Thanks to federal legislation instituted a few years ago, it’s now an easy process for consumers to monitor their credit profiles and spot areas that need improvement.

Each year, you can simply log onto www.annualcreditreport.com to order a free report from each of the three credit bureaus or to purchase your credit score for about $15.

Now, you’ve got another tool in your financial management arsenal. HSH Associates, the nation’s largest publisher of mortgage and consumer loan information, has created a Credit Grade Calculator to help assess your credit. While it’s not the same as an “official” FICO credit

“I will provide an outstanding mortgage experience from application to closing”

score, it can help you gauge your overall credit standing.

HSH’s calculator is based primarily on the number of late payments you’ve made in the past year, so be prepared to plug in a couple of numbers and answer a few questions. Of course, different lenders may grade you higher or lower depending upon their internal underwriting standards, but when it comes to your personal credit rating, more information is better.

To evaluate your financial health using the Credit Grade Cal-

culator, visit HSH’s web site at www.hsh.com/creditscorecalc.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

Professionalism: The Key To Finding A Quality New Home Builder

If you are in the market for a new home, you of course will be looking to buy one constructed by a qualified professional builder. Professionalism is one of those concepts where you know it when you see it, but you may have trouble defining it. There is no single definition, but there are certain principles that a building professional will practice.

Building professionals exhibit a strong responsibility toward their customers and their community.

Honesty is their guiding business policy, and they believe in dealing fairly with customers, employees, trade contractors and suppliers.

They try to build high standards of health, safety, and

efficency into every home.

They are licensed by the NC State General Contractor Licensing Board for any project larger than $30,000 They have and show proof of appropriate liability insurance for your project Maintain a clean well organized job site Provide refferals from past satisfied customers who verify both the builders work quality and their after the sale service and warranty work.

Have long term established relationships with highly skilled and respected trade part-

ners such as electricians, plumbers, drywall installers, painters, etc…

Another important indicator of professionalism is whether the contractor belongs to a builders association or other professional groups such as The National Association of Home Builders. Becoming a member in good standing of such groups usually means that a builder is an established member of the community. Builders associations encourage research to develop materials, new building techniques, new building equipment, and im-

proved methods of home financing so that home buyers receive the greatest possible value for their money.

The quality of a new home will be determined by the skill of the building professional and his trade partners who construct it. You should shop for a builder as carefully as you shop for the features of a home.

When you buy a new home, you are not just buying a structure. Along with the structure comes a package of services, and the quality of those services will have an important effect on your enjoyment of the house.

So, don’t to rush the process. Set a reasonable timetable for your search, and do not make your decision until you

PAGE D5

By Jarrett Deerwester Moore County Home Builders Association President

feel comfortable about what you are doing. You will be in frequent communication with your builder during the construction process and after you move into the house, so try to choose a builder with whom you will feel comfortable working.

Buying a new home will be the largest single purchase you

will ever make. So make sure that you buy it from a qualified professional builder. For more information on choosing a builder, contact The Moore County Home Builders Associaiont at www.mchba.com or visit www.nahb.org/forconsumers.

Protect your home from termite damage

PAGE D6

(ARA) - As Americans head outside to tend to their lawns and repair their houses, it's just as important to consider what might be happening out of sight, deep inside the home.

Termites, which are found in every state except Alaska, live in colonies that eat continuously. These wood-destroying pests eat homes from the inside out, making their presence difficult to detect. Termites annually cause more than $5 billion in damage, and the destruction termites cause is not normally covered by homeowners insurance, leaving owners to pay an average of $3,000 in out-ofpocket costs for repairs, according to Terminix.

"In most cases, it's easy to tell when a house is in need of repair. Either the paint is chipping or the roof is leaking. But that's not usually the case with termite activity," says Paul Curtis, a Terminix entomologist. "Because termites are often active in the least visible areas of a home, it can be difficult for the homeowner to tell whether they have a termite problem or not."

Usually, homeowners will only be able to tell they have a termite infestation during swarm season. That's when winged, reproductive termites leave their colonies and establish new ones.

A swarm can be identified by the large number of flying termites and by the discarded wings they often leave near doors and windows.

"Termites do not discriminate. They eat wooden framing, support beams and the wood flooring inside your home the same way they would a tree in the forest," Curtis says.

