Welcome Garage Door Safety

Life and

Homes

Replacing a garage door is big for curb appeal and it’s also big on ability to recoup the cost of the project. Garage door replacement has an average cost of $1,749 but it also returns an average of $1,345 in resale value. That’s a decent return on investment.

Think you’re off the hook if your garage door doesn’t need replaced this summer? Think again. The reality is, any garage door can become a hazard if not properly maintained.

Older manual garage doors use torsion springs to make opening and closing easier. These springs are under extreme tension and shouldn’t be adjusted without the proper tools. Contact a qualified overhead door service provider if your door doesn’t stay opened or closed, or if the springs show signs of wear. Safety sensors for doors with automatic openers are attached to the rails on which the garage door rides, about 6 inches off the ground. Their job is to reverse the direction of a closing garage door if a person or animal walks under a closing garage door. To test your sensor, block the photo-eye with an object over six inches tall and press the close button on the garage door opener. The door should not close. If it does, have it checked. The garage door is one of the heaviest moving objects in your house. Teach children never to stand, run or play under any garage door, especially when the door is moving.

Test the auto-reverse. Lay an object that is at least 1.5 inches in height flat on the ground in the door’s path and press the close button. Household objects this size might be a bar of soap, stack of index cards, or a hardcover book. The door should reverse off this object. If it makes contact and does not reverse, the door is not operating correctly.

Tree Care

After A Storm After a storm, it is common for people claiming to be tree specialists to show up at your door offering services. Unfortunately, many of these individuals have little to no training and are simply out to make a quick profit. Legitimate arborists rarely go door-to-door.

newsShorts Don’t take chances: You can clear a small tree or branch yourself, if it has fallen all the way to the ground, but don’t try to work on a large tree or branch or one that is lying on a building or a car. If you do any work on a fallen tree or branch, keep your feet on the ground. Never climb a ladder with a chainsaw. Always think about where a branch or chunk of wood will fall once you cut it off; it can cause serious injury if it strikes a person.

• Is the person part of an established community business? Check for a reputable website or phone number. Online reviews may also be helpful.

Call a pro for big jobs: Let a professional remove trees or large branches that have fallen on buildings or cars. Trees are extremely heavy and tree work is dangerous. About 100 people are killed each year working on trees in the United States, many of them homeowners or small contractors without adequate training or safety equipment.

• Has the person provided evidence that they are regularly employed with the company? Some specialists work as independent contractors and have a limited relationship with the company they claim as their employers.

Stay clear of power lines: Keep well away from fallen trees or branches near power lines. Live wires may not be easy to see, and can be deadly if you accidentally touch them. Call the power company to handle these trees.

• Is the person up-to-date on certification? Ask for current certificates of insurance for property damage, personal liability and worker’s compensation..

5 Ways To Wake Your

Here are five questions to guide you in finding qualified tree-care specialists:

• Invest in packing supplies. This is not the time to skimp by using flimsy containers, newspapers. • Is the person a member of a professional association? While not essential, it is ideal that the individual be a part of a professional association of arborists, such as the International Society of Arboriculture, National Arborist Association or the American Society of Consulting Arborists. • Is the person offering a competitive price? If possible, obtain more than one estimate to ensure that the price offered is comparable with competitors. Clarify whether the price includes removal and clean-up.

Lawn Up for Spring

There are a lot of things people miss during the winter — flip-flops, shorts and warm sunshine. But one of the things homeowners miss the most is the sight of green grass. Once the temperature starts to rise and the days start getting longer, many are eager to get outside and restore their lawns to their former glory. In order to get a lush green lawn that is the envy of your block, it’s crucial to get to work at the beginning of spring. The lawn experts at Lowe’s have shared five key steps you can take right now to ensure you have a beautiful and healthy yard all year long

1. Tune up your equipment Before you start work on your lawn, you want to make sure your mower is ready for the season. This means changing out the oil, tightening up any loose bolts or fasteners and starting the season with fresh spark plugs. You should also make sure the air filter is clean, and don’t forget to have your blade sharpened. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 2. Evaluate your lawn Take note of any dead spots, snow mold or raw patches of earth that need reseeding. Use a rake to clean up dead leaves or break up any thatched areas that may have formed over the winter. 3. Take care of snow mold If you find a spot of snow mold and other types of lawn fungus that are common in early spring, take a rake and gently break up the matted grass so it can dry. Oftentimes, this will be enough to dry out the mold and get the grass in the area growing again. However, depending on the extent of the damage, you might have to patch or reseed the area. 4. Reseed where needed For the bare spots as well as areas of your lawn that are looking a little thin, overseeding is a great way to return it to its full, lush state. Spread grass seed over the area you want to patch, add some fertilizer and about a half inch of topsoil and gently rake the mixture in with the grass and soil. Thoroughly water these patches every day until the seeds begin to germinate. 5. Plant while it’s still cool The cooler temperatures in spring are ideal for roots to take hold before the hot summer weather arrives. This is why spring is the best time to seed your lawn. Also, if you’ve been thinking of planting any shrubs or trees, you should do it before it gets too warm. The smell of fresh-cut grass is almost upon us! Lowe’s has all of the products and services you need to get your lawn ready for spring. (BPT)

