn
problems, the dos and donts of
lawn fertilizers, and these five
lawn-maintenance tips that will
help save money:
Add compost. This will im-
prove soil and help eliminate
pests and diseases, which
means less money spent on fer-
tilizer and water.
Water wisely. Water estab-
lished lawn thoroughly once a
week (early morning is best) with
about 1 inch of water; spread
a few 1-inch deep empty tuna
cans as a makeshift measuring
device.
Mulch, dont bag. Grass
clippings are a free source of
slow-release fertilizer, so let the
mower discharge the clippings
back onto the grass while mow-
ing; it can cut fertilizer costs
and reduce the need to water
by up to 30 percent.
Try low-maintenance grass.
Slow-growth, drought-resistant
grass species save water, fertil-
izer and time; a local cooperative
can help determine the right spe-
cies for the climate.
Maintain mowers and tractors.
Sharp blades cut more quickly
and cleanly, and along with basic
engine maintenance, can reduce
fuel costs by up to 25 percent.
Dull blades also stress grass,
making it more susceptible to
disease.
The full report and Ratings of
lawn mowers, tractors and riders,
and string trimmers, plus a win-
ners list of top-scoring leaf blow-
ers, is featured in the 2014 May
issue of Consumer Reports and
at www.ConsumerReports.org.

Bulbs
Start planting summer bulbs in May.
Some favorites are gladiolus, dahlias, calla
lilies, caladiums, alstroemeria, lilies, crocos-
mia and tuberous begonias.
Trees
It is best to plant while plants are still
dormant so that the root system is not
disrupted. Do not fertilize new trees. You
can fertilize next year lightly. Never fertilize
when the temperatures are above 85 de-
grees. First-year trees will need special care
when the weather turns hot. You will want
to provide deep watering every week unless
we have a good rain. An established tree
will need watering under drought conditions.
Perennials
The better you prepare the soil at
planting, the better chance you have of
your plant surviving. Include fertilizer in
soil preparation process by mixing fertilizer
in the soil you replace in the hole before
planting your plant. Transplanting and divi-
sion of summer and fall flower perennials
can be done if necessary. Spring flowering
perennials can be divided or cut back after
flowering.
Vegetables
After May 15 you can plant your
warm-season crops such as tomatoes,
peppers, and eggplants. If you are trans-
Rutgers Cooperative Extension
offers spring lawn and garden tips
Start planting summer bulbs such as
gladiolus in May.
planting seedlings from indoors, remember
to harden off the plants before placing them
directly in the garden. A side dressing of
fertilizer is beneficial in the middle of the
growing season. Water all transplants at
planting. If you are direct seeding vegeta-
bles (cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash,
green beans, etc) you will need to water
daily until germination. Taper off watering
after germination.
Lawns
After May 1, is it too late to do any
seeding. Cool season grasses are growing
rapidly and need to be mowed. Never cut
below 3 inches. Grubs may be feeding, but
you will have to wait until mid-July to August
for effective treatment. Chinch bugs may
be seen. Control in late May to early June.
When using insecticides, remember to
follow all directions on the label and be sure
the product includes the insect on the label.
As with all of our gardening tips, contact
our Master Gardener Helpline with any of
your gardening questions at 609-625-0056.
Whether in an urban, suburban or rural
landscape, tending the home or garden
comes with a number of challenges involv-
ing insects, weeds, trees, shrubs, turf and
critters. New Jersey residents spend sig-
nificant time and money coping with these
challenges, but not alone, thanks to the
vast array of services offered by Rutgers
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
Cooperative Extension, a unit of the exper-
iment station, serves homeowners through
factsheets, master gardener hotlines,
workshops, and services that test soil and
diagnose plant disease.
While extension personnel and master
gardeners are on the frontlines providing in-
formation to residents, Rutgers researchers
are working behind the scenes developing
plant and turf varieties that are more resis-
tant, drought tolerant, or environmentally
friendly by requiring less input.
See more information at http://njaes.
rutgers.edu/garden.
Not all insects are harmful. When using insecticides, be sure the product is meant to
control the insects you intend to affect.

Spring is almost here and many
consumers are getting ready to re-
model, repair, or just spruce up their
home as part of spring cleaning. Some
tasks can be accomplished with simple
elbow grease, but other more difficult
or complex chores may require home
owners to engage the services of a
contractor.
The Better Business Bureau advises
consumers to take the time to choose
a contractor they can trust and offers
the following tips:
Start with Trust. Contractors that ask
for payment up front, perform low-qual-
ity workmanship, refuse refunds and
fail to address issues are common
complaints BBB receives. Homeown-
ers can avoid these companies by do-
ing their homework online through the
BBB to find accredited contractors and
remodeling businesses in the area.
Check references. BBB recommends
asking all contractors to provide local
references and finding out if those
customers were satisfied with the
contractors work. If possible, consum-
ers should visit and inspect completed
projects. BBB advises consumers to
avoid using unlicensed contractors.
Get more than one bid. Solicit at
least three bids from prospective
contractors. It is important to discuss
bids in detail with each contractor and
make certain to understand the rea-
sons for any variations in price.
Verify insurance coverage. Ask
contractors if the company is insured
against claims covering workers
compensation, property damage and
personal liability in case of accidents.
BBB advises verifying the contractors
insurance coverage after obtaining the
name of the carrier and agency.
Get it in writing. Make certain you
understand the terms and conditions
of any contract. Any verbal promises
should be in writing and the contract
should at a minimum specify the work
to be done, materials to be used,
start and completion dates, payment
schedules, guarantees, debris removal
and your right to cancel. Never sign a
partial or blank contract.
Know your rights. If you hire a
contractor, pay by check or credit card
when the work is completed to your
satisfaction. If you are dealing with a
traveling contractor, be extra cautious
and make sure to ask for identification
and note the license plate number on
the contractors vehicle.
If you get buyers remorse, you
may be able to change your mind after
the contract is signed. The Federal
Trade Commission and many states
have a three-day cooling off rule for
in-home purchases.

