Advice from Angie’s List Ten rules for a home improvement contract

By Angie Hicks Having a contract that clearly spells out the details of the job is crucial for both the homeowner and contractor doing the work for any major home improvement project. “It’s protection for both the consumer and the contractor,” says Becky Watson, co-owner of Agape Home Services. “If you don’t have a contract, either party can be unprotected.” A solid contract will spell out the goals, responsibilities, payment terms and penalties if the contract details are not met. Contracts should include the job description, start and completion dates, payment terms, licensing, insurance and permit requirements, details on material and labor costs, change order procedures, penalties for missed completion dates, and a termination clause, which spells out reasons the homeowner or the contractor can end the job without penalty. “The more information that is in the contract, the

more the homeowner understands what’s to be expected of them and what’s to be expected of the contractors,” says G. Paternostro, owner of GianFranco Contracting Service. “It’s a clear outline stating the scope of work, the materials to be used, the amount of manpower, the number of days. It’s just giving a general idea of what the homeowner

should expect from hiring that particular contractor. There’s no gray area. Everybody knows their responsibility.” A contract can offer a homeowner protection if fully read and understood, but it can also contain clauses that could lock unsuspecting homeowners in to an agreement they didn’t plan for. According to a nationwide Angie’s List poll, nearly one-third of the respondents admitted they don’t read contracts thoroughly. Walker says her company requires customers to initial each page, showing they’ve read it, and encourages them to ask questions if there are provisions they don’t understand. Homeowners are not at the mercy of the contractor when it comes to what is or isn’t included in the contract. Both parties should discuss and agree upon the terms before beginning any project. “The more details in the contract, the better,” Walker says. “If there’s any doubt or anything they don’t understand in their contract, I think it’s really important they be

It spells out the project and who is responsible for what. 2) Start and completion dates. They set dates to give a framework of time the project should take and outline how and when contractors can access your home. Be prepared to amend completion for good cause, but don’t accept unreasonable, unnecessary delays. 3) Payment terms. Tie payment dates to job completion.

your state requirements. Hold back at least 10 percent until the job is completed to your satisfaction. 4) Local authorization. Specify that your contractor is responsible for securing necessary regulatory permits for your project. Walk away from a contractor who can’t or won’t approach local licensing or permitting agencies. 5) Penalties for missed completion dates. Give yourself options to deduct or delay payment if completion dates are missed to encourage the contractor to meet your time frame. Be specific about amounts, and clearly define terms. 6) Procedure for work orders/changes to initial agreement. Outline a process to follow for project changes or additions. Large-scale projects often uncover hidden problems that must be addressed before work can continue, so change orders are not uncommon; but a well-deﬁned project should not have several of them. Be wary if your contractor routinely seeks changes. 7) Detailed outline of costs and materials. Require an itemized list of materials, labor and any other costs you will incur. Spell out whether you want specific materials, brands, colors, etc. 8) Proof of licensure, insurance and bonding. Ask for proof of licensure if applicable, worker’s compensation insurance, liability insurance and bonding to protect you from liability for property or jobrelated injuries. 9) Termination clause. Spell out reasons you or the contractor can leave the job without penalty (e.g., failure to pay the contractor, no reasonable explanation for delay, poor work quality or failure to adequately communicate). 10) Other protection. Ask the contractor to provide a lien release, which protects you from liability should the contractor fail to pay his or her subcontractors who worked on your project.

Bathroom redux

HOLLAND

Add value and comfort to your home By Joseph Pubillones Nothing embodies a sense of luxury more than nicely appointed bathrooms and powder rooms. This is one of the best improvements that can be done to any home, townhouse or condominium, as it adds both perceived and actual value. Since the times of ancient Rome, baths have been a great place for cleanliness and also for establishing a connection among body, mind and spirit. Baths were a refuge for one to go and think clearly and even, in some cultures, to negotiate the finer points of a business deal. In our world today, bathrooms are more private but, nonetheless, just as important. Today’s bathrooms are not just functional rooms of the house, but also extensions of one’s living space, and they are no longer clinical in design. Designs for these spaces have gone in many directions, often including saunas, hot tubs, massage tables and even exercise areas. Gone are many of the materials one used to expect in bathrooms: ceramic tile, traditional fixtures, tones of mint green, cherry pink and sky blue (unless you are involved in a historical restoration). These materials have been replaced with warmer tiles, slates and marbles in a variety of incredible colors. Some have textures; others are laser-cut for intricate designs. Stones are mixed with glass and mirrors, and tiles and fixtures that glow in the dark are available. Some of the newer bathrooms rival the size of their en suite bedrooms. Larger spaces are favored over the typical

