which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions to support a healthier environment. Spray foam insulation can be used in new home construction or additions and insulation upgrades to existing homes (attics, crawlspaces) during remodeling projects. With spray foam insulation you can maintain healthy indoor air while reducing your HVAC equipment needs and saving on energy bills. In addition, homeowners can conserve construction materials without the need for excess sealing and still achieve optimal airtightness.

Spray foam insulation doesn’t pass off gas over time, performs at peak levels for the lifetime of your home, and, because airborne moisture is controlled, the durability of the building remains unthreatened by the growth of mold and mildew.

Home is where the heart is, where families grow, and generally where the most of our leisure time is spent.

Working with green technology for the best insulation will keep your house warm, welcoming, comfortable and cozy -- and will save you money, all at the same time.

Insulation advancements are on the horizon at all times, experts say. Take a look at soft, expanding spray foam insulation and air barrier material. This type of insulation protects homeowners from the harmful outdoor environment and from energy-robbing air leakage.

Why are homeowners turning to spray foam insulation? Experts tell us that older insulation types, such as fiberglass, will settle, compact and sag over time, decreasing their insulation properties. Spray foam

Curb Appeal From the Ground Up When it’s time to sell your home, you want to do everything you can to make it enticing to potential buyers. One of the most important things you can do is boost your home’s curb appeal.

In fact, the National Association of Realtors says that curb appeal sells 49 percent of all homes. To help you build curb appeal from the ground up, TruGreen and Jason Cameron, licensed contractor and TV host, have teamed up to give you some simple, doable tips to improve your lawn and landscape.

Water Right

Improper watering can be a big drain on curb appeal. Check the working condition of sprinkler heads and water lines to make sure they’re working properly. To ensure your manual or automated watering system covers the landscape efficiently, set a one-inch deep empty food can in the middle of your lawn so you can measure the depth of water collected each watering cycle. In addition: -Don’t over water. Watering too much can result in shallow plant roots, weed growth, storm water runoff, and the possibility of disease and fungus development. Give your lawn a slow, steady watering about once a week. Adjust your watering schedule depending on rainfall, as well as your grass and soil type. Trees and shrubs need longer, less frequent watering than plants with shallower roots.

-The best time to water is early morning, between 4 and 7 a.m. This helps reduce evaporation, since the sun is low, winds are usually calmer and temperatures cooler. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that you can lose as much as 30 percent of water to evaporation by watering midday. Always be mindful of local water restrictions.

-Take advantage of rain. Let nature water your landscape as much as possible. Rain barrels are a great way to harvest rain for watering your plants later on - and it saves you money on your water bill, too.

Complement With Color

Create an instant pop of color to help your home’s curb appeal bloom this spring. Consider your home’s exterior when selecting flowering plant combinations for plant beds, window boxes or front porch planters. With a white house, any color combination will work well. With a yellow house, red or pink blooms tend to complement best.

Here are some other colorful tips to keep in mind: -For a calming effect, use cooler colors like blue, green and purple. They blend into the landscape for a peaceful look.

-Bold colors add excitement to the landscape. Warm yellows, oranges and reds make the garden lively. Yellow reflects more light than other colors, so yellow flowers will get noticed first.

-To brighten up a dark or shady corner, use pale colors, like pastel pinks and yellows.

-Not all color needs to come from flowers. Foliage can be a great landscape enhancer, so look for colorful grasses and plants like silvery lamb’s ear, variegated hostas, and Japanese painted ferns.

3 Ways to Boost Curb Appeal for Under $100 Grass vs. Weeds

Weeds are plants growing where you do not want them to grow. They can be unsightly in both your lawn and landscape beds.

Grassy weeds can be subdivided into annual and perennial grasses. Annual grassy weeds, such as crabgrass and annual bluegrass, are generally easier to control than perennial grassy weeds like dallisgrass and bentgrass. Left uncontrolled from seed, crabgrass alone can choke out desired turfgrasses and develop ugly seed heads in the summer and fall that lay the groundwork for next season’s crop.

No matter what your weed problems are, a lawn care approach that works in one region of the country doesn’t necessarily work the same in another area.

According to Ben Hamza, Ph.D., TruGreen expert and director of technical operations, TruGreen will design a custom plan to provide your yard exactly what it needs to give your lawn the right start.

“We offer customized lawn care designed specifically to meet your lawn’s needs throughout the year based on climate, grass type, soil condition and usage. And we back it up with our Healthy Lawn Guarantee,” Hamza said.

Want to add curb appeal, but don’t have much money to spend? Here are some simple things you can do for under $100.

-Clean up the yard. Put away unused items, like lawn furniture. Clear leaves and branches out from under shrubs, other plants, and the house foundation. Make sure the lawn is free from debris and that grass clippings are not left on the driveway or sidewalk. Borrow or rent a power washer to clean off the driveway, steps, sidewalk and porch.

-Trim, prune and divide. Overgrown plants can block light from getting inside the house, and they make the house and yard look unkempt. Trim shrubs, making sure to remove dead branches.