A homes curb appeal is cru-
cial because it can be the first
thing buyers notice about a home.
Thats why Realtors rated exterior
projects among the most valu-
able home improvement projects
in the 2014 Remodeling Cost vs.
Value Report. Projects such as
entry door, siding and window
replacements can recoup home-
owners more than 78 percent of
costs upon resale.
NARs website HouseLogic.
com highlights the results of the
report in its Best Bets for Re-
modeling Your Home in 2014
slideshow. The site also provides
information and advice on various
home improvement projects, in-
cluding a guide to kitchen remod-
eling with the best payback and
dozens of exterior replacement
projects.
Realtors judged a steel entry
door replacement as the project
expected to return the most mon-
ey, with an estimated 96.6 percent
of costs recouped upon resale.
The steel entry door replacement
is consistently the least expensive
project in the annual Cost vs. Val-
ue Report, costing little more than
$1,100 on average.
Eight of the top 10 most cost-ef-
fective projects nationally, in terms
of value recouped, are exterior
projects. A wood deck addition
came in second with an estimat-
ed 87.4 percent of costs recouped
upon resale. Two different siding
replacement projects also landed
in the top 10, including fiber-ce-
ment siding, expected to return 87
percent of costs, and vinyl siding,
expected to return 78.2 percent of
costs.
Out of the top 10 projects, the
fiber-cement siding replacement
project improved the most since
last year, with costs recouped in-
creasing by more than 15 percent.
Two garage door replacements
were also in the top 10; a mid-
range garage door replacement
is expected to return 83.7 percent,
while an upscale garage door re-
placement follows closely at 82.9
percent of costs recouped.
Rounding out the top exterior
remodeling projects were two
window replacements; a wood
window replacement is estimated
to recoup 79.3 percent of costs
and a vinyl window replacement is
estimated to recoup 78.7 percent
of costs.
According to the report, two
interior remodeling projects in
particular can recoup substantial
value at resale. An attic bedroom
is ranked fourth and is expected
to return 84.3 percent of costs;
nationally, the average cost for the
project is just above $49,000. The
second interior remodeling project
in the top 10 is the minor kitchen
remodel. The project landed at
number seven and is estimated
to recoup 82.7 percent of costs.
Nationally, the average cost for the
project is just under $19,000. The
improvement project likely to return
the least is a home office remodel,
estimated to recoup 48.9 percent.
For the report, Realtors provid-
ed their insights into local markets
and buyer home preferences with-
in those markets. For 2014, the
national average cost-value ratio
stands at 66.1 percent, a jump of
5.5 points over last year and the
largest increase since 2005, when
the ratio increased 6.1 points to
reach a high of 86.7 percent.
For the second consecutive
year, Cost vs. Value data shows
that the value of remodeling is up
for all 35 projects included in the
survey. Additionally, for the first
time in four years, improved resale
value of residential housing had
more of an influence in the cost-val-
ue ratio than construction costs. A
modest 2.2 percent increase in av-
erage national construction costs
was more than offset by an 11.5
percent improvement in average
national resale value.
The 2014 Remodeling Cost vs.
Value Report compares construc-
tion costs with resale values for 35
midrange and upscale remodel-
ing projects comprising additions,
remodels and replacements in
100 markets across the country.

Spring has sprung, and there
are many activities to enjoy now
that the warmer weather has ar-
rived. Many homeowners make
the most of warmer weather by
tackling projects around their
properties.
While autumn is a better time to
overseed a lawn for new growth,
satisfactory results still can be had
if seeding is done early enough
in the spring. Grass needs ample
time to establish roots and grow
strong before the summer heat
takes its toll. Many types of grass
need six to 12 weeks of ideal tem-
peratures and growing conditions
to germinate and produce a sturdy
grass that will grow and endure.
Seeding can be done to reju-
venate an existing lawn and fill in
bare spots. It also can be done to
start a lawn from scratch. The fol-
lowing are some tips to help make
seeding projects more successful.
Begin by raking the lawn to re-
move thatch and any fallen leaves
leftover from autumn and winter.
Raking also enables you to in-
spect the lawn for bare patches or
matting of grass that may be indic-
ative of a fungus or other problem.
Dust off the mower and trim
the lawn short, especially if it was
left long at the end of last season.
This will help seed penetrate the
blades of grass and get to the soil
beneath.
High-traffic lawns may need
aeration to counteract compacted
soil. Moss on the ground is often
an indication of compaction. Aera-
tion will help with this problem, as
it pokes holes into the soil to en-
able oxygenation that keeps new
grass robust and promotes faster
growth. Lawn aerators can be
rented from many garden centers.
Spread a mixture of topsoil and
compost over the top of the lawn.
This will add nutrients through
organic matter to the lawn and
create a good base for the new
seed to take root. It will also help
strengthen any existing grass and
promote long-term health.
Test a sample of the soil to
check the pH. Grass prefers a
neutral pH, but some soil tends
to lean toward the acidic side, es-
pecially if you see the presence of
moss. Knowing the pH will help
determine just how much lime per
square foot you will need to adjust
it accordingly. Liming is a correc-
tive measure and does not need to
be used on a thriving lawn.
Invest in a spreader to add seed
to the lawn. The spreader will have
various settings that enable you to
calibrate the rate of seed disper-
sion depending on your walking
speed. Fill the spreader with seed
and begin to walk around the
lawn. Drop spreaders require you
to apply seed in rows with no over-
lap. Broadcast spreaders will cast
seed widely and may need some
overlap to guarantee complete
coverage.
Spread another thin layer of
compost mix over the seed and
water thoroughly. The compost
will help keep moisture in while the
seeds germinate.
Aim for lawn watering two to
three times per day. The seed
should be barely dry between
watering. After seeds have germi-
nated and established, you can re-
duce the frequency of watering but
increase the depth of the watering
to keep roots strong.
Avoid foot traffic on a newly
seeded lawn until the grass is well
established.
The basics of spring lawn seeding
Spring is the season to assess
lawn health and reseed as
needed for a healthy lawn.

