HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT REPLACEMENT WINDOWS
Replacing old windows is often a worthwhile investment for homeowners. Energyefficient windows can prevent heating and cooling loss and keep homes more comfortable throughout the year. Windows also can improve a home’s resale value, proving a good return on investment for homeowners who want to upgrade their homes before putting them on the market. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners might find it more cost-effective to replace very old and/or inefficient windows to improve their energy efficiency.

KEEP HOME STYLE IN MIND
A poor match between windows and the style of the home can produce unwanted changes in the appearance of the home. Replacement windows should match the style and appearance desired.
DON’T IGNORE MAINTENANCE NEEDS Wood-framed windows may require more upkeep than aluminum, fiberglass or vinyl. Also, consider if certain window types, such as double-hung windows, casement windows, awning windows, or slider windows, would be practical.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR
The best time of year to plan window replacement is ideally in the spring or early summer. Furthermore, caulk adheres better in warmer weather and will dispense easily.

REDUCE ENERGY COSTS WHILE ENSURING HOMES STAY COOL
2017 Spring Home Show
PAGE 13
www.OceanPromotions.info
According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, as much as half of the energy used in homes goes toward heating and cooling. The following are a handful of ways to make heating and cooling a home more eco-friendly.
CEILING FANS
Fans help to circulate air throughout a home and create an effective draft. Ceiling fans are usually most effective at circulating air throughout a room. The larger the blades, the more air that can be offset by the fan. Many fans operate quietly and effectively.
INSULATE
Insulation often is associated with warmth, and rightfully so, as it is used to protect a home from cold weather. However, insulation also is effective at cooling homes. Many insulation materials work by slowing down the way heat moves through materials and into spaces. Insulation will help reduce the amount of work a cooling system will have to do to cool a home thanks to the flow of heat.

REPLACE AIR FILTERS
Air filters trap dust, debris and other microscopic particles so they are not circulating in the air or clogging up vents. Over time, air filters can become so bogged down with dirt that air cannot move through a home very easily, forcing cooling systems to work harder. Simply replacing the filters can help cooling systems work more efficiently.
UPGRADE TO A MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT SYSTEM
If your heat pump or furnace is getting some age, it may be time to consider replacing your system. Today’s air conditioning and heating systems are much more efficient than what you are currently using. Although a larger ticket item you will find the payback will come with lower energy costs. A professional heating and cooling company can provide you with an energy evaluation of your home to help realize those savings.

Your WARDROBE isn’t like anyone else’s… and your CLOSET won’t be either.
PROS AND CONS OF OPEN FLOOR PLANS PRO: Open floor plans can be safer
for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner.
CON: Privacy is reduced in a home
with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle. Furniture from the front porch or area surrounding the doorway can create a cluttered feel.
PRO: Light can flow effectively
through an open space, minimizing
dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light can help a home feel more spacious.
CON: While light can flow easily,
so can sound. Noises through the house may be amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room.
Closets • Garages • Pantries • Home Offices • Laundry Rooms • Media Rooms
PRO: Entertaining can be easier in a
home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time.

Lighting should play up decorative features of a yard and add the ambience that homeowners desire. Step lights make passage safe while also highlighting molding or trim details.

beauty and entertaining opportunities. While there are many worthy projects to pursue, adding outdoor lighting to a home can help increase its value and make the home safer and more attractive in the evening hours. According to the American Lighting Association, with a few updates to outside lighting, families can make even better use of their homes at night. Adding outdoor lighting is easier and less expensive than many homeowners may know, allowing them to transform an existing patio, deck or pool area into an enjoyable nighttime retreat. Pool parties, dinners on the patio or
barbecues with neighbors become even more memorable when outdoor lighting is added or improved. But homeowners who want to install or upgrade their outdoor lighting should consider the following tips, courtesy of ALA.
REDUCE GLARE
Outdoor lighting that casts a glare can be blinding, as can light that's too bright. Lighting along paths should be cast downward, with fixtures that are hooded. A variety of lighting options will create layers, allowing you to add or subtract as necessary. Exterior-safe dimmers also can provide flexible control
IMPROVE NAVIGATION
Outdoor overhead lighting should improve visibility on steps, paths and walking surfaces, especially where there's a bend or an intersection.
ENHANCE SECURITY
Improve visibility and security, combine a motion detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or entryways. Be sure to aim lights away from the door to improve visibility. Lanterns on either side of the door can give a home a warm, welcoming appearance and improve the safety of entryways.

CREATE DRAMA WITH BOLD PAINT COLORS
Painting is a fun way to experiment with color. Many homeowners are not hesitant to use bold shades of color when they learn the right techniques. And because paint is an inexpensive option for making over a room, homeowners who find they do not like a particular color can easily paint over it with a new color.
• Try bold in a small space
Many people are surprised at how well bold colors work in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colors. Try deep colors that can make the area seem intimate and even exotic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents.
• Go bold in the kitchen
Incorporate a splash of color in the kitchen without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favorite color and install glass inserts in the cabinet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the color beyond. A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, pots and pans, and other kitchen items featured in bold hues.
• Stick to boldness on interchangeable items
Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out color that much easier.

