Smart Spending Tips For Spring Home Improvements (BPT) - Spring home improvement season is on the way, and if you’re like most homeowners you have a list of jobs you want to accomplish. Some will be small, economical do-ityourself projects. Others may require the services of a professional and a greater monetary investment. However you accomplish your home improvement plans, it’s important to do so as cost-effectively as possible. To make the most of your home improvement projects this spring, take these five steps: 1. Define what you want to do. Be precise and detailed in exactly what you want to accomplish. Going into a home improvement project without a clear vision of the end result means you’ll be making decisions on the fly - and that’s the type of decision-making that can become costly. Knowing exactly what the
scope of your project will be can help you better estimate the costs and stay on track with your budget and objectives. 2. Decide if you can do it yourself or need to hire a pro. Yes, DIY can save you dough, but only if you can do the job right the first time. Fixing mistakes can cost more in the long run than hiring a professional. Be honest with yourself about your DIY capabilities, and if a project is beyond your scope, look for a pro to help. 3. Make sure you’re hiring a reputable contractor. While the majority of home improvement contractors are honorable and just trying to earn an honest living, there are also less reliable ones out there, too. Doing business only with companies or contractors who are licensed and bonded can help you weed out the scam artists.
Before that first nail goes in, make sure you’re prepared for the project.

Always seek independent reviews of any contractor you may hire. Don’t just rely on the references he or she provides. 4. Create a budget for your project, communicate it to your contractor and make sure he or she understands you’re committed to staying on budget. Good contractors know how to balance quality concerns and cost constraints and will work with you to avoid cost overruns. Your budget should lay out how much you will spend on materials and labor, with some “wiggle room� left over to cover emergencies or necessary changes. 5. Check your credit. It would be great to pay cash for everything your home needs, but it’s not always possible. It’s likely you’ll need to fund larger projects with credit, so it’s important to understand your
ture & Mattre sse
s-
credit status before you apply for any kind of loan or line of credit. Knowing your credit score and what’s on your credit report can help you better understand the likelihood of you getting the loan you need and what terms you might expect to get on a loan. Enrolling in a product such as freecreditscore.com offers you the chance to get credit score alerts, identity protection alerts and fraud resolution support. Spring is a great time to make improvements that will increase your home’s resale value and your enjoyment of your home. It’s important to make wise decisions about how you’ll manage and fund your home improvement projects, so that when the work is done, you’re left with a better home - and as little debt as possible.

Unique Upgrades to Your Home Can Make it Stand Out Remodeling your home? Don’t just keep up with the Joneses. Go a step further by giving your home truly unique upgrades. Experts say that one great way to be distinctive and add value to your home is by going natural. So if you’re thinking of redoing your countertops, floors, walls or other key home elements like no one else on your block, think marble, granite and salvaged lumber. “There is no way to duplicate nature in a laboratory or manufacturing environment,” says Garen Distelhorst, Communications Director at the Marble Institute of America. “Natural stone is quarried from rock beds formed over millions of years. You’re never going to find two pieces exactly alike.” Here are some benefits of natural materials for you to consider • Return on Investment: In many cases, marble and granite are less expensive than other premium materials and add value to a home when it’s time to sell. According to
the most current data available, natural stone recovered between 80 to 86 percent of its remodeling cost at the time of resale. • Durability: The ancient civilizations were onto something when they built their cities. Natural stone stands up to weathering and time better than any other building material, natural or manmade. Stone floors, countertops and wall cladding will last for at least 100 years in many cases. Likewise, salvaged lumber is old growth wood, which means it’s stronger and has tighter wood grains than new lumber and can give your home project historical value. • Sustainability: Natural stone is an environmentally friendly choice because it’s nearly 100 percent recyclable and is not bonded by petroleum based resins or created in a factory. And because of its durability, it won’t need to be replaced for a long time. • Versatility: The number of different colors, patterns and textures of natural stone
is limitless. This may make finding the perfect cuts to fit your design needs a bit of a chore, but what you end up with will be unique to your home. And different finishes and edge treatments can lend the same kind of stone a different quality and look, making it ideal for various applications -- from floors to walls to fireplaces to roofing shingles. • Cleaning: You can toss aside the heavy duty cleaners that irritate your eyes and nose. Warm water, mild dishwashing liquid and a soft cloth are all that is needed for regular maintenance of most natural stone surfaces. For more information on making unique upgrades to your home and locating a qualified stone contractor, visit www.marble-institute.com. By avoiding synthetic materials, you can give your home classic upgrades that are durable, beautiful and easy to maintain.