Many homeowners do not think
twice about their roofs. But when
leaks develop, roof repairs and
the subsequent costs of such work
shed light on how important it is for
homeowners to pay closer atten-
tion to the roofs over their heads.
Though certain roof issues, like
shingles lost to inclement weather,
are unforeseeable, many problems
can be avoided with routine roof in-
spection. Checking roof conditions
twice a year can help homeowners
avoid potentially costly repair work
or even more expensive roof re-
placement projects.
Spring is a good time to inspect
roofs, which are often at the mercy
of harsh conditions throughout the
winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting
winds can do significant damage,
making spring the perfect time to
assess if any such damage oc-
curred and address any issues.
Before breaking out the ladder
and climbing up to the roof, inspect
the homes interior, pinpointing po-
tential problems that may indicate
roof damage. Check for stains on
the ceiling, which may indicate
leaks that need to be addressed.
Homeowners should check their
attics for signs of water damage,
noting any damp or wet insulation.
This will let you know if water has
been entering the attic all winter.
Pay attention to the location of
any wet spots or stains so you can
match them up to the exterior of the
roof later on.
Musty smells also may be indic-
ative of moisture problems, even if
there are no visible leaks.
Inspect the exterior of the roof
with binoculars. Look at the roof
flashing around the chimney and
other areas of protruding pipes and
vents. If the flashing is warped or
damaged, moisture might be set-
tling underneath. Sealant around
dormers or skylights can also de-
grade, resulting in leaks. Check for
spalling on masonry, such as the
mortar of chimneys. Porous areas
will allow water to infiltrate.
Go directly on the roof and
check. Work with a partner and
carefully climb on the roof while
someone holds the ladder below.
Walk on the perimeter of the roof,
looking for peeling or warped shin-
gles, missing shingles, holes, or
scrapes. If the roof is compromised
in any way, it will need to be re-
paired. The problem will only grow
more significant and repairs more
expensive if damage is ignored.
Sometimes a repair can be as
simple as patching a leak with a
new shingle and roofing cement.
Popped nails can be pounded
down and curled shingles can be
nailed or cemented back into place.
Consult a roofing expert. If you
would like a second opinion or if you
find there is considerable damage,
contact a roofing contractor. This
person will offer a professional as-
sessment of what can be repaired
or if the roof should be replaced. If
your roof is metal or features clay
tiles, you may not have the exper-
tise to make repairs yourself and
will need to hire a professional.
Check the gutters, too. While
you are up on the roof, inspect the
gutters and downspouts as well.
Cracked or damage gutters will
cause water to leak down the side
of the home, potentially damaging
the foundation. Clear any debris or
leftover leaves from the gutters to
ensure the rain can wash through
unobstructed.

Installing an asphalt or a con-
crete driveway can be an expen-
sive undertaking. To preserve the
fresh, new look of the driveway,
have the driveway sealed and
then routinely seal it to keep it
looking pristine.
A good sealant can keep a
driveway looking new longer
and also can rejuvenate the ap-
pearance of an older driveway.
Sealant can be compared to car
wax. It provides an outer coat-
ing that will repel stains, stop UV
rays from fading the driveway and
help to protect against cracks and
driveway degradation.
Over time, asphalt driveways
will begin to fade in color and the
stone and rocks used in the as-
phalt mix will appear more prom-
inent. By sealing the driveway, a
homeowner can maintain its origi-
nal dark color.
Another reason to seal a drive-
way is to reduce the chance of
freeze-thaw damage. This type of
damage results when water pene-
trates the surface of the driveway
and then expands as it freezes.
The expansion can cause cracks
and fissures, as well as com-
promise the soil underneath the
driveway, making it sink or be-
come unstable. Sealed driveways
help to keep water beading on
the surface of the driveway, rath-
er than being absorbed into the
driveway material. When water no
longer beads on the driveway, this
is often an indicator that the drive-
way needs to be resealed.
There are some guidelines to
follow when sealing driveways.
When starting, sealant should
not be applied immediately after
the driveway is poured. Concrete
needs to cure for a period of up to
one month before sealant should
be applied. Fresh asphalt con-
tains oils that eventually evap-
orate. The oils are what makes
fresh asphalt pliable and soft.
Once these oils evaporate, the
asphalt gets harder and more du-
rable. Sealers can prevent evapo-
ration and may make the asphalt
permanently soft.
After the initial base application
of sealant, the driveway should
only be sealed every two to three
years, depending on its condition.
Sealants are just coatings, and
adding too many layers can cause
the sealant coatings to crack and
peel away.
Sealing a driveway is a labor-in-
tensive process thats best left to
professionals. These profession-
als have the knowledge of tech-
nique and the right tools to get an
even, thin coating of sealant. Re-
member, a driveway should not
be walked or driven on for a min-
imum of 24 hours after sealant is
applied. Weather conditions also
can influence the amount of time
it takes for the driveway to cure.
Having the driveway sealed
prolongs its durability and ap-
pearance. It also can make the
driveway less prone to staining
and cracking, making this project
a sound investment.
Sealing a driveway can extend its life
Driveway sealants preserve
the look of the driveway and
can make the surface durable
and impervious to stains.

