Routine Home Maintenance

Your home may be the biggest investment you will ever make. Taking good care of it with regular maintenance is necessary to preserve its value and ensure it will provide a comfortable, safe shelter for you and your family for years to come.

Air Filters

►Many types of heating and air conditioning systems contain filters to remove dirt and dust from the air. Check the instruction book or search online by model number: In many cases, the homeowner should change filters at least every three months.

Sinks

►It’s also a good idea to clean your faucet’s aerator — which is the spring inside the end of the faucet — every three to four months.

►To maintain your garbage disposal, you should run cold water through it during use.

Fireplaces

►When you’re ready to use your fireplace, be sure to build the fire on the andirons or grate, never on the fireplace floor.

►To prevent soot and to add color to the fire, throw in a handful of salt.

Store your firewood outside, away from the house and not directly on the ground.

►Have a CSIA-Certified chimney sweep inspect your chimney and fireplace annually, especially if you build a lot of fires in the winter.

Floors

►To maintain unpainted concrete floors in your basement or garage, first apply a concrete sealer, which makes them easier to clean. When you’re ready to clean them, use a solution of four to six tablespoons of washing soda in a gallon of hot water. Add scouring powder to the solution for tough jobs.

►For hardwood, be sure the floors have a polyurethane finish before cleaning with water. Hardwood floors that do not have a polyurethane finish will need to be waxed periodically. Use liquid or paste “spirit” wax.

►The best polish for vinyl floors in water emulsion wax.

Walls

►Masonry walls sometimes develop a white powdery substance. This is called efflorescence, a crystallized soluble salt that can be removed by scrubbing with water and a stiff brush.

Safety and Security

►If you have a home security system, regularly check the alarms and circuit breakers to ensure they are in working order. Inspect the sensors one by one.

►The batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should also be checked twice a year to ensure they are operable. Hardwired and battery-powered detectors should be replaced every 10 years.

Maintenance Outside the Home

Roof, Gutters and Downspouts

►A qualified roofer should inspect your roof every three years. Skylights should also be inspected

each time your roof is inspected so leaks don’t develop from cracks and interruptions around the seals, caulking and flashings.

►Make sure that gutters and downspouts do not get clogged with leaves or other objects.

Windows and Doors

►Inspect exterior windows and doors yearly to see if the caulking around them has split and cracked. If so, replace the caulk and clean any mildew.

►For a simple solution to wash extremely dirty exterior windows, combine equal parts vinegar and water or three tablespoons of denatured alcohol per quart of warm water. Use a piece of crumbled newspaper to wash the glass to avoid lint left behind by paper towels.

►To help a window slide easily, rub the channel with a piece of paraffin.

Siding

►Inspect your siding yearly to determine if your wood-sided home needs to be repainted. Trim shrubbery

away so that it does not touch the siding.

►The exterior of your house is built to withstand exposure to the elements, but a periodic cleaning will improve the appearance and, in many instances, prolong the life of siding and other exterior products.

Garage

►The moving parts of garage doors should be oiled every three months.

Simple Repairs

Faucets, Sinks and Toilets

►If you have a water leak, the washer in your faucet usually needs to be replaced.

►For clogged drains, use a plunger and/or a plumber’s snake.

►To unclog a toilet, use a coil spring-steel auger, which can be found at hardware or homeimprovement stores.

Pipes

►Noisy water pipes should be fixed promptly. The condition that causes noisy pipes may be accompanied by vibration that can cause fittings to loosen and leak.

►Frozen pipes should be thawed slowly to prevent the formation of steam, which could cause the pipes to burst.

Walls

►Use spackling to fill nail holes and cracks in plaster walls and gypsum wallboard.

Thinking of Home Remodeling? Start Here

Sooner or later you may join the millions of people who remodel their homes each year. Perhaps it’s at that moment when you realize that avocado green and harvest gold are no longer the “in” colors for today’s trendy kitchens. Or maybe you have an epiphany one day as you stand in line to use your own bathroom. Whatever the impetus, the thought crosses your mind: Maybe it’s time to start a home remodel. The reasons for home remodeling are as varied as the projects we undertake.

