What to consider when updating your home’s flooring Are you planning on updating your flooring this season?

From performance to style to color, there are many factors to consider before finding flooring that fits your family’s lifestyle.

Before making the investment, you should ask yourself these three questions about each room you are remodeling.

• Who uses the room? Determining who will use the room on a regular basis is very important. For everyday family rooms, be sure to go with something durable and able to withstand high traffic and activity from kids and pets. However, if you’re installing flooring in a room used only by guests around special occasions, you may want to make a statement, focusing more on style over functionality.

• How is the room used?

Knowing how your room will be used is key when picking out the best flooring option. For example, if the room will be used for active living, such as for crafts, playtime or as a workout room, look for flooring options that can withstand the constant foot traffic and inevitable spills, and is also non-slip.

• What feelings are you trying to evoke? Casual and fun or formal? If you’re trying to go for a fun and inviting feel you may want to lean towards something either light or bright in color. Bright colors scream fun and excitement while light colors make the room feel open and welcoming. For a more formal feel, try something in a dark tone or with a subtle pattern, which can evoke a calming, subdued response.

You want to choose a carpet that does not quickly show mat-

ting, crushing and wear, so look for carpets that have dense fibers resilient to every day abuse.

“Soft” and “strong” are no longer competing priorities thanks to manufacturing innovations.

“If your family is busy and active and you have pets, you’ll want something that offers both style and function. With today’s carpet options, you don’t have to sacrifice either,” says Keesha Hargis, Home Decorating Specialist at Flooring America.

A waterproof carpet was only a dream for many homeowners in the past, and now the technology is available.

Check out Flooring America, which recently introduced Tigressà H20, a revolutionary carpet that is waterproof, pet-proof, kid-proof, and can withstand the toughest household spills and pet accidents. It’s ideal for busy homes that experience high foot traffic from active kids and pets.

If you’re priority is comfort and softness, a good bet is Tigressà Cherish, which is a plush, eco-friendly carpet that, despite being 75 percent finer than current soft carpet standards, is durable enough to last for years, even if you have a busy home. Tigressa Cherish’s color enhancement system protects each fiber, allowing for deeper colors and textures, which keeps it looking beautiful, new and fresh longer than the average carpet.

Flooring choices today are sometimes overwhelming.

Check with a trusted local independent flooring retailer who can offer design and performance recommendations based on your priorities.

Upgrades that boost curb appeal, home value 5 Giving your home’s exterior a fresh new look could also increase its value, if you choose your upgrades wisely. To get a great return on your investment, it’s all about picking the right projects.

Here are three ideas to boost your home’s curb appeal.

Siding Siding replacement offers a great return on investment. In

fact, you could recover over 80 percent of the cost, according to 2015 figures from Remodeling.com, which compares the cost of common home improvement projects with the value those projects retain at resale.

Window Replacement Want to add architectural interest to the outside of your home?

Consider replacing your win-

dows with stylish, well-crafted options that complement the style of your house.

Replacing your home’s windows is also a good financial expenditure -- recouping nearly 75 percent of the cost, according to the same Remodeling.com study. And it’s no wonder; new window designs provide innovative features, such as low maintenance, durability, simple oper-

ation and resistance to peeling, cracking and warping.

Landscaping Don’t let a beautiful home be overshadowed by a dreary yard.

Smart landscaping makes a great first impression, adding beauty and value to your home.

Take into consideration the size, shape and color of your house.

For year-round appeal, also think about the local climate. If

you don’t have a green thumb or an eye for design, a landscaping contractor can help you plan and execute this worthwhile project.

Make upgrades to your home’s exterior wisely. Investigate options that will boost curb appeal, improve your lifestyle and offer a return on investment down the line.

Add color to customize your home’s interior 7 In a world where home décor options can often seem bland, you may be wondering how to colorfully customize interior spaces to fit your lifestyle and speak to your personality. Luckily, you’re not alone.

A good 25 to 30 percent of polled online shoppers are interested in customizing products, according to a consumer study

by Bain & Company. This demand is driving innovation across industries, including home interior design, which is adding new color palates to their offerings.

So for those seeking to buck the cookie cutter trends seen in neighbors’ homes, try creating a DIY look in yours with the addition of bright, bold colors.

Here are a few design tips to add personality and flair to your home: Seek Inspiration Many design resources are right at your fingertips. Visual social media applications, such as Pinterest and Instagram, can help you envision how different

elements, colors and furnishings may look in your own spaces -serving as inspiration for décor projects and upgrades.

Also, seek out new online tools that can help you execute your plan. For example a free Web-based application, Splash

by Amerock, offers a new interactive design and shopping experience by allowing users to truly customize hardware for cabinets and furniture. The interactive site and first-of-itskind product line allows you to test various cool colors and shapes of cabinetry hardware and view the different looks on different style and color cabinets.