WORK OVER $200 5-by-7-foot bathrooms of yesteryear. Most homeowners are even willing to eliminate a spare room so that the square footage can be used for their new bathroom. Lounging areas are de rigueur, and this provides space for a chaise or a pair of club chairs and an ottoman. Fixtures such as toilets, lavs and tubs are available in traditional styles to ﬁt in with most conventional architectural styles. But some are also available in sleek versions that look as if they have been designed by aeronautical engineers. Materials for ﬁxtures have evolved to include the traditional porcelains and enameled irons, as well as newer materials, such as resins and polyesters that can easily be molded into any shape, while having the same sheen as earlier models. Custom cabinetmakers

can make bathroom furniture in any style to fit your decor and lifestyle. The one caveat is to use materials that are not affected by direct contact with water or humidity. Today’s styles range from floating wall-mounted cabinetry to furniture-like pieces that completely conceal the fixtures. A whirlpool tub was the must-have 10 or 20 years ago. Today high-end plumbing fixtures are all the rage. Most whirlpool tubs are being removed for lack of use and are being replaced with larger showers - sometimes large enough for two. These sybaritic showers feature multiple massage sprays, rain showerheads and spa-like steam options. These features, once found only at therapeutic clinics and spas, now are commonplace as people search for antidotes to their hectic lives.

www.roomswav.com By Mark J. Donovan Sealing your driveway is an important part in maintaining an asphalt driveway and extending the life of it. Sealing prevents water from working its way into surface cracks and underneath the asphalt. Once water gets underneath an asphalt driveway, it can quickly begin to undermine its integrity. The water can cause erosion, which eventually will lead to sinkholes. In addition, during winter months, melting snow and ice water can work its way into the asphalt cracks during the day and then freeze underneath the driveway when the temperatures drop. This situation leads to heaving, settling and eventual crumbling of the driveway. Sealing your driveway also prevents weeds growth and protects it f rom oil spills. It also protects the asphalt from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which break down the binding material in the asphalt. Although you can pay someone hundreds of dollars to seal your driveway, you can easily seal your own driveway for a fraction of the cost with as little as a half-day’s worth of work. That said, a newly poured asphalt driveway needs three to six months to fully cure prior to sealing it. This allows time for the hydrocarbon oils in the asphalt to evaporate and the asphalt to fully harden. Prior to sealing your driveway, make sure to repair any cracks or holes in it by using either a cold patch or an asphalt driveway crack sealer. Asphalt driveway crack fillers are made from a synthetic rubber and come in either a tube that you apply with a caulking gun or in jugs from which you simply pour the filler into the crack or hole. Once you’ve applied the crack filler, allow several weeks for it to fully cure prior to sealing

your driveway. To actually seal your own driveway, you’ll need fivegallon containers of coal tar driveway sealer. I recommend buying coal tar driveway sealer over asphalt-based sealers due to the fact that coal tar driveway sealer does a better job of protecting the asphalt from oil and gasoline spills. The amount of driveway sealer containers required will depend upon the size of your driveway and the amount of square area each container covers. Typically, a ﬁve-gallon container will cover 350 to 400 square feet. Calculate the area of your driveway and then divide it by the amount of area each container can cover. This will determine how many containers of driveway seal you’ll need. Apply the driveway sealer to your asphalt driveway on a warm day so that it spreads easily. To actually spread the driveway sealer, use a longhandle squeegee or broom that is speciﬁcally made for sealing driveways. Prior to actually pouring the driveway sealer onto your driveway, make sure to thoroughly stir each container well. Make sure when applying the driveway sealer that you do not put it on too thick. Otherwise, it might take much longer to cure, and it would be susceptible to peeling. After sealing your driveway, make sure not to walk or drive on it for a few days. Typically, a driveway sealer needs a couple of warm dry days prior to driving a vehicle on it. If the weather is less than perfect, you may need several more days to allow it to properly dry and harden. Finally, keep in mind that sealing a driveway is not a once-in-a-lifetime event. To ensure a long asphalt driveway life, you should plan on sealing your driveway every two to four years.

Fire pits

Enjoying the outdoors with a little warmth By Anica Wong

PHOTO/CREATORS.COM COURTESY OF GLASS PHOTOGRAPHY

There were many things that Erin Lang Norris and her husband were looking forward to when they moved out of an apartment and into their own house in Massachusetts. Top on that list was having a yard for building big fires to enjoy during the summer and winter months. But the property they purchased didn’t have a fire pit, so Lang Norris had to take things into her own hands, literally. “I don’t know how many bottles of ibuprofen I went through,” she says, noting that building the 5-foot-wide fire pit was a feat of will and physical strength. Lang Norris couldn’t afford a landscape designer, so she went to the first place most people do to get more information on any do-it-yourself project: the Internet. She was sorely disappointed at the lack of concise and helpful material and instead decided to give it a go herself. The first step was mapping out the space for her fire pit.

