Heated driveways: Goodbye to the snow shovel?

BY DIANA MARSZALEK ■ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

While the rest of the neighborhood was digging out, Alex Geier had little problem leaving his Hinsdale, Illinois, house around 7:30 each morning last winter, no matter how much snow had piled up during the night.

No, Geier didn’t pay some kid to shovel at the crack of dawn, and he didn’t hire a private plow service.

He and his family were able to navigate even snowy mornings with relative ease thanks to a heated driveway, which melts snow as soon as it hits it.

“It’s a classic example how you can’t put a price tag on peace of mind,” says Geier, who put in the (pricy) heated driveway when his house was built in 2005. “Given the climate of Chicago in the winter, it was really nice not to have to shovel.”

As posh as it sounds, a whole lot of people are looking into heated driveways after an unusually harsh winter in much of the country.

“It’s becoming more and more popular because of an aging population of boomers who are just tired of shoveling,” says Bryan Morris, director of sales for Warmzone, a Utah-based company that designs and supplies radiant heat systems. “We sell a great deal . to whoever gets snow.”

David Veron, who owns The Veron Co., a landscape and design business in Marlborough, Massachusetts, sees

the popularity of heated driveways as part of a larger trend: Homeowners are trying to build outdoor spaces they can use year-round.

In addition to driveways, his customers are heating walkways that lead to amenities such as hot tubs and fire pits. “It’s nice to sit around those in the winter,” Veron says. “But if you have to shovel first, it’s too much of a chore.”

Morris says the uptick in business started last winter: “People were calling us saying, ‘I can’t keep up.’”

Interest has persisted, since the warmer months are prime time for doing the work to install heated driveways.

That generally entails ripping up the existing driveway and laying down snow-melting cables and mats, which can then be covered with asphalt, concrete or pavers, Morris says.

You can zone a driveway so that one part of it is heated and another isn’t. And heated driveways can be programmed to turn on automatically when the temperature drops to a certain level.

Although heated driveways unquestionably qualify as luxury items, Morris says there are so many ways to design and build them that they don’t have to be cost-prohibitive. Prices range from, say, $6,000 for a small driveway that’s about 30 feet long to the $50,000 that Geier paid for his 200-foot-long driveway.

The cost of electricity is also a factor. Again, it depends on the size

of the driveway, although Morris says that heating a small driveway for the duration of a typical six-hour storm could cost as little as $13.

A driveway heated by electricity is also cheaper than one heated by hydronics, or hot water systems. The

choice often depends on the house’s heating system, Morris says.

And many homeowners, he says, heat just enough of the driveway to drive their car out.

Despite his peace of mind last winter, Geier, who is selling his Hinsdale house,

says he doesn’t think he’ll put a heated driveway in his new home given the cost and other issues, like having to still shovel walkways and sidewalks.

But you never know. “We haven’t been through winter in our new home yet,” he says. ■

Grime on the house? Pros and cons of power washing

BY DIANA MARSZALEK ■ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s not just national monuments like Mount Rushmore than could benefit from a good power wash every now and then.

Is there grime on your siding that good old-fashioned elbow grease won’t take away? Stains on your concrete driveway? Is the deck looking dirty?

Power washing or pressure washing — the terms are used almost interchangeably — might be an option.

“People find it so powerful,” said Ken Collier, editor-in-chief of The Family Handyman magazine. “It’s so fast and it’s so liberating.”

You can hire a pressure-washing company, or do it yourself. Machines come in electric and gas models, and can be rented or purchased.

Are there risks?

“Too much pressure on vinyl siding or stucco can cause damage to the surface,” said Doug Rucker, owner of

Clean and Green Solutions in Kingwood, Texas, near Houston. “The same thing with concrete cleaning.”

Similarly, excessive pressure on a deck can tear up the wood. “When we’re cleaning wood decks, we’re using what we call low pressure,” he said.

When you’re cleaning the exterior of the house, window and door seals need to be protected to prevent leaks.

Windows could also break if you inadvertently hit them with the same pressure you’re using for the rest of the house.

And, there’s always the risk of working on ladders with a machine that has recoil. “It’s something where ladder safety is very important,” Collier said.

Homeowners also need to be aware of overhead power lines.

Still, many people decide to do the work themselves. Home supply stores offer an array of pressure washers;

prices range from about $100 to more than $1,000.