The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agencys Energy
Star Program offers low to
no-cost energy-efficient cooling
tips to beat the heat. A typical
household spends almost 20
percent of its utility bill on cool-
ing, and by taking a few simple
steps this summer to improve
energy efficiency, you can save
energy, save money and help
fight climate change.
No-Cost
Program your thermostat
to work around your familys
summer schedule set it a
few degrees higher (such as
78 degrees) when no one is
home, so you aren't cooling an
empty house. With proper use,
programmable thermostats can
save you about $180 a year in
energy costs.
Check your HVAC systems
air filter every month. If the
filter looks dirty, change it, but
change the filter at least every
three months. A dirty filter will
slow air flow and make the
system work harder, wasting
energy.
Run your ceiling fan to create
a cool breeze. If you raise your
thermostat by only two degrees
and use your ceiling fan, you
can lower cooling costs by up
to 14 percent. Ceiling fans cool
people, not the room, so when
you leave the room make sure
to turn off the fan.
Close all curtains and
shades before you leave your
home to keep the suns rays
from overheating the interior of
your home. If you can, move
container trees and plants in
front of sun-exposed windows
to serve as shade.
Low-Cost
Remember to have your
HVAC system serviced annu-
ally to ensure its running at
optimum efficiency.
Swap out incandescent bulbs
with more energy-efficient light-
ing choices. Energy Star-qual-
ified lighting not only uses less
energy, it also produces about
75 percent less heat than in-
candescent lighting, so cooling
bills will be reduced, too.
Seal your air ducts. As
much as 20 percent of the air
moving through your homes
duct system is lost due to leaks
and poor connections. Seal
duct work using mastic sealant
or metal tape and insulate all
the ducts that you can access
(such as those in attics, crawl-
spaces, unfinished basements,
and garages).
Make sure that connections
at vents and registers are well-
sealed where they meet floors,
walls, and ceilings. These are
common locations to find leaks
and disconnected ductwork.
Other Tips
When buying a room air con-
ditioner, look for one that has
earned the Energy Star. If ev-
ery room air conditioner in the
United States were Energy Star
qualified, they would prevent
900 million pounds of green-
house gas emissions annually
equivalent to the emissions
from 80,000 cars.
Add insulation to your attic
to keep cool air in. If every
American household did so,
Americans would collectively
save more than $1.8 billion in
yearly energy costs.
Hire a contractor to seal and
EPA offers cooling tips
for every budget this summer
Add insulation to your attic to keep cool air in and save on air
conditioning costs.
insulate the interior ductwork in
your home (the ducts you cant
reach yourself). For help on
choosing the right contractor,
see www.energystar.gov/home-
improvement.
If your central air condition-
ing unit is more than 12 years
old, replacing it with a model
that has earned the Energy
Star could cut your cooling
costs by 30 percent.

Recent surveys show that the bathroom
has overtaken the kitchen as the most
frequently remodeled part of the home. But
unless your plumbing is wanting or your tile
is intolerable, you can often beautify the
bath simply by painting it.
In a lot a cases, people remodel the bath
not for functional reasons, but just to change
and enhance the appearance. If thats the
goal, it can almost always be achieved with
an attractive paint treatment, said Debbie
Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint
Quality Institute.
Fresh paint can enhance any room, but it
can work wonders in the bathroom.
Applying a light-colored paint scheme can
open up the room and make it seem more
spacious. Darker paint colors do just the
opposite: add intimacy.
Aside from lightness or darkness, there
are psychological considerations when
choosing a paint color for the bathroom.
Tints and tones of yellow, orange and red,
including some browns and tans, are warm
colors, which tend to arouse and stimulate
helpful in the morning, but not at bedtime.
Conversely, cool colors, especially greens
and blues, are calm and relaxing, creating a
peaceful spa-like ambience for a bath.
Warm and cool paint colors can also
affect our perception of room temperature.
Since we associate yellow and orange with
the sun, we may feel warmer when sur-
rounded by these hues, whereas a blue or
green space can seem cooler. As a result,
warm colors are often favored in colder
climes, and cool colors in the Sunbelt.
However, color isnt the only thing to
consider when painting a bathroom. The
typical bathroom is exposed to water, high
humidity, and significant wear and tear. For
that reason, its important to select paint that
produces a finish tough enough to stand up
to these conditions.
Until recently, that meant applying a coat
of latex primer, followed by two or even
more coats of top quality 100 percent acrylic
latex paint. But today, theres a quicker
and easier way to complete your bathroom
painting by using new paint and primer
products.
Paint and primer products also known
as self-priming paints are coatings with a
dual personality. Like primer, they conceal
the existing paint color, as well as many
marks; like paint, they form a tough, colorful
finish that is stain-resistant and washable.
Rather than taking the traditional ap-
proach by applying successive coats of
primer, paint, and paint, you can usually
complete a painting project with just two
coats of a paint and primer product, thereby
eliminating an entire application, saving lots
of time and effort in the process.
To get the best result when painting a de-
manding area like the bathroom, its wise to
choose a paint and primer product that will
produce a semi-gloss or high gloss finish.
The higher the sheen, the easier it will
be to remove any marks or stains that may
show up on the painted surface.
Its also very important to choose a paint
and primer product made with 100 percent
acrylic, the same tough binder used in the
highest quality traditional paints, Zimmer
said.
Paint and primer made with 100 percent
acrylic offers the best hiding and forms the
most durable painted surface. These are
especially important characteristics when
doing bathroom painting, she said.
If you want to give your bathroom an en-
tirely new appearance this year, maybe all
you really need is a colorful new paint treat-
ment. Its a quick and easy way to enhance
and beautify one of the most important
rooms in your home.