Whether building your own or bringing in a professional to build one, a fire pit allows you to relax and enjoy your outdoor space.

It ended up having a 5-foot diameter, a typical size, says Tim Lindgren, president of Lindgren Landscape & Irrigation. But you need a lot more space than that to accommodate

the structure. “You’ll have the ﬁre pit itself - 5-foot outside diameter - and then you have three feet of seating all around it. All of a sudden, you have an 11-foot space to

fit a round fire pit,” calculates Lindgren. This size was perfect for Lang Norris’ 2-acre plot; the fire pit didn’t get lost in the area, but also wasn’t overwhelming. Lang Norris’biggest challenge,

she says, was deciding what kind of stone she should use. She wanted something durable enough for high temperatures, which can foster brush fires, and cold winters. After pricing options at the local stone yard, she picked sandstone and then layered the inside of the pit with firebrick she picked up at the hardware store. Lindgren suggests that any fire pit be made with masonry blocks veneered with bricks, fake stones or real stones on the outside. This gives the pit the strong structure it needs to withstand the heat of a fire and leaves an aesthetically pleasing view for the homeowner. Once the size is sketched out and the stone bought, the heavy lifting and digging begins; this is where the painkillers come in handy. How deep you dig your foundation will depend on the type of soil in which you are digging. The foundation is the area of the ground that the stone cylinder will sit on. After this area is dug out, cement is poured in and rebar stuck into the cement Fire Pits page 8

You’ve seen it on HGTV home remodels: the transformation of a basic backyard into a jaw-dropping outdoor room with an arched-roof pergola housing a flame-flickering fire pit table, fabulous couches and tables, a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen and magical lighting illuminating the cozy and chic space for gathering family and friends. Now, more homeowners are designing their own outdoor rooms to give themselves a fabulous open-air space in top design style. According to the experts at The Outdoor Greatroom Co., “the wonderful thing about adding an outdoor great room is that the cost per square foot is much less than any other insidethe-home remodel job.” They also report high returns of joy from their investment. The family can revel in living the good life via their new, enviable, high style outdoor space.

It is also necessary to do the planning for the electrical and gas lines if these are to be utilized for gas fire pits, outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces.

are often UV-ray resistant to prevent fading. Furniture may be accessorized with cushions and pillows in complementary colors such as hunter green or Caribbean blue, to coordinate with colors existing in your landscaping or pool areas. You could also choose trendy patterns such as preppy stripes or romantic garden florals. “Outdoor lighting is an important element for creating the perfect outdoor living space,” says a staff member at The Outdoor Greatroom Co. French colonial lanterns add elegance to an outdoor room, and the design experts at stores such as Restoration Hardware suggest grouping several different sizes of metal lanterns to add extra visual appeal. Other lighting effects include lights strung throughout the latticework ceiling or wrapped around pergola beams, LED or solar lights in pillar candle form, and lanterns hung from Shooks on tree branches around the structure. Portable lightand-heater fixtures add to the lighting effect while warming up the space on cool evenings. Speaking of heat, the top trend in outdoor rooms is the gas fire pit table, which is often a low-set round, square or rectangular table with a clean-burning gas fuel feature in the center, creating a fireplace flame effect emerging from center-placed clear or colored stones. Additional outdoor room features include an outdoor fireplace or footed chiminea, an outdoor kitchen with wet bar, a sound system via hidden speakers, a ledge for an iPod dock and potted flowers coordinating your outdoor room with the landscaping around it, creating a magical and gorgeous space for your family’s enjoyment.

to add stability and strength. Lang Norris spent many hours chiseling pieces of stone to fit into the puzzle of the expansive fire pit walls. She carefully placed each piece exactly where she wanted it, which oftentimes required her to shift the stones from one space to another, trying to get all of the pieces just right. She then built a top cap of thicker stones that went all the way around the cylinder, giving the structure a nice finished look. While Lang Norris’ fire pit is wood-burning, Lindgren gets many requests for gas fire pits. In these cases, his company would install a valve that runs through the exterior of the wall, into the bottom of the pit and capped by a burner system. Lava rocks or glass would cover the burner system, but allow the flames to come up. “The pros to doing a woodburning fire pit is a real flame, the smell and crackling of a