Some of these include:

Adding more space

►Upgrading cabinets, counters, appliances and fixtures

►Creating a floor plan that’s customized for your lifestyle

►Improving energy efficiency with new windows, doors, insulation, and climate control systems

►Increasing the resale value of your home

Where to Begin

The first step is to develop an idea of what you want to do with your home remodel. Write a prioritized list of your needs and wants. There are many sources to find design ideas for your home remodeling project. Look at magazines and websites and collect pictures of homes or remodeling projects you like. The more clearly you can envision the project and describe it on paper, the better prepared you’ll be in making your decision.

Think about traffic patterns, furniture size and placement, colors, lighting and how you expect to use the remodeled space. If your decision to remodel involves creating better access for someone with limited mobility, you may want to consider contacting a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist.

You may want to improve home efficiency and hire a professional remodeler for green home remodeling. These projects include replacing windows and doors, upgrading heating

and cooling systems, adding insulation, and other remodeling to make the home more energy-efficient, easier to maintain, and comfortable.

Figure out how much money you have to spend on the home remodeling job, furnishings, landscaping or any other cost you might incur.

Can you do it yourself?

Once you have created your list of priorities, you’ll need to decide how to accomplish that vision. For the handyman or woman, a do-it-yourself project can be both rewarding and costeffective. However, more than 30% of all jobs home remodelers perform come from failed DIY projects.

Hiring a professional remodeler is the best way to ensure your project’s success. These remodelers are dedicated to maintaining the highest integrity and standards in the industry. Find a complete list of professionals at www. lakeregionbuilders.com.

Types of Home Construction

Learn about all of your construction options when you’re looking to build a new home. Understand the difference between custom and production homes, discover the rustic charm of log homes and the benefits of modular homes.

Home Construction Options

55 Plus Housing

The 55+ niche is vitally important to help ease the transitions between life stages. Builders are redefining what it means to relocate with age by providing more lifestyle options for the growing 55+ population.

Concrete Building Systems

Concrete has been an essential home building material for the past century. Learn more about the benefits of this popular material.

Custom Homes

Custom builders create homes designed for each owner individually or from their own, private stock of designs.

Log Homes

Log and timber homes are healthier, organic, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Owners of log and timber homes report that coming home feels like going on vacation.

Modular Building Systems

A modular home is built in one or more sections in a factory, then transported and installed on a permanent foundation at the home site.

Multifamily

From young families just starting out to empty-nesters looking to downsize, multifamily homes are an increasingly popular option for U.S. households. These spaces include apartment buildings, condominiums, townhouses and mixed-use developments.

Panelized Building Systems

A panelized building system incorporates construction techniques

that use advanced technology, quality materials and a controlled work environment to build energy-efficient homes in less time.

Production Homes

Production builders own the land they are building on and usually have a say in how the community has been developed and what sorts of amenities – trails, playgrounds, proximity to shopping, etc., are available.

Timber Frame Homes

If you have thought about buying and/or building a timber frame home, you are not alone. These beautiful custom homes provide the beauty and open design of truss construction combined with the warmth and energy efficiency of wood.

Choose the Right Color

Go to a paint or home improvement store and get swatches of colors to take home. Select a lot of options, chances are the florescent lights in the store will make the colors look completely different than they will in your home.

See how you like the colors on different walls and in different lighting conditions — early morning sun, midday and nighttime lamplight — to make sure you’re happy with your final choice.

Another option is to paint a few colors on your walls. Many companies offer sample sizes in either a selection of popular colors, or in any color they offer. These samples cost much less than a full gallon and give you the opportunity to try them out on the wall before spending a lot of money.

Select an Appropriate Finish

Choose a paint finish depending on how the room or surface will be used:

A flat or matte finish helps conceal flaws and absorbs light in well-lit rooms.

Satin or eggshell finishes are a good choice for high-traffic areas such as foyers, family rooms, kitchens and bathrooms because they clean more easily than flat or matte paint.

Baseboards, molding and railings look best in a semi-gloss finish, which is a shiny finish that is the easiest to clean and provides a contrast to the walls.

Many paint companies also now offer “all-in-one” paints that already contain primer. These enable you to paint over a darker paint color or area that’s been repaired with patching compound

without having to apply a coat of primer before the paint.