Spring cleaning plans are on the
minds of many once the weather warms
up. Many homeowners feel a sense of
renewal in the spring, when the desire to
clean house and get organized becomes
a priority.
Garages are often targets for home-
owners hoping to target clutter. Once a
space reserved for cars, garages are no
longer strictly for vehicles, used instead
to store items that simply do not fit inside
the home or a backyard shed. Organiz-
ing the garage is typically a weekend or
several-day project. Heres how to turn a
garage from a cluttered mess into a space
suited for storing items of all shapes and
sizes.
Enlist a helper. Organizing a garage is a
significant undertaking that is best tackled
with two or more people. Enlist a helper to
make the project less intimidating.
Decide what is important to keep. Start
the organization process by clearing out
the garage and taking inventory of what
you have. Items that have not been used
for several years can likely be tossed.
Make a pile of what will be kept and then
put the rest at the curb or donate useful
items to charity.
Give thought to where you want to store
particular items. Tools and items that are
used more often should be stored within
reach or where easily visible, while items
that are not used as frequently can be
stored higher up. Think about how you
operate in the garage. Recycling bins can
be stored closer to the door into the home,
while bicycles and skates can be nearer to
the garage door for easy access.
Group like items together. Categorize
items that will be kept. Garden tools,
camping gear, sporting equipment, and
automotive supplies should be catego-
rized and stored in their own areas of the
garage, determining if certain items can be
stored inside the home to free up garage
space. Grouping items together will make
them easier to locate in the garage.
Move boxed items into clear storage
containers. Its much easier to see what
you have when it is stored in clear contain-
ers. Some containers are interlocking or
stackable, making it much more conve-
nient to store items vertically and free up
more floor space.
Invest in vertical storage systems. Mov-
ing items from the floor and putting them
on shelving or behind cabinets can make
Make a plan for garage organization
Tools and items that are used more often should
be stored within reach or where easily visible.
the garage more organized. Hooks and bins also
can be used. Employ a peg board full of hooks for
oft-used tools or other items you need at the ready.
Leave space for hobby and work areas. Garages
are where many improvement projects begin or
where hobbies, such as woodworking or craft-
ing, take place. Leave space for these tasks and
hobbies.
Give the space a fresh coat of paint. Some
garages are dingy and dark. Bright paint on the
walls and floor can open up the space and, when
combined with more lighting, can make it lighter
and brighter.
Garage organization is a common spring clean-
ing project. But it shouldnt be reserved for this
season alone. Periodic checks of the garage and
straightening up can keep a garage clean and or-
ganized throughout the entire year and make yearly
spring cleaning much more manageable.

Tis the season for home improvement proj-
ects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting
home supply retailers 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
projects big and small.
Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups
and downs of home improvement through tri-
al and error. But the following are a handful of
lessons first-timers can heed before 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 youre 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.
Learning that youre a hair too short later will
be prove frustrating and time-consuming and
often necessitates a last-minute 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. Hav-
ing a helper around also provides companion-
ship during tedious projects.
Lighten the load. You run the risk of injury,
both to yourself and your belongings, if you at-
tempt 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 furniture 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 painting shortcuts,
and these may include skipping the priming
portion of painting. Priming helps to cover ex-
isting 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 be-
come 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
painters tape or an edging product to help
keep paint off of moldings and trim.
Use the right tools. The right tools make
work safer and easier. Think about how much
faster you can cut through a tree trunk with a
chainsaw rather than a handsaw. 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 es-
pecially cautious when working with electricity,
turning 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 working with any exposed wiring.
Expect the unexpected. Although many
renovation projects go off without a hitch, you
never know what you might uncover when you
embark on repairs or remodels. Homeowners
have come across all sorts of hidden problems
when doing seemingly minor repairs. Remov-
al of drywall may uncover insect damage in
beams or indications of water infiltration. Some
people take down old paneling, only to discov-
er it was covering heavily damaged walls be-
neath. 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.

After a long winter of snow
and ice, many people are ready
for the warmth and sunshine
synonymous with spring. But
dirty windows can block that
sunshine from finding its way
into a home.
Washing windows can be
quite an undertaking, particularly
in those homes with many win-
dows on multiple levels. Howev-
er, there are several time-saving
tips available that can cut the
work considerably.
Save window washing for
a cloudy day. Otherwise, the
warmth and sunlight may dry the
cleaning solution too quickly and
you will be left with streaks on
your windows.
Vacuum windowsills and
tracks first to remove a good
deal of dust and debris. This will
reduce the amount of dirt you
smear onto the windows while
cleaning them.
Use a combination of a
sponge soaked in cleaning solu-
tion and a squeegee to get real-
ly clean windows. The squeegee
helps to prevent streaks and
cut down on the time it takes
the windows to dry, all the while
helping the windows to sparkle.
Window screens may be the
culprit behind dingy windows.
Hose down the screens with
water to clean them, using a
mild cleaning solution if water is
ineffective.
Working with a partner can
make the task go much more
quickly. One person can clean
the exteriors of the windows
while the other does the interi-
ors.
A mild dishwashing liquid
diluted in water can cut through
dirt and grime. For stubborn
dirt, wash windows with diluted
ammonia or vinegar.
Use a glass-cleaning tool to
clean hard-to-reach windows.
A telescoping cleaning tool and
pad can make it safer to reach
windows that are high up.
Following some time-saving tips can cut the work of washing
windows considerably.