Collier said most of the skill in using a power washer lies in applying the right pressure and tip. “It’s like anything else — you have to learn how the tool operates,” he said.

Gas pressure washers tend to be more powerful, noisier, heavier and more expensive than electric ones. Manuals that come with the units should explain what types of job they’re good for.

If you decide to rent a power-washing machine, Collier advised, “Have a job in mind, ask what tip you need and if there’s an additive that will help with the cleaning.”

And don’t forget the prep work. “The finished product is only going to be as good as the preparation you did,” said John Nearon of Exterior Wood Restoration in Cicero, Indiana.

People unaccustomed to such

work might be advised not to try it themselves, Collier cautioned. “Lots of people do it themselves, but it’s also something that for most people it would be a hire and done,” he said.

Hiring a contractor to power wash a home could cost 12 cents to up to 20 cents per square foot, depending on the location and surface, according to Rucker, who also provides training for power washers.

Before hiring, ask questions: • Insurance. Is the contractor insured to cover any damage or injury that might occur when cleaning? Don’t be afraid to ask for a copy of their insurance certificate binder, Rucker said.

• Training. Do workers get continuing education to keep their training up to date?

• The process. “Talk to them about how they’re going to clean it, what

kind of process they’re going to use, down to the products they’re using,” he said. In the Southeast, for example, he said bleach is used to kill mold and mildew and keep it away longer.

• Safeguarding landscape. What will they do to protect trees, shrubs or other plants around the house or property being cleaned? Rucker said that wetting down plants and keeping them watered is important. If you cover them, he said, do it only for minutes at a time.

Power washing isn’t just for big projects; it also can be used for things like patio furniture and cars.

Collier likens the experience of using a power washer for the first time to switching from a hand lawnmower to a gas, self-propelled one. “It’s kind of a momentous thing,” he said. “You can’t say the same thing about most tools.” ■

SH 3

SPOTLIGHT: MODERN LIVING WITH VINTAGE CHARM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Realtors, has the home offered for $1,399,000.

A stunning great room features a floor-to-ceiling cherry fireplace with gas logs, crown moldings, and hardwood floors. A grand sweeping wood staircase with wrought-iron railings leads upstairs while two sets of French doors open to the back patio with spectacular outdoor kitchen.

Created for entertaining, the back patio has it all: a deluxe Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen including slab granite counters, five-burner gas grill, pizza oven, dual stove-top burner, warming drawers, sink with disposal, cooling drawer refrigerator and icemaker.

Covered by a wood ceiling with two ceiling fans and a skylight, there is plenty of outdoor dining space and three remote-control Sun Shade awnings add more room to savor the breathtaking outdoor living space with large or small gatherings.

Adjoining the great room, the welldesigned kitchen includes counter seating, lovely cherry cabinetry, slate floors, and soapstone countertops.

Kitchen appliances include a gas cooktop, double ovens, microwave and dishwasher.

A formal dining room with plenty of room for family and friends has crown molding, plantation shutters and a wall of graceful built-in display cabinets with leaded glass doors.

On the opposite side of the great room

Open House: 1812 Alamo Avenue 1:00 – 3:30 pm Sunday, August 10 Becky Gloriod, The Becky Gloriod Team Berkshire Hathaway Homes Services Rocky Mountain Realtors 719-229-9777 • www.beckygloriod.com

a comfortable family/media room with a box beam ceiling features a built-in entertainment center with flat screen TV and built-in surround sound speakers.

A fireplace with gas logs and remotecontrolled black-out shades add the perfect touch for movie night or even just relaxing and putting your feet up.

A nice-size guest bedroom on the main level has a private bath that is handicapped accessible. With travertine floors, travertine shower and raised white vanity with slab travertine countertop, this room ensures comfort and privacy.

Also on the main level, a large laundry room provides counter and cabinet space, sink and ample space for a refrigerator along with rear patio access. An office space on the main level has hardwood floors and a roomy closet makes it easy to transition to a second main level bedroom.

Atop the grand staircase a spacious hallway complements a loft area

featuring a built-in work station, (with two refrigerator drawers), designed by cabinet maker William OH’s. Nearby, an upper level laundry room adds another convenient attribute.