campfire,” Lindgren says. A gas pit is easy to manage and maintain. Lindgren even installed a fire pit that the owner can light using an iPad app. Lindgren suggests that homeowners check the local fire codes before they start making decisions on the type of fire pit they want. Some areas don’t allow burning firewood in city limits, and if there is a gas line involved, permits must also be in hand. Messing around with a gas line is no simple undertaking, Lindgren says. All in all, Lang Norris spent about $450 on her fire pit, while Lindgren’s company, which primarily caters to high-end residential locations, charges between $3,500 and $4,500 for a fire pit. Both options are viable and in the end, people are going to gather around the finished project. “In the north, we are trying to take advantage of the outdoor living. What can we put outside that will prolong our season?” Lindgren asks. Lang Norris knows just the thing.

Shelve it chic

Top trends in shelving and ledges By Sharon Naylor

PHOTO/CREATORS.COM COURTESY OF POTTERY BARN

An easy and inexpensive way to transform a room is to install new and stylish shelving features. You don’t need to build a bookcase that extends the entire length of a wall. That kind of big, heavy feature lessens the ﬂoor space of your room and can make the space look smaller. What is trendy for interior design right now is the addition of individual shelf pieces and ledges measuring two feet, three feet or four feet in length. A single attractive shelving piece gives framed artwork a chic place to rest and a small grouping of collectibles a tasteful home. Here are the top trends in shelf and ledge features this year, any of which would serve you well in an easy, get-itdone-in-no-time home decor project: - Ultra-narrow shelving. A ledge that extends just two inches to four inches from the wall maintains the open and airy space of a room, especially if it’s a small room. The new

New shelving trends include rustic, marble and multi-piece shelves and ledges.

class of ultra-narrow shelving features a groove or a front lip that keeps frames, artwork and smaller items securely in place. Consider installing a narrow single shelf the entire length of the wall, set high to run above the windows, for the purpose of displaying artwork and collectibles the

full length of the room. When painted the same color as the wall, the shelf becomes an “invisible” architectural detail that eliminates the “stuck to the wall” eﬀect of a contrasting color. - Rustic wood ledges. Rustic adds a more natural look and feel to a room. Unique woods

living room. With a decorative black metal brace beneath, the eﬀect is opulent, yet still soft enough for modern decor. - Beveled-edge shelves. The slight angles of a beveled edge add a more formal look to a shelving piece and may coordinate with other furniture pieces in the room. A style to check out is a popular informal housewares store’s corbel decorative shelf with beveled edges, cutout corners and curved supports that, with its classic proﬁle, adds to the architecture of a space. Decorating consultants suggest using them in rows or with staggered shelves to showcase frames, books and keepsakes. - Molded-base shelves. Shelving pieces with decorative molding on the bottom can coordinate with the design of molding encircling the tops of your walls, for a polished look. - A-frame bookcases with matching shelves above.

such as bayur are found in trendy decorating collections, and they offer that telltale aged look of rustic charm. One top trend for rustic shelves and ledges is displaying not just one piece, but two or three in different sizes, such as a four-footer on the bottom, a three-footer above that and a two-footer above that. The stacked effect maintains rustic comfort while providing a unique visual flair that’s far more en vogue now than a trio of matching shelf lengths. - Rattan. For an island-style effect, choose a wood shelf that gives the effect of woven rattan. Pottery Barn features an extra-thick mango wood shelf with a chunkier appearance, giving the look and feel of a fireplace mantle because it is six inches high, as opposed to those four-inch-high display shelves. - Marble top. A white marble embedded with natural crystalline sparkles, and colored veining provides a European elegance for a bathroom, kitchen or white-decor

Restock your potting shed Welcome to a new season of gardening

edged shovels, pointy-edged shovels, long-handled spades, hoes, garden forks (with a trident or four-pronged fork edge), rakes, edgers, garden brooms, hand spades, garden claws, bulb planters, pruning shears, pocket clippers, garden hand saws, weeding knives, loppers, rose thorn strippers and tool-cleaning solutions and brushes. If you enjoy gardening with your partner or with your kids, buy multiples of safe hand tools so that you can work together on a garden project.