When yet another storm brings distress
into your yard in the form of large branches
and even entire trees that have broken and
fallen into your world view, its best to think
before your dig out your brothers old chain
saw.
The first question should be, Am I capa-
ble of removing this large tree/limb myself or
should I seek professional help?
Major tree-damage cleanup will un-
doubtedly require the use of a chain saw
and climbing equipment. Unless you are
experienced in the use of such equipment
and comfortable working off the ground, it
would be best to have the work performed by
a competent professional.
Wind places loads on trees, including
trunks, branches and roots, leading to higher
stress. The varying lengths and sizes of tree
branches tend to dampen the overall effects
of wind; however, as wind speeds increase,
the loads placed on stress points within the
tree increase exponentially. When the loads
exceed trunk, branch or root strength, vari-
ous types of failures occur.
It might be tempting to get out there with
your brothers old chain saw and do the work
yourself. And this is where many homeown-
ers get into trouble. Run an Internet search
for videos of tree cutting gone wrong to see
just what can happen.
Professionally trained tree workers
know what to look out for. There could be
overhead and/or nearby electrical wires
that create potential hazards and limit the
options for tree cutting. Torn, hanging limbs
overhead could make it extremely danger-
ous to cut downed limbs underneath them.
Most chain saw work on large limbs or
trees requires the experience of a trained
operator to prevent injuries. Wood under
tension (one or both ends of the fallen tree
or branch pinned under other branches or
debris) can have different types of binds at
different places. Releasing that tension with
chain saw cuts is extremely dangerous and
can seriously or fatally, harm the chain saw
operator.
Uprooted root plates or root balls are
unpredictable. Cutting the trunk of a fallen
tree from an uprooted plate releases the
pressure holding the root plate. The roots are
still anchored and may have enough tension
that they will pull the stump and root ball
back into the hole. It could suddenly sit back
into the root hole, trapping anything nearby
underneath it.
Slope and uneven footing surfaces are
also dangerous while operating a chain saw.
Cutting branches on the ground can
cause you to bury the saw bar in the dirt
or hit hidden obstacles, causing chain saw
kickback.
Many homeowners injured doing their
own tree work were working alone at the
time, significantly lengthening emergency
response time and hospital stays. If you do
choose to do tree work, always have at least
one other person work with you. In case you
get trapped or injured, theres someone to
call for help.
Removing large, fallen trees should
always be done by an experienced profes-
sional. A professional arborist can determine
the best way to accomplish the task at hand,
and has the experience and proper equip-
ment to do the job. And in doing so, they just
may prevent an injury or even save a life.
Contact the Tree Care Industry Association
(TCIA), a public and professional resource
on trees and arboriculture since 1938. It has
more than 2,000 member companies who
recognize stringent safety and performance
standards and who are required to carry
liability insurance.
TCIA has the nations only Accreditation
program that helps consumers find tree care
companies that have been inspected and
accredited based on: adherence to industry
standards for quality and safety; mainte-
nance of trained, professional staff; and
dedication to ethics and quality in business
practices.

The dos and donts of basement nishing
An unfinished basement allows homeowners to transform the
room into anything they desire. But there are some dos and
donts to finishing a basement, including ensuring the project
adheres to local building codes.
Remodeling a basement is a
popular home improvement proj-
ect. A finished basement makes
the space more functional and,
when done correctly, can add
a considerable amount of living
space to a home.
Finishing a basement pays
dividends in additional space
in a home that doesnt require
the same level of investment as
putting an addition on the house.
Also, the groundwork for a fin-
ished room is already there, as
most basements are already set
up with a poured concrete floor
and some walls, usually cinder
blocks. Some electrical compo-
nents, plumbing and the creature
comforts of drywall and a more
inviting floor might be all thats
necessary to finish a basement.
The process can be labor-in-
tensive, and many people prefer
to leave it to a professional
contractor. Whatever finishing
method is chosen, homeowners
should follow the proper proce-
dures when doing the work.
DO start with a detailed plan.
Measure out the basement and
mark any items that cannot
be moved, such as a furnace,
water heater or pipes. Create a
design board that showcases
the materials you plan to use on
the project. Think about ways
you plan to arrange furniture and
consider all of the possible uses
for the room. Will it be a home
theater? Will someone be sleep-
ing down there? Each scenario
will require certain amenities and
safety requirements.
DONT plan to finish the entire
basement. Doing so will leave
you without a storage or utility
area where you house holiday
decorations, tools, luggage and
similar items.
DO get the scoop on build-
ing codes. Knowing what the
municipality allows in basement
remodeling will help you to cus-
tomize a plan that is functional,
safe and legal. No one wants to
be slapped with fines for failing
to follow the rules. Plus, failure to
meet building codes could mean
the work that has been done
must be torn out and redone. It
pays to follow the chain of com-
mand and secure permits while
having all work inspected.
DONT overlook adequate
lighting in your refinishing plan.
A basement is likely one area
of the house that has limited
natural light pouring in. With
traditionally small windows, or
no windows at all, a basement
needs ample lighting in its de-
sign scheme. This may include
a combination of overhead and
task lighting. Ample lighting will
help the room feel like part of the
house and not just a forgotten
storage area.
DO take into consideration
moisture issues in the basement.
Many basements are plagued
by moisture issues ranging from
water seepage to condensa-
tion forming on walls. These
situations may vary depending
on the weather throughout the
year. Certain materials may
need to be used to mitigate
water issues before finishing can
take place. The installation of
water-barrier systems, drainage,
sump pumps, or encapsulation
products could drive up the cost
of a basement renovation. It is
essential to have a professional
assess the basement water
issues prior to starting any finish-
ing work.
DONT simply cover up
potential hazards, such as mold
or mildew. Have them treated
instead. Otherwise, you could
have a breeding ground behind
drywall that could lead to unsafe
conditions in the home.
DO have a radon test. Radon
is a hidden killer that can cause
lung cancer. Because it occurs
naturally in the soil and water
surrounding a home and is
impossible to detect without a
specialized test, many people
are unaware of the presence of
radon until it is too late. Radon
may be more concentrated in the
basement, where the foundation
is touching the soil. Therefore,
rule out radon before consider-
ing renovation of a basement
area.
DONT limit furniture choices
to one type. You may need to be
flexible in your furniture choices,
even selecting modular pieces,
like sectionals, because entry-
ways to basements may have
small doorways or obstructions
that make adding furniture more
challenging.
DO keep the possibility of
flooding in the back of your
head. Homes that are near wa-
terways or at low elevation may
be at risk of flooding. Basements
are especially susceptible to
flood damage. Therefore, think
about the practicality of finishing
a basement if you are prone to
flooding.
If you decide to move ahead,
take certain precautionary mea-
sures, such as keeping electrical
wiring up higher and using a
more water-resistant flooring
material, like tile or vinyl. House
important electronics and items
on shelves so they are not at
ground-level.
Finishing a basement is a
job that can add a lot of usable
space to a home. Go about the
project in the right way to keep
within budget and have a room
that is safe and functional.