Make the most of small bathrooms
Although many people may dream about creating a spa-type oasis in their homes, not everyone is lucky enough to have a large bathroom. Small bathrooms are common, particularly in older homes, but they
area of the bathroom that's set aside for the shower and is typically only cordoned off by a thin wall or piece of glass. Or a shower with no walls at all is the ultimate in space-saving. The entire bathroom floor is decked out in tile, and a portion is sloped toward a shower drain.
USE SMALLER FIXTURES
When space is at a premium, it's best to look for fixtures and items that fit with the scale of the bathroom. Look for elegant pedestal sinks that have a much smaller profile. They'll also help you control the clutter in the bathroom because there won't be anywhere to hide it.

HOW TO HANDLE WEED GROWTH
Homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens know just how problematic weeds can be. Weeds can make otherwise well-manicured and thriving lawns and gardens appear unhealthy and ill-kempt. But homeowners don’t have to sit back and accept weeds as an inevitable byproduct of warm weather. The following are a handful of ways homeowners can handle weed growth so all their hard work is not masked by unwelcome weeds.
PULL WEEDS AFTER WATERING It might seem odd to water weeds, but watering weeds can actually make it easier to pull them out so they never return. When you pull weeds from soggy soil, you can more easily pull weeds’ entire root system from the ground. That means you aren’t just pulling the stems and leaves, but the entire weed from the ground.
LAY MULCH Mulch can benefit a
garden in many ways, not the least of which is helping to prevent the growth of weeds. Mulch prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, helping to prevent the growth of weeds before they even appear to cause you headaches.
LAY LANDSCAPE FABRIC Landscape fabric will work in much the same way as mulch, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and therefore preventing the weed seeds from germinating. When laying landscape fabric, simply cut holes in the fabric where the plants will be, lay the fabric down and then cover the fabric with mulch.

INSPIRATION
One oft-overlooked benefit of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own.
EXPERIENCE
Experienced professional contractors with strong track records won’t have to go through trial and error and are therefore more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time and on budget.
oceancityrick1975@gmail.com www.ocsecurecondowatch.com
COST
Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourself than to hire someone else to do it for you, but that’s not necessarily true of home improvement projects. Labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT INCREASE HOME VALUE
2017 Spring Home Show
When granite countertops or
shiny, stainless steel appliances beckon homeowners from the display areas of home improvement stores, it’s tempting to gear remodeling thoughts toward the items that will add flair and decorative appeal to a home. Even though most improvements add some measure of value, deciding which are the best investments can be difficult. Return on investment, often referred to as “ROI,” varies depending on the project. Frequently, the projects that seem like the best investments don’t bring the greatest rate of return, while those that seem like smaller projects bring substantial returns. Real estate professionals routinely weigh in with their expert advice, and homeowners can couple that advice with Remodeling magazine’s annual “Cost vs. Value Index” to reap the greatest financial impact from their renovations.
OPEN THE DOOR TO IMPROVEMENT
Region by region across the United States, installation of a new steel door on the front of a home can have a large impact on the resale value of a property. The ROI ranges from 123 percent at the highest, to 86 percent at the lowest — which is still a considerable investment return for such a simple project. Match the
www.OceanPromotions.info
door’s style with the style of the house for the best value.
HOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
There’s little good to improving the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a home if there are existing structural or maintenance issues, warn experts. Siding replacement, HVAC system repair or replacement, a new roof, and basement dampness prevention solutions can be smarter investments before other flashy remodels. Many buyers have a strict budget for a house, and those buyers may be more likely to buy a house with little or no maintenance issues.
INVEST IN KITCHEN
An attractive kitchen can encourage buyers to overlook some of a home’s less attractive components. In the kitchen, replacement countertops, wall color changes, new cabinetry and flooring offer the biggest ROI.
NEW BEDROOM
Another great idea is creating an attic bedroom to increase home value. The ROI of an attic remodel that adheres to code can garner an 83 percent ROI.

CREATE KID-FRIENDLY SPACES AT HOME
Maintaining a home that is welcoming and kid-friendly can be challenging. Kids are full of energy and oftentimes put fun ahead of tidiness. But no matter how energetic their youngsters are, parents can still employ several strategies to ensure their homes are both sophisticated and child-friendly.
CONSIDER AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN Rooms that flow into one an-
other make it easier to keep tabs on children. Such rooms also allow residents and guests to mingle in separate rooms but not be too far away from one another.
CREATE A CATCH-ALL SPOT
Special bins or other organizational tools in the entryway can help to cull clutter when children come in the house from school or play. Be sure the keep cubbies, containers and coat hooks at a child-friendly height.
LOOK FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC RUGS Rugs designed for high-traf-
fic areas will be more forgiving when children march across them several times per day. There are no rules that say you can’t bring an outdoor rug inside, and these rugs tend to be easier to clean.
CREATE A MUD ROOM Kids
move from indoors to outdoors all day long, in good weather and bad. One of the best ways to keep them from tracking the outdoors in is to create an entry space where jackets, boots and the mess from outdoors stays in one easy to clean, organized place. A contractor can help reconfigure your space or make use of unused space to create this kid-friendly function to your home.