Stock Up on Supplies

Here are the basic supplies you’ll need whether you’re painting several rooms or just one:

►Brushes and rollers

►Paint trays

►Painter’s tape

►Sheets or tarps to cover furniture

►Prepare the room

►Give yourself adequate space to maneuver while you paint and protect your valuable furniture and belongings. Move as much of the room’s contents as

you can either out of the room or away from the walls.

Cover whatever is going to stay and the floor, especially where it meets the walls, with old sheets or plastic tarps.

Next, remove the switch plates and electrical outlet covers. It’s easier than trying to cover them with painter’s tape and definitely looks better — and is safer — than just painting over them. Don’t forget to repair nail holes, dents or chipped spots with a patching compound.

If you have any doubt about your ability to paint a perfectly straight line, or you don’t have a very steady hand, use painters tape to protect features you don’t want paint to get on. This could include baseboards, window and door trim, and where the wall meets the ceiling or crown molding. Make sure the tape adheres properly by running a finger or mixing stick along the tape.

Clean the walls with a mild detergent solution or wipe them with a damp lintfree cloth to remove cobwebs and dust that will cause blemishes in your paint. Vacuum or dust the room to make sure dust or animal hair doesn’t get in your paint and on your walls.

Now you’re ready to make a colorful change!

Why Hire a Professional Home Remodeler

If you are considering a home remodeling project, the most important decision you can make is selecting a professional home remodeler to do the job. Your home is too important to entrust to anyone but a professional home remodeler who can:

►Save you money by doing your job right the first time.

►Ensure that your dreams are accurately translated into reality by offering design services in-house or through an arrangement with a professional architect or designer.

►Understand that your comfort during the project and its successful completion depend on effective communication and follow-through.

►Maintain a safe and neat job site to prevent damage to your home or injury to household members and pets.

►Provide the best possible materials within your budget and assist you in making selections through the vendors they work with.

►Guarantee the quality of their work with a warranty.

►Respond promptly to service calls and inquiries.

►Ensure that your job meets or exceeds applicable building codes

Finding Design Ideas for Your Remodeling Project

You want to change the look and feel of your house, but you also want your remodeling job to look fresh for a number of years and complement the existing features of your home. How do you choose the right project and design for you and your family?

First, take your family’s lifestyle into account when selecting an area of your home to remodel. For example, if you get a lot of traffic through the house, consider hardwood floors. Families who frequently entertain in the kitchen may want to expand the room and add an island or some comfortable chairs. If your bathroom is the place where you escape the world, add a whirlpool tub or a deluxe shower.

After you’ve chosen an area of your home to remodel, the wide array of project options can be both dazzling and intimidating. To get started, consult

the resources below, which can give you specific ideas on how to turn your house into the dream home you’ve always wanted.

TV Shows: There are an increasing number of shows and channels focused on decorating and simple home improvement projects to more complex remodels or home makeovers. For example, HGTV features projects that evolve from start to finish on shows like “Buying and Selling” and “Curb Appeal”; check your local television guide for listings.

Magazines: Magazines that cater to home improvement, lifestyle and remodeling can be an excellent source of ideas. Page through publications such as Dwell, Home, House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, Coastal Living, Food and Wine, Country Living, Ladies’ Home Journal and Good

Housekeeping to identify projects and materials that might work in your home. Additionally, you can request a wide range of free or inexpensive literature by completing the mail-in coupons inserted in such publications.

Websites/Blogs: Surfing the web is a great way to find fresh ideas and to research projects. Many remodelers, manufacturers and magazines host websites that feature project photos, buying guides and product information. Web directories such as the NAHB Remodelers Directory can help you find professional remodelers in your area.

Other sites such as Pinterest and Houzz have extensive photo collections for inspiration. And, an increasing number of DIY and design blogs created by homeowners themselves can also provide inspiration for simple projects you can do around the house.

Sketches and Floor Plans: No two remodeling projects are the same, but you can gain some insight into how another homeowner solved a space problem by carefully studying sketches and floor plans. If, like most people, you are easily confused by plans and drawings, imagine yourself in the middle of the room or space on the plan.

Books: Browse a bookstore with a well-stocked home improvement section, but beware of books telling you to be

your own remodeling contractor. Most remodeling projects call for a level of skill and work hours beyond those stated in these books. The job of a professional remodeler requires experience and competence in a wide range of disciplines, and unless you are highly skilled and licensed in all the trades, you can quickly get in over your head.