From kitchens and bathrooms to bedrooms and living areas, you can make your rooms pop with bold colors, truly customizing a room without much effort. The no risk decorating system and online ordering process makes it easy to wield your decorating prowess. To view how fresh, fun colors may look in your home, visit www.Splash-

NMLS#416695

byAmerock.com Bursts of Color A great new trend for a bold, bright look is the addition of bursts of color. You can eliminate the need for a complete overhaul while making a statement.

For example, paint just one accent wall in your kitchen, or add a large colorful pillow or throw to your living room set.

Another great way to achieve color is to replace the standard hardware on your cabinets and furniture with custom options.

Hardware is easy to swap out and can give your pieces a fun, fresh makeover at a much lower cost and hassle than a replacement.

This update is so easy to make you can change hardware as often as the seasons, if you are so inclined. And for kids’ bedrooms, it’s an especially easy way to transform the look of the room as kids grow and their tastes change. To learn more about hardware, visit www.Amerock.com, and also visit

Make your home the envy of the neighborhood You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a home by its exterior. Making your home the envy of the neighborhood starts with boosting its curb appeal.

From general maintenance to home upgrades, here are three ideas to refresh your home’s look: Update Windows Replacing your windows with beautifully designed products will give your home a great first impression, not to mention reduce your energy bills and increase your home’s value.

After a window replacement, taking care of your new window is just as important.

Wash windows every few months so they always look as good as the day they were installed.

Avoid scratching the surface of the glass, or frame, by utilizing non-abrasive agents. Water and a soft cloth is usually all you need to clean windows thoroughly, but a mild cleaner may also be helpful.

Choose Sleek Siding If you are looking to boost your home’s energy efficiency and attain a new look for your exterior, replacing your siding is a great investment that can achieve both of these goals. Just be sure you get a superior product to avoid maintenance down the line. For example, vinyl sid-

ing is an ideal product because of its low maintenance and longevity. No matter what color siding you opt for, you can make your entire home’s exterior pop by choosing a distinct trim color.

Use a complimentary online design center, like the one on the Window World website, to help visualize color options for win-

dows, siding and doors.

While there, check out their full-line of ENERGY STAR qualified replacement windows backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal. In addition to offering stylish siding, Window World also professionally installs the Prodigy Insulated Siding System, which is both mois-

ture and impact-resistant. The Prodigy system has the thickest EPS foam insulation on the market, helping you increase comfort while decreasing energy consumption.

A Grand Entry It is said that the front door is the focal point of your home’s curb appeal. When creating your entryway, customize a new front door with smaller side window panels or glass panels within the door itself. Look for an exterior remodeler that can custom design and install entry doors to match your exterior décor. If it’s not time for a door replacement, consider adding a splash of color to your exterior by painting or staining your existing door.

More information regarding windows and siding is available at www.WindowWorld.com.

To love your home, you must give it some love. Making the necessary home upgrades and maintaining your home’s exterior is a surefire way to turn heads.

Why purchase title insurance?

By Rebecca Arnold Reunion Title Title insurance is probably not understood as well as other types of home insurance. However, it is just as important!

When you purchase a home, instead of purchasing the actual land or building structure, you are actually purchasing the title to that property - the rights to occupy and use the space. That title may be limited by certain rights and claims asserted by others, which may limit your use of the property and in some cases cause financial loss. Title insurance protects against these types of hazards.

Title insurance protects against the loss from hazards and defects that already exist in the title and is a one-time purchase.

Other types of insurance that protect your home may focus on possible future events and charge an annual premium.

What Does Your Title Premium Cover?

Title insuring begins with a search of public land records affecting the real estate concerned. An examination is conducted by the title agent on behalf of its underwriter to determine whether the property is insurable. Frequently there are documents that don’t clearly transfer title found in the “chain”, or the history that is assembled from the records in a search. Some examples of documents that can present concerns are: . Wills, deeds, and trusts that contain improper wording or incorrect names. . Outstanding mortgages and/or judgments. . Liens against the property because the seller has not paid his/her taxes. . Pending legal action against the property that will affect a purchaser.

. Easements that allow construction on a road or utility line.

Through the search and examination, title problems are disclosed so that they can be corrected whenever possible.

Hidden Title Hazards Sometimes hidden hazards can emerge, resulting in unpleasant and sometimes costly surprises.

Some examples include: . Forged signatures on the deed - resulting in no transfer of ownership to you. . Unknown heir/heirs of a previous owner claiming ownership of the property. . A mistake in the public records. . Loan instruments executed under an expired or false power of attorney.

Title insurance offers financial protection against these and other unforeseen title hazards.

The title insurer will pay for defending a claim on title as in-

Rebecca Arnold sured and will either pay valid claims or correct the title.

Your home is probably your most important investment. Before closing on your home, inquire about your title insurance protection. Be sure to protect your asset with an owner’s title policy.