For additional bedroom space an upper level guest suite boasts two double closets and an adjoining bath with raised vanity, slab travertine counter, travertine floors and a large shower with built-in bench.

An additional guest bedroom is positioned near a full bathroom with travertine floor and raised vanity with slab travertine countertop.

Currently an exercise room with mirrored wall and closet could also easily be modified into a supplementary bedroom.

Remodeled by William OH’s, the master retreat leaves nothing to be desired. Crystal chandeliers and sconces; a handsome paneled wall with inset mirrors; crown molding and a big threesided gas fireplace with “rain forest”

granite surround, produces a calming oasis. Two sets of French doors open to a private deck with wrought iron railing overlooking the backyard serenity.

Finished in exquisite Carrera marble, the attached master bath brandishes a deep jetted tub, steam shower, dual vanities and built-in laundry.

A private office area sits just beyond the three-sided fireplace and displays a wall of built-ins, and a window bench with filing drawers. Vast his-and-her walk-in closets are filled with built-ins for ultimate storage.

The lower level boasts a cozy family room with new carpet, a travertine bath with shower and a good-size guest

bedroom with double closet. The utility room on this level also provides more storage.

The detached two-car garage is heated with alley access and decorative hand-painted tiled murals and tons of storage space in the top.

The latest upgrades and improvements include new electrical, new mechanical, new plumbing, new Marvin windows, top-of-the-line sound system, new kitchen and new composite roof in 2006/2007. Bathrooms have been remodeled by William OH’s as well as the his-and-hers master bedroom closet. A top of the line security system includes nine security cameras. ■

CAN WE TALK? Elderly often targets of high pressure scammers

BY TERRY R. BRUNETTE ■ DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL COMMUNITY RELATIONS

We all need to watch out for our Senior Citizens.

According to the 2010 census there are over 72,000 residents over 65 years of age living in El Paso County. A couple of weeks ago I received a call from a senior citizen that lives in the area hit by the hailstorm in late May. She lives alone.

After being approached by countless roofing salesmen one pressured her enough to sign an agreement. The price for the reroof was over $90,000. There is no single family home in El Paso County that I’m aware of that would cost anywhere close to $90,000 for the roofing materials she had on her home.

I received a call from this woman after she had tried to cancel the contract.

Apparently the salesman became very aggressive and threatened to sue her for 20% of $95,000 if she tried to cancel the contract.

I called the out of town contractor and talked to the owner. I told him I was going to go by the property the next day and get a copy of the agreement and have our attorney review it. The contractor questioned my authority to get involved with this and threatened to sue me if I pursued it. I told him that as a long time resident of Colorado Springs I would not let anyone mistreat our senior citizens. It turned out the owner had also contacted SVAT — “Senior Victims Assistance Team.” SVAT is part of the CSPD. Later that evening I was contacted by an officer from SVAT

letting me know that the salesman went by that evening and voided the agreement. The officer who contacted me further stated that he is having CSPD start an investigation of the contractor.

This one worked out, but the poor women lost a lot of sleep over the scam.

I fear that this type of thing happens more often than we know about. Many people target the elderly and are very good at pressuring them to have work performed that might not be needed.

Often, the victim is so embarrassed that he or she let themselves get taken advantage of that they don’t ask for help getting the situation resolved. I’ve had calls from loan officers at local banks advising me that are sitting with a long time customer that is trying to borrow money to pay off a scammer.

It’s heartbreaking.

We at RBD are working on putting together a program to help educate our seniors. We are doing this in collaboration with the SVAT team, the Neighborhood Organizations, HBA Cares and whomever else might be willing to help. Maybe the local churches and ministries will be willing to help by posting an information page inside their churches or in their bulletins.

This effort is in its infancy but is long overdue. In the meantime, if you have seniors living in your neighborhood you might want to check in on them from time to time. And if you see any construction vehicles at their house it wouldn’t hurt to go over and start a conversation.

More information will follow as we get this program put together.

While on the topic of roof replacement, there is limited help available if you know someone that needs a new roof but does not have the financial means to get it done.

Have them contact the El Paso County Roofing Contractors Association. There is an application required and if the person qualifies they may receive help depending the available funds.

Be smart call PPRBD at 327-2880 before signing a contract to have constructions work performed on your home. ■ All of my previous columns are available on our website www.pprbd.org.