Get rid of dead or diseased plants in the landscape. If you have perennial plants that have gotten too big, divide them and plant them in other places around the landscape.

-Add new mulch. Mulch not only helps your plants, but it gives garden beds a neat and tidy finish. Wood mulch comes in different colors, but to showcase your plants the most, consider a dark brown mulch - it resembles fresh, healthy soil, so your eyes are drawn toward the plant and not the mulch itself.

Creating a Multipurpose Three-Season Room

A

space that serves as an indoor-outdoor transitional area in a home can be a valuable living space. Screened-in porches are often attractive to buyers, but are typically not as popular as a room that can be used once the warm weather has passed.

Certain features of a home can increase a home’s resale value.

According to BankRate.com, a light, airy and spacious feel is one characteristic that prospective buyers find very attractive. Richard Gaylord, a member of the executive committee for the National Association of Realtors, says, “I haven’t sold many homes that aren’t bright and airy.” Even the popular home improvement television network HGTV touts brightening up a home as a way to increase its value.

A bright, well-lit room helps people feel more cheerful and relaxed. To easily achieve more light and space, consider the

addition of a three-season-room. When paired with energy-efficient new windows, this space can make a welcome addition to just about any home.

A three-season room is often called a sunroom or extended season room. It is not to be mistaken for a four-season-room, which is fully insulated and generally has heating and air conditioning just like the rest of the house. A three-season room does not have these amenities, but it may be used year-round with the help of a portable heater.

There are many advantages to three-season rooms. * A room with regular windows can make the space more comfortable. This allows for the use of screens in warmer months -letting in air and sounds of nature. When the temperature drops, the windows can be closed to help insulate against the cold.

Real Estate Weekly goskagit.com/reweekly

www.WindermereSkagit.com * Three-season rooms can add much-needed extra floor space to the home. * These rooms can also serve as a transition between the house and the yard, which is a good way to reduce tracking dirt and debris. * They reduce the discomfort of sitting outdoors among pesky insects. * A three-season room lets in more sunlight through windows or skylights, possibly reducing home energy costs as a result. * The three-season room enables those suffering from seasonal mood disorders to extend their time spent in the sun. * A three-season rooms is often the ideal place to entertain company because it tends to be bright and cheerful.

Handy homeowners may be able to convert an existing porch into a three-season room or build one from scratch or assemble the room from a premade kit. However, those homeowners who prefer to leave the work to someone more experienced can hire a contractor.

Before getting started, it is best to contact the local building and permits office to determine which building codes for the new room must be met. While screened-in porches may be adequate with a certain level of foundation and structure, rooms that will be using glass panels or standard windows may need some modifications to make them safe. Apply for the necessary permits and have the work inspected to be sure it is legal.

Where you locate your sunroom may depend on the direction of the sun or the space you have on the property. Consider your landscape and property lines before doing any building.

You may have to reframe certain parts of the room if you are converting a porch to a sunroom. Be sure to use materials that will accommodate the addition of heavier, thicker glass or windows.

Many homeowners find weatherproofing the room is a good idea. Use construction-grade materials you can commonly find at home improvement centers. Wrapping the room in a material that guards against heat, humidity and moisture will ensure a more comfortable environment once construction is complete.

Building a three-season room can add substantial value to your home and create another family-friendly space.

Eco-friendly hardwood floors lead healthy home trend

The “healthy home” movement has become more than just a decorating fad. It marks a major shift in the priorities and ideologies of consumers who are now making concerted efforts to seek out eco-friendly and health-conscious decor choices for their homes. Innovative designers and manufacturers have caught on to this reality and are now giving consumers more options for healthy materials for their homes.

The fact is more and more information is written about the negative impact of environmental toxins on our health. Many of us aren’t aware, unless we have allergies or a child with allergies, that paint odors, stains and chemicals used in manufacturing can make us sick. Making home environments healthier has become a prime concern with homeowners, as shown by the demand for low VOC paints, stains

and materials, as well as natural wood cabinets, furniture and floorings.

Certain manufacturers are more than answering the call for healthier, eco-friendly home decor options by setting new trends in “green” product innovation.

Mercier Wood Flooring, one of North America’s leading hardwood flooring manufacturers, is setting the tone in the home decor category with its latest eco-flooring innovation.

Made using 100 percent pure soybean oil, this revolutionary new factory-finished flooring boasts zero volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) is hypoallergenic and offers a comprehensive 35-year warranty.

Available in all species, colors and finishes, Collin added that with this new product

innovation you can create a natural wood floor that offers both a distinct character to your decor, as well as a healthy, eco-friendly choice for your entire family. “We feel our Generation Greenguard flooring answers the need parents have to create healthy living environments in their homes for their children.”

Children are more sensitive to environmental exposures than adults because their bodies and brains are still developing. They breathe faster than adults and in return receive a higher dose of indoor pollution per body weight, which is why products like these are such a welcome option for discerning homeowners and their families.

Ideal for kids’ rooms, living rooms, daycares, schools and playrooms, this new generation of flooring is a key step in the process of creating the ideal healthy home.
