Experts Provide Solutions For Your Everyday Questions SIDING
Q
What curb appeal benefits does fiber cement siding provide?
HVAC
A
With the HardiePlank® line of siding, you have different options regarding design, including choosing vertical board and batten, horizontal or the shake style. You could
enhance curb appeal by adding shakes to accent a peak or using vertical siding to complement a bump out of the house. Of course, you could always add pediment tops and band detail to change the design pattern too.

Q
What can negatively affect my indoor air quality, and what can I do to protect it?
A
Indoor air contaminants can originate within your home or be drawn in from the outdoors.
Some examples of contaminants include pollen, Bill Mashraky dust, fungal spores, emissions from vehicles on nearby roads or parking lots, and standing water promoting excess microbial growth. If contaminant sources are not controlled, indoor air quality problems can arise, even if the HVAC system is properly designed and well-maintained. A high-efficiency filter and ultraviolet (UV) light will improve indoor air quality.

WATERPROOFING
Q
Besides professional waterproofing, what else can I do to control moisture in my basement?
A
If you don’t have controlled heating and air in your basement to help with moisture, then it is recommended
we install a commercialgrade ENERGY STAR®-rated dehumidifier. We will use one that is adequate to handle the square footage,
pulls the excess moisture out of the air and can control the humidity levels.
