Help Your Home Fight Back Against the
SUMMER HEAT Summer is here, and the sun is out in full force. Just like your skin is susceptible to sun damage, so is your house. Make sure your home is protected by focusing on these four essential elements.
PAINT
ROOF
To make sure you get the most out of your exterior paint, choose a top-quality brand that will better withstand sun damage over time. Depending on how much direct sunlight you have on your home, tree borders are a good way to add shade to parts of your yard. This will add life to your paint job, and the trees will add more “life” to your lawn and landscaping.
The roof also absorbs the brunt of the sun’s power and can be the first to show sun damage. There’s not much you can do to avoid this, but if you inspect your roof closely each season, and make necessary repairs, you’ll stave off the damage.
WINDOWS Keep your cold AC inside and the summer heat outside by checking the caulking around your windows. You may also want to consider adding awnings to prevent heat from penetrating, or keeping the blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day. This will keep sunlight out and help cut down on that utility bill.
DECKS One of the top ways to protect your deck from summer heat, especially if your deck is made of wood, is by properly sealing it with a high quality, weatherproof, UV resistant sealer. The sealer will help your deck fight back against fading and warping. Another option might be installing a retractable deck awning, which you can pull over your space during the sunniest part of the midday heat. Or consider adding a sunroom instead of a deck, which gives you a more functional, year-round, space.

PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE RESALE VALUE
Even if you have no immediate plans for leaving your home, it’s a good idea to approach renovations with resale value in mind. Upgrades that are likely to appeal to future buyers protect your investment while also improving your enjoyment of the home. One key to a successful renovation is figuring out how to personalize the space without making it so customized that it’s not attractive to other potential owners. For example, eliminating a bedroom to create a giant walk-in closet may help achieve your dreams, but losing that bedroom can be a major hit to your home’s value. These renovation ideas - which include both cosmetic touch-ups and more labor-intensive suggestions - can help boost your home’s value.
OPEN SPACE. Older homes were
often designed with a boxy, formal layout that is less conducive to most modern families’ needs. Today’s open floor plans offer functionality for everything from keeping an eye on the kids while making dinner to entertaining guests. This type of floor plan can also make small rooms feel larger and invite more light into darker parts of the house. The most cost-effective way to create an open space is to remove non-loadbearing walls (load-bearing walls help support the roof; while they can be removed there’s typically quite a bit more time, labor and expense involved). Removing a wall may not be that complicated unless you encounter plumbing or HVAC ductwork that needs to be relocated. You’ll likely have some electrical outlets to move, and both the floor and ceiling will need attention to remove lingering signs of the former wall.
CLIMATE COMFORT. Not every
aspect of home improvement is visible at first glance like a fresh coat of paint; some value-boosting upgrades are more behind the scenes. One example is climate management. If you renovate a space that needs better climate control, or if you add a new room where extending the existing ductwork is impractical, a split-ductless HVAC system may be the perfect solution. The ductless design saves HVAC contractors time during installation, therefore saving homeowners money.
UNDERSTATED
ELEGANCE.
Features like crown molding and other wood accents such as chair rails are elegant upgrades that can elevate a home’s value with a relatively modest investment. An office or dining room is the perfect place to introduce these design elements to add a bit of formality to the space. You can also find crown molding in spaces like the living room, with the molding coordinating with built-in shelving flanking a fireplace.
COLOR CHANGE.
Although paint is one of the easiest ways to personalize your home, it’s also one of the least expensive, simplest ways to improve its value and appearance. A fresh coat of paint, inside or out, can create an appealing illusion of newness no matter
the age of your home. For maximum resale value, stick to neutral tones so future buyers can focus on envisioning the place as their own, without the distraction of your own vibrant choices. If you don’t like the thought of boring beige, consider adding accent walls for pops of color that can be easily changed down the road.
ADJUSTABLE
LIGHTING. A room’s ambiance can be completely transformed with lighting. For multipurpose rooms, an option like dimmer switches lets you customize the lighting to fit the use, which can vary throughout the day. A well-lit living room is essential for a large gathering or a small group gathered for game night. That same space can be equally inviting for an intimate conversation or a casual movie night with the lights turned down low. One of the best parts is minimal experience is needed to swap out standard switches for the more versatile dimmers. Plus, in today’s technologydriven world, there’s an app for seemingly everything, including lighting. Homeowners can control the ambiance from their phones by installing smart light bulbs and lighting strips.
