Curb appeal starts with your roof color gray and cedar. Black, in particular, is always a safe bet. “It’s no surprise that black, which denotes power and authority, never goes out of style for any use,” says Smith. “From the little black dress to the luxury black car to a crisp black tuxedo, there is an upscale feeling about black that crosses product and category boundaries. • Be Trendy: Consider colors that are gaining in popularity in today’s roofs. Those include shades of green, clay and terracotta. • Complement: Consider the style of architecture and the setting of the home. For example, terracotta or clay colors are wellsuited for a Mediterranean style home. Green roofs work well in wooded settings or can easily ‘soften’ the look of a home in an exposed location. • Look Back: Bright colored roofs historically were quite common. A range of reds, greens and even golds were used on all styles of homes in the past.
(StatePoint) The color of your home’s exterior can really make or break its curb appeal. And experts say that many homeowners are gazing upward to their roofs to make a statement. “Whether you go with a timeless look or you shake things up with something more modern, the color of your roof can really be an area for true self-expression,” says national color expert Kate Smith, of Color Marketing Group and owner of Sensational Color. “Roofing colors should reflect a homeowner's personal style and tie in with the overall home exterior.” If your roofing has had a rough season, or
you simply want to change things up, take advantage of the warmer months, which are an ideal time for big home improvements. Smith, who provides color consultancy for DaVinci Roofscapes, is offering homeowners some insight into style trends: • Think Top to Bottom: Take a “top down” approach to adding eye-pleasing color palettes to your home’s exterior. Start with the roof color, then work your way down the house to consider the siding, window frames, front entry door and trim • Go Classic: The most timeless roofing colors used on American homes include black,
• Blends: Consider blending multiple colors. A mixture of two to eight colors is ideal. You can get a good sense of how they will look using free online resources. • Customize: If you can’t find the roofing color that perfectly meets your needs, don’t stress. Some roofing companies, such as DaVinci roofscapes can custom create any color imaginable. Don’t feel locked into drab or standard colors on your home’s exterior. With the right information, you can confidently give your home curb appeal this home improvement season.

(StatePoint) Sometimes the most important family conversations can be the most uncomfortable to initiate, especially those concerning the health and well-being of an aging loved one. But such discussions shouldn’t wait, say experts. “Ignoring the inevitable will only leave you unprepared for the future,” says Virginia Morris, eldercare expert and author of the new book, “How to Care for Aging Parents.” “Remember, talking about the worstcase scenarios won’t make them come true, and refusing to talk about them won’t make them go away.” In Morris’ new book, she offers a one-stop resource to those caring for an older-loved one, with advice on medical, financial, housing and emotional issues. Here are some of her tips for broaching these crucial subjects:
Talk to aging parents about the future
Listen However you launch the conversation, start by listening, even when you have specific issues you want to discuss or firm convictions about what should be done. Don’t interrupt. Acknowledge that you’ve heard what he or she has said. Your parent likely has previously unvoiced fears and hopes that you haven’t even considered. If you listen first, you will probably learn something, and your parent will be more likely to listen to your views. Things to Avoid There are several common conversational mistakes to avoid that could leave your par-
ent feeling defensive -- from nagging and lecturing to making promises you may not be able to keep.
that these documents are just a starting point.
“There are few more effective ways of blocking any further conversation than by making decisions and presenting them as a master plan to a parent,” says Morris.
Don’t accept vague comments like “don’t drag it out.” Push the conversation further. It may not be pleasant to discuss end-of-life scenarios, but knowing your parent’s wishes could help save your family from future untold agony and grief.
Additionally, don’t arrive armed with paperwork. Pages of legal documents and brochures about retirement homes will likely overwhelm your parent.
More information and resources can be found at www.CareForAgingParents.com.
Get Specific Talk -- really talk -- to your parents about their medical states and wishes concerning aggressive medical care. Get them to sign a living will and health care proxy, but realize
Concerned about an aging loved one? Opening up the lines of communication is the first step toward preparing for his or her future. So don’t sweep difficult conversations under the rug.

Spring cleaning your deck & patio (StatePoint) It’s the time of year when sprucing up your deck and patio becomes a top weekend priority. Whether you use the space for entertaining or for solitude, you’ll want it clean, comfortable and safe this spring. Take time to dust off your outdoor furniture and wipe down cushions that have been in storage all winter. Inspect flower pots, bird feeders and other outdoor décor to ensure they withstood the cooler months. Replace anything that is damaged. Before setting furniture and décor back, give the surface below a good clean. Whether you’re dealing with cement, brick or wood, the quickest and most thorough way to deep clean and restore surfaces to a like-new condition is with a pressure washer. Knowing how to use one properly is important for a quality job and for your safety. Usage Tips • Different surfaces require different cleaning techniques. Ensure you’re following the instructions for the surface you’re cleaning.
lines: • Always read and follow the operator’s manual and all operating instructions. • High-pressure spray can cut through skin, so never spray people or animals. Wear closedtoed shoes and goggles while pressure washing. • Assume a solid stance and firmly grasp the spray gun with both hands to avoid injury if the gun kicks back before squeezing the spray gun trigger. • Never spray near power lines, service feeds, electrical meters, wiring and windows. • Check the engine oil level each time you use a pressure washer. When changing or adding oil, don’t overfill the engine crankcase. Doing so can cause smoking, hard starting, spark plug fouling and oil saturation of the air filter. Buying Tips Buying a pressure washer for the first time or replacing an old one? Here are some guide-
• Pressure washers are categorized in groups based upon frequency of use and the types of products and surfaces they are best suited for cleaning. Selecting the right pressure washer for your needs depends on what you’re going to clean, how often you plan to do so, and how much time you want to spend. Ask yourself these questions before making a purchase. • Look for a versatile pressure washer that can be used for a variety of tasks with different power settings. Deep clean your patio and driveway in high pressure mode or clean more delicate surfaces and rinse away debris in high flow mode. • Consider going green with a model having reduced environmental impact. If you have an older pressure washer, a newer model could offer lower emissions and better fuel efficiency.

Get answers to legal questions about real estate ... Email your questions to reweekly@rewnc.com and we’ll get a real real estate attorney to answer them. Seriously.
the question: Is it illegal and/or unethical in any way to have two different Realtors show us homes for sale? One of the agents has already submitted an offer on a house that we like.
the answer: As each buyer situation and circumstance is unique, using more than one agent is not illegal per se (factors may include residential vs. commercial properties or varying regional areas); however, if a Buyer has signed a Buyer’s Agency Agreement, the Buyer may be liable for breach of the agency agreement when working with more than one agent. If so, the terms agreed to in the agency agreement are more than likely to control.

As far as ethical repercussions, that is a matter a Buyer must reflect and internalize. Open communication and being above board is obviously always the best route. Creating an honest and positive line of communication with your agent will help to further clarify your needs and goals as the agent is working for you!