Newspapers: Most newspapers publish regular sections devoted to real estate, home design and remodeling.

Also, twice a year — usually in the spring and fall — many papers print special home improvement supplements. Each of these sections contains timely articles and useful advertisements on remodeling, home improvement, repair and maintenance.

Friends, Family and Neighbors: Do you know someone who has recently remodeled their home in a style you admire? He or she may still have product manuals, magazines and other helpful information you can borrow, as well as practical advice drawn from his or her own experience.

Remodeling Professionals: One of the advantages of choosing a remodeler early is gaining access to an extensive library of resources prior to starting a project. Once you’ve chosen a contractor, he or she usually can offer you a wide variety of materials, including product manuals, magazines, brochures and blueprints.

Have Your Home NGBS

Green Certified

Incorporating green building practices and high-performance features into your new home or remodeling project is the first step. Certification to the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) provides independent, third-party certification for new and renovated single-family homes (and multifamily apartment buildings). Administered through the Home Innovation Research Labs, the NGBS is the only residential green building rating system that has received

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approval.

The NGBS has four levels of certification — Bronze, Silver, Gold and Emerald — to designate different thresholds of a home’s energy performance. The four certification levels enable builders to make the best choice for their projects based on market preferences, buyers’ budgets, and other regional or cultural influences. The NGBS is the only residential green certification program that requires increasingly higher thresholds in all categories of construction for a home to reach the next (i.e., more energy-efficient) level of certification.

Survey results show that 94% of owners of NGBS-certified homes would recommend a green residence to a friend or family member and 95% are satisfied with the features in their home. Ask your builder, designer or Certified Green Professional (CGP) about having your home certified. Learn more at NGBS.com.

Insider Hints for Design on a Budget

Spend lazy Saturday afternoons browsing the pages of Architectural Digest or Dwell, wishing you had the budget to hire an interior designer to replicate their artistic interiors? Well-designed rooms don’t always have to come with a huge price tag; in fact, designing on a budget may be easier than you think. Many times, by changing small elements, you can give a room an entirely new personality. Sometimes adding a few colorful pillows or picking up a paintbrush is all you need to do to make your room look like something out of the pages of a magazine.

One of the most common fixes for a boring room is color. “Color is easy to do and inexpensive,” says Kathy Browning, owner of Design Consultants, a design firm in Virginia Beach, Va.

Updating the color of just one wall in any room will give it an entirely new feel.

Painting, when approached correctly, can be an enjoyable experience with instant rewards. Lauren Warnock, vice president director of design at Mary Cook Associates, an interior design firm based in Chicago, reminds homeowners that warmer colors can make a room feel cozier and more inviting. Cooler colors like grey or “stark white,” on the other hand, may give a room a more industrial feeling. “Light airy colors open up a space, while deep, darker colors can make a room appear smaller,” Warnock says.

For the style-conscious, earthy tones such as ambers, browns, and rust are currently popular. “Using modern glamour hues such as white and black with a punch of a teal, coral or chartreuse color is very hot as well,” says Warnock.

Connie Edwards, director of design for Shenandoah Cabinetry, has her own advice when it comes to color, particularly if you are looking at the kitchen. “You can never go wrong with neutrals, but color is hot now,” Edwards says. “Not necessarily vibrant colors — although for the right space, they can be fabulous — but think along the lines of buttery yellows, soft sage greens and nearly neutral blues.”

Adding accents to pieces you already own can also make a large difference.

For instance, if your couch is not as exciting as it once was, try throwing a few fun accent pillows on it. Remember, throws and cushions, when selected as accents, can really bring new life to

a tired piece of furniture. “The use of pillows, throws and draperies in living spaces enhances a room in many ways,” Warnock says. Fabrics also can add beautiful softness to a room and allow additional patterns and textures to be brought into a room.

Another budget-friendly change is to rotate the artwork in a room. Using the same frames but changing the images can easily create a new theme or mood, and combining several different frames in different finishes and sizes can achieve different looks.

Often overlooked but strikingly effective, updated lighting can work wonders. “Lighting will dramatically change the mood of a room,” Warnock says. Try installing a new fixture or simply swapping out the shades on current fixtures. Installing dimmer switches can also make for an interesting change.