Home ownership can be an
unending series of adventures,
especially for those home-
owners who love good home
improvement projects. Some
projects are fun and improve
the value of a home instantly,
while others are undertaken to
address a potentially serious
issue.
Discovering that termites are
taking up residence where you
live can be disconcerting, but
termites are a very common
occurrence. Understanding ter-
mites and recognizing the signs
of termite damage early on can
help homeowners reduce the
havoc that such critters can
wreak on their homes.
Termites are social insects
that live together in colonies.
These colonies eat nonstop,
dining on wood and other cel-
lulose plant matter. They also
eat materials made from plants,
like fabric and paper.
According to the National
Pest Management Association,
termites cause more than $5
billion in property damage a
year. Studies show that queen
termites can live for decades
under ideal climate conditions
while workers and soldiers
live approximately one to two
years.
While there are many vari-
eties of termites, all are silent
destroyers capable of chewing
undetected through housing
structures. To eradicate ter-
mites, homeowners must first
identify the insects and then
contact a termite management
specialist to address the pest
problem.
Spotting termites
Termites may not always be
visible. Subterranean termite
homes are usually formed in
soil, where the termites build
elaborate tunnel systems that
channel through to above-
ground food sources. Drywood
and dampwood termites may
live within the wood they
consume and be undetectable
until the wood collapses or rots
away.
Homeowners often realize
Recognizing termite damage and how to address it
Termites are social insects that live together in
colonies. These colonies eat nonstop, dining on
wood and other cellulose plant matter.
At right, termite damage is evident on the
wooden siding of a home. In most cases,
however, termites do not advertise their
presence, remaining within the wood they
consume until it collapses or rots away.
they have a termite problem
when they witness swarming
termites. At this point there
already may be a mature colony
at work damaging a home.
Swarming, winged termites form
in a mature, established colony.
Winged termites emerge
and fly off looking for mates.
Afterward they will locate a new
breeding site and form another
colony, potentially spreading
infestations through multiple
locations. Winged termites are
attracted to light and can be
seen by windows and doors in
spring.
Other signs of termites
include accumulation of soil
or dirt at the base of wood
structures or the foundation
of a home. There also may be
fissures or cracks near wood
surfaces. Sometimes frass or
termite droppings can be seen.
They appear as rough, granu-
lated sawdust.
Covered mud tubes, or
channels of mud leading from
the soil up the foundation of
a home, are indicative of the
presence of termites. Even if
termites are no longer present
in these tubes, that does not
mean the termites have moved
on. They simply may have cho-
sen a new path to your home.
Keeping termites away
Once termites have been
identified, it is time to eliminate
them. This means getting rid of
water and food sources that are
close to a home.
Repair leaky faucets and
other water drips in and around
the house.
Keep gutters and down-
spouts clean.
Seal entry points around
water and utility lines or pipes.
Divert water away from the
foundation.
Keep lumber, firewood or
paper away from the foundation
of the home.
Clear away stumps and tree
debris.
Prevent untreated wood from
contacting the soil.
Treating termites
It is very difficult for home-
owners to get rid of termites
by themselves. Very often they
require the work of profession-
als. A termite exterminator will
conduct a visual inspection of
a home and property and may
do extensive testing involving
expensive acoustic or infrared
equipment to probe the soil
beneath the house.
Depending on the species
of termite, the exterminator will
suggest various treatments.
These may include the applica-
tion of pesticides and making
areas around the home less
hospitable to termites. Severely
damaged wood may need to be
removed and replaced.
Termites are problematic in
many areas of the world. These
insects often stay hidden and
do serious damage that can
cost homeowners a fortune.
Treating termites promptly is
essential.