GRUNGE-FREE GARAGE. Even though a garage’s functionality is the top concern for most buyers, a dingy, unkempt space can be a real turnoff. One way to instantly brighten and refresh the space is an epoxy coating on the floor. Applying the coating is relatively easy and once dry it helps prevent unsightly stains and damage in the future. Combine that with a thorough sweeping, wiping down walls and other surfaces, and organizing the clutter to create a more inviting space you can utilize to the fullest. BETTER BATHROOMS. Many homeowners approach a bathroom upgrade with big projects in mind, like swapping out the vanity, replacing the tub or installing tile flooring. However, it’s possible to make a noticeable impact with much smaller changes. Simply updating bathroom fixtures and fittings such as shower heads, faucets, towel racks and lighting can transform the space with minimal effort and far less work and expense than a largescale renovation.

But once you’re at the open house or walk-through, what should you look for? What real estate information will you be able to determine live that you couldn’t find in the photos and details you already looked at online? To help you prepare, here’s a list of what to pay close attention to when on a walk-through:
THE HOME’S EXTERIOR. Photos online only allow you to get so close, so while you’re on site, carefully inspect the entire exterior of the home. Is the paint chipping? Are the shingles in need of repair? How about the gutters? Repairs needed in any of these areas will factor greatly into
your bid or can serve as a helpful negotiating point.
THE SMELL. One thing you definitely cannot research online is how a home smells. So put your nose to work to sniff out mold, pet damage, air quality and general cleanliness.
THE LIGHT. Sure, those appealing descriptions may have raved about the home’s natural light but visit every room of the house to make your own assessment. THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Sure, you found out all about school quality, crime stats, proximity to transportation and more during your online research, but nothing compares to being there. Look at traffic patterns, the condition of surrounding homes, the neighbors, their yards, etc. After you’ve toured the house, take a few minutes for a quick stroll around the block. This will give you a much better sense of the neighborhood you may come to call home. Once you narrow your choices down, try driving to and from the homes during rush hour, so you can see what a potential commute would be like. THE SIZE. You might think that with tons of photos and the exact square footage listed online, you have a good idea of the size of the home, right? Yes and no. You know the size on paper, but you don’t really have a sense of size until you’re there. Photos tend to make rooms look more spacious and ceiling height adds another layer to perceived spaciousness. Above all, the most important thing you will determine from a walk-through is hard to measure – how the home feels. Square footage, kitchen and number of rooms aside, you need to be able to picture yourself living there. And that is something you can’t determine until you’re there. So, don’t rush - take your time and really try the house on during your walk-through. Reach out to a Real Estate professional advertising in this magazine for more suggestions on walk-through items.
EXPAND YOUR KITCHEN: TRY A SLIDING DOOR
Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s a place where family and friends gather. It’s also a space where you may seem to need more space, whether you’re making breakfast for the kids or hosting a big dinner party. Using innovative wall-mount door hardware, you can unlock your kitchen’s potential by freeing up the “real estate” traditional swinging doors take up. Due to their unique space-saving possibilities, versatility and aesthetics, wallmount sliding doors can make your kitchen more open and inviting. A standard hinged door consumes 10-14 square feet of floor space to swing open and shut, putting kitchen space at a premium. Single or converging wall-mount sliding doors allow you to utilize this floor space for kitchen furnishings, storage, extra mingling room for guests and more. They also give kitchens a more spacious look and can enhance your home’s design flow, making it more welcoming and facilitating movement between rooms, which is essential for gatherings and larger families with children. To maximize your kitchen’s footprint and optimize functionality, an option like wallmount door hardware from Johnson Hardware can provide a new world of architectural possibilities for your kitchen, regardless of size or layout. Ideal for wider kitchen entryways, converging wall-mount door hardware allows doors to glide smoothly as they open whenever you want a free flow for entertaining, or close for privacy during meal preparation.
Converging doors can add sophistication or create a cozy feel, depending on the hardware configuration and door style you choose. Available with or without fascia in either clear satin or bronze anodized aluminum, the U.S.-made hardware and track exceed ANSI safety standards and can successfully complete 100,000 opening and closing cycles. You can also add your own valance to match the door material and trim. Wall-mounted sliding doors also work well for kitchen pantries and large recessed shelving areas where you want to conceal clutter and ensure clean, streamlined spaces. With Johnson’s array of hardware configurations, you can create personalized looks that integrate the door designs and materials you desire with options for doors up to 125 pounds, which are equipped with wall-mounted jump-proof aluminum box tracks and adjustable door hangers for easy installation, as well as options up to 400 pounds, featuring wall-mounted, heavy-gauge I-beam tracks and smooth-rolling, ball-bearing four-wheel hangers. Installing wall-mount sliding door hardware in your kitchen - and beyond - can be an easy yet high-impact improvement that reduces space constraints while adding warmth, functionality and appeal to your home. So contact your contractor or home remodeler today to have one installed.
