BOOST YOUR CURB APPEAL BY PAINTING YOUR EXTERIOR When you put your home on the market, one of the best ways to pump up interest in your home is to boost its curb appeal. While installing a new mailbox or keeping the lawn well-manicured are great for maintenance, nothing boosts curb appeal quite like a fresh coat of paint on your home’s exterior.
S
ummer and early fall are a great time to pull the trigger on repainting your home. Ideally, you want warm, dry days. While there’s always a chance of thunderstorms in the summer, a simple check of the weekly forecast will alleviate any risk there. Summer is also a good time because there aren’t big temperature fluctuations from day to night. If you’ve got perfect temperatures during the day, but then a big drop after the sun goes down, the paint will react and won’t cure properly. Once you choose your painter, the next step is to start choosing your colors. First, choose the main body color of your home. This color is what most of your home will be painted, and it will set the tone for the rest of the home. Normally, you would choose something neutral like white, cream, gray, etc. If you have a change in material, such as an entry feature or second roofline, or any other secondary main material feature, include a second main color to complement the first.
Then, choose a complementary accent color that will highlight smaller details, such as doors and shutters. For example, if you paint your home an off-white color, such as cream, choose a blue hue such as navy or a red hue like burgundy to complement it. Finally, tie everything together with a trim color around the windows and eaves. If you’re not ready for an entire exterior paint job, you can still give your house a facelift with some practical touch-ups on accent pieces. Fresh, bright paint on the front door, stair rails, balconies, shutters or window sashes can vastly improve the look of your house. Plus, it’s easy to change the color on these smaller details every year or two so you can constantly update and boost that curb appeal. If you’re putting your house on the market, look into a fresh coat of paint or doing some touch ups. It’ll go a long way towards a great first impression when it comes time to show your home.

GOING FROM TENANT TO HOMEOWNER: W H AT T O K N O W You’ve been saving for a while, and you’re finally ready to move out of your apartment and take the leap to home ownership. Becoming a first-time homeowner is both an exciting and a stressful process, but the payoff is well worth it once all the papers are signed and the keys are in your hands. Be sure to read on for some useful tips for preparing for home ownership and what to expect once you move in.
Chances are, you’ve been renting from a landlord who was on the hook for minor repairs and major upgrades, not to mention yardwork and a lot of other upkeep. Now, all those tasks fall on you. SET SOME MONEY ASIDE
STAY ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE
A good rule of thumb is to set aside one percent of your home’s purchase price per year for maintenance. So, if for example, your home cost $300,000, you should put aside $3,000, or about $250 a month, for home repairs. If you’re buying a new construction home, you shouldn’t have major repairs right away and you’ll likely have a new home warranty covering any maintenance costs. By saving this money now, particularly if you’re moving into an existing home, you won’t have any surprises if a hot water heater breaks or if you need a new roof down the line.
This doesn’t just mean keeping up with yard work and cleaning, even though they’re important. You’ll want to do an annual survey of your major appliances and know what they look like when working properly. Keep your eye on the roof or visible pipes as well – catching a problem early is key to preventing expensive repairs. Keep the name of trusted plumbers, HVAC repairmen, and electricians just in case.
INSPECT BEFORE YOU BUY A proper inspection of your new home will alert you to problems that already exist. There shouldn’t be any issues in a new construction home, and, if anything, only minimal issues in an existing home, but an inspection can ensure that everything is installed properly or that you can negotiate with the seller for any minor repairs to be incorporated into the purchase price.
GET A HOLD OF YOUR FINANCES Finally, another major difference between renting and owning is the status of your finances. The first year you own a home, your taxes will become much more complex – so this might be the year you turn to a tax professional (if you don’t already do so). Second, start to budget. Chances are, you’re going to need to fill up your additional square footage with new furniture or electronics. Other things like lawn mowers, grills, and other seasonal products will be needed too, so make sure to comparison shop at the right time for a great deal.
KEEP YOUR HOME
SAFE AND DRY
DURING HURRICANE AND FLASH FLOOD SEASON
June 1 is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and it will continue through November 30. Hurricanes aren’t the only water-related danger to your home and property during the summer months. With an increase in thunderstorms, summer also brings an uptick in flash floods. Hurricane and flood warnings should not be taken lightly. If you live in a coastal area or a region prone to flash foods, be sure to take precautionary steps to keep your home as safe and as dry as possible.
Preparedness Tips:
Landscaping Tips:
y Keep loose items, like patio furniture, relatively secure at all times. You never know when strong winds or a thunderstorm will come through.
y Hurricane force winds turn landscaping materials into missiles that can break windows and doors.
y Keep boards handy in your garage or shed, just in case you need to board up your windows. Alternatively, install storm shutters to protect your windows from breakage. Remember to board up sliding glass doors or storm doors as well. y Make sure exterior doors are hurricane proof and have at least three hinges and a dead bolt lock that are at least one-inch long. y Replace old garage doors and tracks with a door that is approved for both wind pressure and impact protection. y Seal outside wall openings such as vents, outdoor electrical outlets, and locations where cables or pipes go through the wall. Use a high-quality caulk to prevent water penetration. y Keep electronics and electrical cords away from water or areas that can flood.
y Replace gravel or rock landscaping materials with shredded bark or mulch, which is lighter and won’t cause as much harm. y Cut weak branches and remove dead trees that could fall on your house. Keep shrubbery trimmed as well. y If you’re close to a river or stream, consider installing a flood wall or placing sandbags down near your property to keep flood waters from permeating your property. Finally, keep a battery powered radio, extra batteries, canned goods, and plenty of drinking water on hand as well. Also, remember to heed all warnings: stay way from windows and exterior doors, take shelter in a sturdy building, and establish an assembly point for family members to meet, if separated.