Kate Brennan, vice president of new business development at Mary Cook, offers some advice for ready do-it-yourselfers. “Get excited about the transformation that will occur — usually people become more inspired to continue updating their homes.” Brennan says. “Take your project one step at a time and follow your gut.”

Top Signs Your Home Has a Water Problem

Regular maintenance is key for living comfortability in your home. A tidy yard and checkups on home appliances are a good start, but it’s also important to monitor your home periodically for water damage. A variety of issues can cause water damage, especially in older homes, and can show up at any time. If water damage is ignored or goes undetected, it can lead to costly repair bills or in the worst-case scenario, become a hazard to your health. Most water damage can be seen or heard, such as carpet stains or dripping sounds, but it’s not always easy to spot. The following are a few tips to help you spot water damage.

Water Stains. Discoloration or stains on your walls or floors is a sign you might have an issue. If you walk barefoot on carpeting and you feel dampness you likely have water entering your home. Vinyl flooring usually buckles with water exposure and hardwood floors start to warp. Walls

might also start bubbling, cracking or flaking.

Noisy Pipes or Leaks. You may not always see water damage, but sometimes you can hear it. It may not be easy to hear a leak in your home because of the level or activity happening inside or outside of your home. The best time to listen for leaks is later in the evening when there might be less street/neighborhood noise and when members of the household are sleeping.

Mold. If you notice black or white spots on the surfaces within your home, you might have mold. Mold grows indoors when mold spores land on wet surfaces. Mold has the potential to cause health problems. It is important to immediately contact a mold remediation specialist and fix the underlying water issue.

Musty Odors. A water problem in your home can also show up as a damp or musty odor. This type of distinctive

scent is usually difficult to miss. The odor is a telling sign that you are having trouble with a pipe or a leaking home appliance hose.

Foundation Problems. Foundation issues could be the result of poor drainage around your home. If you notice cracking or separation from your home exterior walls, you may it could be from a buildup of moisture. A majority of home foundations are made up of concrete. While this type of material is durable, it is also porous, and water can fill those pores. This type of damage often happens gradually. A lesserknown sign of damage is when doors or window frames become misaligned.

If you have any water problems with your home, do not delay repair or remediation. Visit lakeregionbuilders. com to find a qualified professional to help your home get back in shape.

Pro Tips for a Smooth Bathroom Remodel

Bathrooms are usually the smallest spaces in our home. However, there is no shortage of decisions you’ll have to make if you’re ready to remodel your bathroom. Like other areas of your home, bathroom remodels can be a smooth process with careful planning and by working with a qualified contractor. Consider the following steps to help you organize your ideas and plan your project.

Find a Professional Remodeler. A general internet search of bathroom remodelers will generate dozens of names in your area. How do you figure out which remodeler has the training and expertise to complete your project? The best place to start is by utilizing the directory of professional remodelers at www. LakeRegionBuilders.com.

Take an Assessment of Your Needs. Before you start thinking of floor tiles or tubs, the best place

to start planning for your remodel is by making a list of your needs. Your needs might depend on what type of bathroom you are remodeling. If it’s a master bathroom, you might want to build out space or add double sinks. If you’re remodeling a bathroom for children, low-maintenance and durable materials might be a top priority. Multipurpose bathrooms for guests to use may benefit from simple designs such as easy-to-use fixtures. A clear assessment of your “must-haves” allows for a professional remodeler to provide substantive guidance and streamline your project.

Choose a Layout. If you’re planning on moving a toilet, sink or shower/tub then you’ll have to spend time thinking about how to best utilize your existing space. To help you decide on a layout think about what storage you’ll need, the size of the vanity you prefer and your desired level of privacy. You might be able to add space to your bathroom from an adjacent area, such as a nearby closet or room. A qualified remodeler will be able to tell you how changing the plumbing or wiring will add time and expenses to your project.

Determine Your Schedule. Let your contractor know if you plan on staying in your house during the remodel. If you’re working from home or if you have kids who are distance learning, tell your contractor. A professional can guide you on how to minimize significant disruptions. A

contractor can also erect temporary walls to minimize dust in your home. If the bathroom you are remodeling is the only bathroom in the house, you may need to make some temporary alternate living arrangements.
