How to replace home siding this fall Few home improvements can transform a home more than the installation of new siding. Replacing siding can be a costly venture, but the right siding will maintain its appeal for years to come. Updated siding can improve home’s energy value by enabling owners to save on heating and cooling costs. A new design and colour also can improve a home’s property value and set it apart from neighbouring properties, as exterior design and materials used are a top priority for new home buyers. Project costs depend on the size of the home as well as which siding material homeowners choose. Considering new siding is a major renovation, it pays to get the job done right.
Choose a qualified contractor It is important for consumers to do their research when it comes to siding materials and contractors. A contractor who takes shortcuts or improperly installs the siding may void a manufacturer’s warranty. Always ask family members and friends for recommendations before choosing a contractor, and check out each prospective contractor’s work for yourself. Interview more than one contractor and compare both their costs and what they offer. Ask plenty of ques-
tions of the contractors, and avoid those who try hard-sell methods. Questionable contractors may try strategies like a promise of a considerable discount if you “act now” or scare tactics that your home is unsafe. Be sure the contractor carries general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance for their subcontractors. Ask for a licence number as well and verify its accuracy.
Select a durable material Siding comes in all types of materials - from wood to plastic to fibre cement - but vinyl is among the most popular due to cost and availability. Research how well particular brands of siding stand up to conditions and which are the least likely to crack, warp or discolour. Find this information from online reviews or through consumer advocacy groups. Also remember, vinyl and other synthetic materials have improved and Finding a qualified contractor is an important component to any siding project. can now mimic the look of many other the width of each rectangular section tals.

Designers’s take on four decorating myths Find out which common design “rules” were made to be broken Let’s face it, as countless home decorating tips abound, one’s first instinct is to take them as truths. Yet, why is it that we continue to listen to others’‘rules’ when it comes time to decorate our own homes? Hunter Douglas, a leading window treatment company, asked two top designers to describe what they believe to be the most common decorating myths.

Myth No. 2: A view is better without window treatments
Despite common perceptions, window treatments can enhance a view rather than take away from it.

Myth No. 4: All ceilings must be white
Contrary to popular belief, a pure white ceiling doesn’t always work. According to James Rixner, with certain wall colours it can make the ceiling look lower. “If you have richly toned walls and your ceiling is pure white, it
will effectively give you a lower ceiling, something most people want to avoid,” advises Rixner. “It gives the eye too much of a jolt to go from a wall colour to a pure white ceiling.”