Get ready for a new season of gardening: Although you may be perusing seed plant websites and catalogs - envisioning what you’ll grow this year - be sure to add gardening supplies to your shopping list. After so many months of being away from your potting shed or potting bench, you’re probably not aware where you’ve run low. Restocking your supplies for seeds, fertilizers and liquid plant nutrients also justifies a good shopping spree. Getting new items means better blooms. Plus, older tools may be dulled or rusted, so it may be the perfect time to upgrade to some new tools, as well. Here is your shopping list to restock your gardening supplies: Tools Your metal-edged tools may be rusty or dull, and new handheld tools are vastly improved, with rubberized grips to make work easier and blisters less likely. So look for new round-

Pots and planters You’ve stored those plastic plant pots on the bottom shelf of your potting bench long enough. Recycle or dispose of them, and invest in new and pretty pots and planters for

your garden additions. Examples include terracotta pots, elongated metallic planters, colorful pots and planters, selfwatering pots and planters, hanging pots with attractive chain suspension, mini pots, blocks to elevate planters, rocks for drainage in pots and fertilizer spikes. Lifestyle blogger Tabitha Philen outlines her vegetable container sizes as follows: 16 to 24 inches (for tomatoes, zucchini and summer squash), 12 to 16 inches (for cucumbers, eggplants and beans), 10 to 12 inches (for pepper and carrots), rectangular planters (for basil and lettuce).

Restock your potting shed: Welcome to a new season of gardening Potting Shed Continued from page 10

Watering essentials The pretty red watering can you keep outside your front door for the deck planters may be faded by the sun. So invest in new watering cans and systems: small watering cans for indoors and outside, large watering cans for outside, watering “showerhead” attachment for your hose, sprinklers, rainwater collection barrel,

rainwater gauge, watering timer, self-watering planter inserts, pails and spray bottles. Grass supplies Keep or improve your perfect green lawn, and restock your supply to be sure you have enough fresh seed and spread for your entire property. You’ll need grass seed, straw or peat moss to cover newly seeded areas, along with a grass seed spreader.

Lawn and garden additives Feed your lawn and garden with new, fresh and improved materials: fertilizer for lawn, rosebushes, trees and other plants, organic pesticide pellets, spreads or sprays tailored to your particular pests (e.g., aphids and slugs), a hand-push spreader, a garden hose attachment for liquid fertilizer, compost, garden pebbles and rocks, decorative garden stones and

boulders, mulch in your chosen color and material (fresh is best because bagged, stored mulch may have developed fungus and mold), a composting bin and lots of fresh garden soil. Garden supplies For use in your vegetable and herb gardens: a tomato trellis, a bean trellis, garden stakes, garden tape or ties for trellises or stakes, garden twine, garden ID sticks or signs, a raised bed,

available in trendy colors, including espresso. Matching small ledges above or positioned on either side extend the wood shelving eﬀect in an eye-pleasing upward direction to continue the display of similar items, such as books, collectibles and artwork. - Gallery-style display. The popular home decor website Casa Sugar lists the gallery wall as one of the top design trends for this year, encourag-

ing the artistic collection of different colors and sizes of framed art arranged randomly on a wall. Narrow-edged shelving pieces or ledges can be used to create this same effect, and it may be your choice to display matching frame colors and styles - in different sizes for visual effect - to show off your kids’ artwork and other prints or creations. - Mix shelving units with shelves and ledges. Individual shelf and ledge pieces can be hung between two built-in

bookcases, such as above a bed and situated in the middle, or small ledges could be hung next to a bookshelf to make use of staircase space and other awkward empty wall areas. - Eco-friendly woods. Since green living is a top trend in interior design, choose ecofriendly bamboo, or borrow from prized designers who use reclaimed wood such as railroad ties and pine lengths to customize inventive shelves. - Natural colors. The top hues of shelving pieces in-

clude mahogany, cherry wood, espresso and lighter shades such as natural, white and silver. Brights may be used in children’s rooms, nurseries and now even in kitchens for a pop of color in an all-white or tan space. The key to perfect shelving pieces is precise, level installation, which can be achieved using built-in mounting systems with bubble levels for proper placement. A laser level can also be used to help you install your shelving.

planting barrels, anti-weed layer, a basket for gathering harvest items, garden gloves, garden boots or shoes, a gardening hat, a low garden bench, padded mats for kneeling, a rolling garden tool caddy, tarps and burlap rolls to cover plants in a cold snap, summer-weight garden covers and garden decor. Add a gardener’s ﬁrst-aid kit to your potting shed in case of a cut or scrape, and also stock bug spray and sunscreen nearby. And because some garden work will require heavy lifting, invest in a quality wheelbarrow with sturdy rubberized handles to cart hefty items and bags of mulch or fertilizer. A Velcroaffixing lower-back support wrap will also protect you from lifting injuries. A new potting bench may be on your wish list, as well, which many gardeners say gives new life to their passion, with organized shelves and drawers and lots of display and work space. And a small greenhouse setup is also a bigger-ticket item on gardeners’ wish lists. A new structure could make an entirely new crop or ﬂower possible this year.