While swarming only

takes place during certain times of the year, termite colonies never stop eating, even to rest or sleep.

Unless evidence of a swarm is discovered, or damage is severe enough to be noticed, a trained professional will most likely be required to identify the presence of termites within a home.

Although eliminating termites requires the help of a trained professional, homeowners can take the following proactive steps to make their homes less inviting to these wood-destroying pests: 1. Fix the roof or plumbing leaks. The moisture from these allows termites to survive above ground.

2. Clean and repair gutters. Gutters that do not drain properly can allow water to accumulate near the foundation.

3. Eliminate woodto-soil contact. Any wood that simultaneously touches the soil and the home can provide termites with

direct access to the structure.

4. Keep mulch or soil from being piled against the home's siding. Soil or mulch allowed to pile up against the home can hide termite activity.

5. Avoid storing items in the crawlspace. Pieces of scrap lumber, boxes or even books can serve as a food source for termites.

6. Maintain adequate ventilation in crawlspaces. Termites prefer moist conditions.

Eliminating moisture can help make the environment less suitable to them.

7. Use a mesh screen on all windows, doors and ventilation openings.

Screening will help prevent winged termites from entering the home.

8. Schedule an annual inspection with a trained professional.

Prompt treatment and regular inspections can save thousands of dollars in damage repair.

THE PILOT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

(ARA) - Whether you're remodeling a kitchen or bathroom or adding a bedroom, one of the most important decorating steps is choosing windows to match the architectural style of your home.

For example, you wouldn't use a zebra print shower curtain to complement a nautically themed bathroom. Likewise, a contemporary casement window may not harmonize with the decor in your vintagethemed kitchen. The wrong window option can detract from your home's style.

"Window styles can dramatically change the way you interact and feel in a room," says Elaine Sagers, Pella Corporation's vice president for marketing and customer support. "For instance, installing a wall of fixed windows that showcases a beautiful garden or

scenic landscape can instill feelings of tranquility and peace. The right window style can enhance the mood in a room and the overall appearance of your home."

Pella Windows and Doors make it easy to determine what window style suits your remodeling or replacement project.

The company's website offers step-bystep instructions on how to choose a window based on your style, energy performance needs and budget.

Style matters First, consider the style of your home.

For 2010, traditional is the most popular kitchen and bath design style, followed closely by contemporary, according to a National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) survey.

Windows don't have to be boring. "Think outside the box and

choose something that shows off your style and personality," Sagers says. "Pay attention to functionality as well. Plus, when you choose qualifying energy-efficient replacement windows and doors, you can earn a 2010 energy tax credit and help save on your utilities in the long-term."

Window types Casement windows Often called crank-out windows, these open and close outward with the turn of a handle. The single sash creates a clear view to the outdoors, popular in contemporary homes and hard-toreach places, like over a bathtub or kitchen sink.

Awning windows Hinged at the top, these windows open out like an awning, ideal for rainy climates to enjoy fresh air during a gentle rain.

They're often used above or below other

Out & About

windows and doors, in bedrooms and in hard-to-reach places.

Double-hung windows - These windows offer flexibility to raise or lower each sash for ventilation, traditional style.

Single-hung windows - A traditional style opened by raising the bottom sash, use in easy-to-reach places like bedrooms.

Sliding windows - A contemporary-style sliding sash moves horizontally to help reduce reaching when opening or closing this window.

Bay and bow windows - When wall space is limited or additional accent is desired, a traditional-style bay or bow window features more windows to capture a beautiful view outside.

Fixed windows Since they do not open, energy-efficient fixed windows let in light and provide a focal point.

Special shape windows - Achieve architectural interest with styles ranging from circles and half-circles to trapezoids, pentagons and more.

Color adds punch Next, determine your

room's color palette.

Match your window trim to the woodwork for a contemporary, finished look, or experiment with a complementing woodwork or finish color for a fun, less formal style.

Many windows offer hardware options.

Color-matched hardware for sash locks or cranks provides a seamless look, while metal finishes, like oil rubbed bronze or satin nickel, make a bold, artistic statement. NKBA named brushed nickel, polished chrome, satin nickel, bronze and stainless steel as the most popular finishes for 2010.