Myth: Carpeting contributes to
allergens constantly circulating
throughout the home.
Fact: Carpeting is actually
better at trapping allergens
and dust in its fibers than
smooth-surface floors. That
means that with carpeting there
are fewer particles airborne and
circulating. Regular vacuuming
can remove trapped allergens.
Myth: Carpets pose signifi-
cant health risks.
Fact: Extensive toxicological
assessments of the compo-
nents of carpet have been
studied through the years.
There has been no conclusive
evidence that carpets present
any health risk, particularly of a
carcinogenic nature.
Myth: Carpet is a source of
indoor air quality problems.
Fact: Regular cleaning and
vacuuming of carpet reduc-
es the number of allergens
Debunking common myths about carpeting
Carpeting is better at keeping allergens out of the air than
smooth-surface floors.
contained within, which makes
carpet no more likely to contrib-
ute to air quality issues than any
other type of flooring.
Myth: Carpet has formalde-
hyde in it.
Fact: Formaldehyde was
removed from the carpet-man-
ufacturing process in 1978. It is
unlikely anyone still has original
carpeting from 35 years ago,
and even if that is the case,
the formaldehyde would have
dissipated by now.
Myth: Carpeting is made from
a host of chemical products.
Fact: Carpeting is made
largely from nylon, wool, poly-
propylene and polyester. These
are the same materials used in
clothing, which spends hours
resting against the skin. Poly-
propylene is one of the safer
plastics that does not contain
BPA and is even used in some
baby bottles.
Myth: Mold grows regularly on
carpeting.
Fact: Unless you have a
flood or a leak that is keeping
carpeting saturated, mold will
not grow during regular use.
Elevated humidity levels in a
home also may contribute to
mold growth. Mold is typically
a result of a moisture issue.
Remove the moisture and you
remove the mold.
Myth: Thicker carpeting will
wear longer and better.
Fact: It is not the thickness or
plushness of the carpeting, but
the density of the fibers that will
be a telling clue of durability.
This means a relatively thin
carpet that is woven densely
will likely last quite a while.
Myth: Carpeting can never be
truly clean.
Fact: No surface can be 100
percent free from dirt. But with
proper cleaning, carpeting can
be just as clean as other floor-
ing materials.
Many people would like to
have carpeting in their homes
but are deterred by a handful
of enduring myths. Knowing
the facts can help homeowners
make more informed decisions
regarding flooring materials.
When choosing carpet for durability, examine the density of the
fibers, not the thickness or plushness of the carpet pile.
Carpeting has long been a reliable flooring option to keep
rooms looking good and feeling comfortable underfoot.
Theres something to be said about having a plush, warm
cushion on the floors of a home. Carpeting can help buffer
sounds and minimize injuries from falls. Walking around on
a padded surface may minimize back and joint pain as well
as feel more comfortable when going barefoot.
Despite all of the advantages to carpeting, some people
continue to avoid it for a variety of reasons, many of which
are rooted in myth. The following are a few of the more com-
mon myths associated with carpeting.
Steps to take before erecting a fence
Fences serve many purpos-
es on a property and can even
add visual appeal and value to
a home. A fence can effectively
delineate property borders, serve
as a safety barrier and keep pets
and children from wandering into
the street.
According to Zillow, an online
real estate database, erecting a
fence on a property in an area
where fences are common usu-
ally increases the value of the
home, putting it in line with sim-
ilar properties nearby. However,
this may only be the case if the
fence is installed profession-
ally and matches other fences
throughout the neighborhood.
Homeowners planning to install
a fence should rst secure a copy
of their property surveys. A sur-
vey of the property is often con-
ducted upon purchasing a home
and/or when the land and home
is being assessed. If you do not
have a survey, you can hire a pro-
fessional to conduct one.
The survey will be handy be-
cause it clearly marks property
lines. Depending on the local
regulations, fences may need
to be installed a certain number
of inches or feet within the prop-
erty line. Your municipality and
building code ofce will be able
to guide you further as to what is
legal. Reputable fencing compa-
nies that work in the community
should also have a good under-
standing of fencing regulations.
A permit is typically needed to
install a fence. Either your con-
tractor or you will need to apply
for the permit before construction
can begin. It is best to follow the
law so that the fence can be in-
stalled in a manner that is con-
sistent with local regulations and
will not be subject to potentially
costly removal.
As a courtesy, speak with your
neighbors about your fencing
plans. The fence will separate
your properties from one anoth-
er, and your neighbors may have
certain feelings about what they
want to look at. Even if a neigh-
bor is not sharing the cost, it is
a good idea to discuss fencing
with your neighbors in an effort
to reduce the likelihood of con-

properties from one another, and your neighbors may have certain feelings about what they want
to look at.
ict down the road. Fences have
been points of contention be-
tween neighbors, and you dont
want a previously amicable rela-
tionship to turn sour.
In some instances, neighbors
will be excited about the pros-
pect of a fence and may want
to share the cost. Fencing con-
tractors may offer discounts for
multi-home installations, so it
pays to inquire with the neigh-
bors for that reason alone.
Homes with pools may need
fences as a safety precaution.
Be sure they t the protocol.
They may need self-latching/
locking gates to prevent entry to
the yard.
A fence can be a good invest-
ment, but homeowners must
take the appropriate legal mea-
sures and consider their neigh-
bors before erecting any fences.

People who are in the process of selling
a home should be prepared for a thorough
home inspection, according to RealtyPin.
com, a listing and search service for real
estate buyers and sellers.
Smart buyers will make their offer con-
tingent on the home passing an inspec-
tion, the site says. Sure, a home may look
ne to the casual observer, but do you
know what could be lurking underneath
that fresh coat of paint or those new roof
tiles?
An inspector will. Sellers need to be
prepared for these four issues:
Mold
You cant always see it, but if mold is
lingering in your home, a good inspector
will nd it and most buyers will proba-
bly run in the opposite direction. Mold
isnt just expensive to get rid of; it is also
dangerous. Some forms of it can even be
toxic.
Rot
Rot is never good, because its a sign
that something is, or once was, wet. Even
if mold didnt develop, theres a chance
the structure isnt as strong as it was be-
fore it rotted meaning someone will have
to put in some major work just to make the
home safe. One of the worst places for rot
to pop up is on the roof. A good inspector
will take a long look at your roof shingles
(and your chimney, if you have one) to see
if anything looks out of place. Odds are a
buyer wont agree to buy your house un-
til you make the necessary repairs or,
theyll want a major discount on the asking
price.
Electrical issues
You normally think of electrical prob-
lems popping up in older houses, where
the wiring is old, but the appliances and
light xtures arent. However, electrical is-
sues can pop up anywhere, in any house.
A good inspector will take an extra-long
look at the electrical outlets in the bath-
rooms and kitchen. Those outlets that are
close to water are required to have ground
fault circuit interrupters. If they dont,, or if
they dont work properly, the home may
not pass inspection.
Drainage woes
Drainage problems are sometimes
thought of as a minor inconvenience, but
if water sits around long enough, it can
damage a homes foundation meaning
the entire structural integrity of the house
can be at stake. A good inspector will look
at everything that drains around the home,
from the septic system to the gutters. Any
one of them can cause a major drainage
problem, and you might not even know it
until an inspector points it out.
Sellers should be prepared for a home inspection

ing a home should be prepared for a

Homeowners who want their homes to make strong rst impres-
sions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell
well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb
appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of
ways to improve the appearance of your home.
1. Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant color or one with a custom
design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the
neighborhood.
2. Edge the driveway to create a distinct border between the drive-
way and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes
appear neat and well kept.
3. Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor
lighting also makes properties safer to traverse at night.
4. Clean a homes exterior to remove mildew or discolorations from
the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements.
5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color.
Homeowners without the time to plant can consider container gar-
dens, which dont take much time to assemble but still add appeal to
a homes exterior.
6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color.
7. Add shutters and accent trim to a homes exterior to improve on
the beauty of the house.
8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an
existing fence.
9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make en-
tryways more impressive and inviting.
Nine ways to improve
your home's curb appeal
Installing a bold-looking door helps the home stand out from
other properties in the neighborhood.