How To Clean Vinyl

Siding

Vinyl siding is one of the most popular type of siding material in the United States and while it’s resilient and durable building material, some cleaning and routine maintenance may be necessary. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations for tips on the care and maintenance of your siding. How do I wash vinyl siding? Wash vinyl siding with a soft cloth or ordinary long-handled, soft bristle brush. For textured surfaces, use only a soft bristle brush to keep the grooves in the texture stain-free. For best results, start at the bottom of the house and work up and rinse the cleaning solution completely before it dries. If your house has brick facing, cover the brick so that it is not affected by the runoff. But before this sticker shock scares you away, know there are secrets to saving money and still getting a beautiful bathroom. We sat down with Lynn Schrage, interior designer at Kohler Co. to learn some of her tips and tricks. Here are five of the best. Can I use a power washer? Usually, though you should read the washer instructions carefully before use. When cleaning, hold the power washer straight at eye level to keep the water on top of the siding where it can clean most effectively. Do not aim the power washer upward as water may be driven behind the siding. You should also follow the siding manufacturer’s recommendations. Some manufacturers don’t

newsShorts want pressure washers used on their products at all. Others allow them, but have limitations on the amount of pressure and the cleaners that can be used. Keep in mind that you must be cautious How do I remove mold and mildew? If you’d like to get rid of mold and mildew stains, can make your own DIY cleaning solution by combining 70% water and 30% vinegar. For a stronger cleaning formula, you can blend together one quart of liquid laundry bleach, onethird cup of powdered laundry detergent, twothirds cup of powdered household cleaner, and one gallon of water. In order to clean vinyl siding without hindering your landscaping, a solution with one cup of oxygen bleach and one gallon of water will do the trick. In addition to creating your own cleaning solution, you can purchase a general household cleanser such as Lysol or Windex to use for vigorous dirt and stains. To remove rust stains, a specialty cleanser like Instant Rust Out will be your best bet.

Rain Gutters

A $mart Choice Having properly installed and maintained rain gutters will allow them to drain rainwater away from your house, which will give you, your family and your home a lot of benefits. Soil will remain stable around the house. Gutters help prevent foundation issues, protect landscaping from damage and can prevent floods in the attic and help prevent roof rot. Sidewalk, patio, and driveway cracking can be lessened and removing standing water from around your home discourages mosquito breeding and infestation. Building standards and the way we maintain houses has changed over time. Thirty years ago, even the cheapest houses installed gutters. Many of these old houses will still be standing in a 100 years as a result of this and other good building practices.

Be sure to spot check any general or stain specific cleaner before using it on a large section of siding. After removing the stain, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use cleaners containing organic solvents, undiluted chlorine bleach, liquid grease remover, nail polish remover, or furniture polish or cleaners. They can affect the surface of the siding.

Today, we build mansions with less concern for good building practices and expose huge areas of wall to rain. Homeowners who do not install gutters on their roofs cannot expect their walls to last a lifetime. If not attended to, repair costs will soar - and if still unattended, will seriously effect structural integrity and the value of your property.

You might decide it’s worthwhile to hire a professional to clean the siding. A professional cleaning will cost around $300 to $500 and be completed in less than a day with the support of a pressure washer.

Depending on the type of material and the amount needed for the size of your home, prices can range anywhere from $3-$25 per linear foot. It’s ultimately up to you how much you want to spend. Make sure you are buying a quality product that works efficiently, matches your home’s appearance and fits your budget.

By periodically cleaning your siding, you will maintain the beauty of your home’s exterior while increasing your home value. Visit the Vinyl Siding Institute at vinylsiding.org for additional tips and resources.

Gutters are an important feature to keeping your home dry and preventing unnecessary problems. Save money now and invest in rain gutters to make the future rainy days end!

What is a

Home Inspection?

Full Service Pest Control For Your Home or Business Offering Integrated Pest Management Service. Author - Jamie T. Verner

A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of major systems and components in a home to identify systems and components of the home that are either defective or unsafe. Additionally, the home inspector identifies components or systems that are at or nearing the end of their expected life.

Systems inspected are typically:

Now, let’s discuss what a home inspection is not. A home inspection is not an insurance policy, warranty and/or a quality guarantee. The home inspector functions as a consultant and needs to have a working knowledge of home construction, systems and components. The inspection isn’t destructive or invasive and is limited to readily accessible areas of the home. The inspector isn’t expected to enter any area that may pose risk of injury or harm one’s health. Lastly, a home inspection is not meant to predict the life expectancy of systems/components or the home itself and it is not meant be an energy audit.

•Roof •Structure •Exterior •Plumbing system •Electrical system •Heating & air conditioning •Interior spaces •Insulation and ventilation A written report should be provided identifying areas of concern, system/ component defects and safety concerns with a recommended course of action. Buyers may choose to use the report as a negotiation tool during the purchase.

Jamie T. Verner is a NYS licensed home inspector with over 30 years of experience in construction trades. He’s a US Navy Veteran and brings his military experience to bear with every inspection.

One thing more than anything else that can end a real estate transaction is a poorly communicated finding of an easily corrected defect. Most things are repairable. Stay calm, get multiple estimates and if you don’t love the house, move on. There is something better just around the corner, I’m sure.