Meredith Entrepreneur Creates Cleaning Product That’s Tough On Stains, Easy on the Environment Stain Solver is a multipurpose cleaner that cleans just about anything water washable. It’s a miracle tile grout cleaner, it gets out set stains in garments, and it can clean the toughest stains in carpeting. This remarkable product is the creation of Nationally Syndicated Newspaper Columnist and National Award-Winning Remodeler, Tim Carter of Meredith, who was researching deck cleaners for a future column. The typical deck cleaning methods available at that time damaged wood often leaving wood fuzzy and white. Tim wanted to see if he could find a better way to clean — one that left the wood completely unharmed. His search lead him to a lab in Indiana, where he was told about a “miracle cleaner.” It was as tough on stains as chlorine bleach, yet nearly as gentle as water on the surfaces it was used to clean. He thought it was too good to be true so he began testing it on every stain he could find. Tim used it on decks. The cleaner removed mildew, mold, algae and returned the wood to its natural color. He used it on laundry. His clothes came out shockingly cleaner. He used it on tile grout. The gray stains

disappeared in minutes with light scrubbing. He even poured it in his toilet bowl, and watched as the stains vanished from sight with gentle swishing of the toilet brush. After six months of rigorous testing — and the wonder and amazement of friends — Tim became a believer. He named the cleaner Stain Solver due to it’s remarkable ability to remove even the toughest of stains, and started selling it from his basement. Everyone in his family pitched in, helping to hand-apply labels, fill bottles and carry them up the steps to the waiting UPS trucks. Over time, the word
spread about this “magical miracle cleaner,” and the business grew. It’s certified organic active ingredient is made in Texas and the pure soda ash comes from Wyoming. It’s a truly “Made in the USA” product. Stain Solver is a pure white powder you mix with water to create an ultraconcentrated cleaning solution perfect for cleaning: • Tile Grout • Carpets • Tough Clothing Stains • Pet Stains & De-odorizer • Decks • Patios • Roofs • Boat Hulls Stain Solver has been in
business since 1996 and has tens of thousands of satisfied customers. Live demonstrations will take place at the Lakes Region Home Show at The Conference Center at The Lake Opechee Inn & Spa booth #146 on March 9th & 10th. If you attend the Home Show this weekend, Tim will be selling special sample sizes of Stain Solver for 97 Daniel Webster Hwy Meredith, NH

Spring Is A Good Time To Think About The Winter Chill Spring is drawing nearer and, for homeowners, now is the time to shrug off the winter chill and think about home improvement plans. Building industry experts say that it’s an ideal time to carefully consider and prioritize your plans - both cosmetic and structural. Understanding what is an essential home improvement and what is purely cosmetic is fundamental for those looking to make a smart investment in their homes. The foundation, for example, is a key investment area during a renovation project. Hiring an energy rater, inspector or appraiser to examine the home will give a better sense of the required work and avoid any subsequent costly headaches. If you’re thinking of going green, small changes such as using compact fluorescent light bulbs can contribute to reducing your home’s carbon footprint. Fluorescent light bulbs typically have a longer life and use less energy thereby reducing excessive energy waste as well as monthly energy bills. Investing in energy-efficient appliances is another effective way to live green and add
value to your home. Many modern air conditioners use 30 to 50 percent less energy to produce the same amount of cool air as air conditioners from the 1970s, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Homeowners with an old central air system can consider having a new, more energy efficient HVAC system installed. While these may come with an expensive up-front cost, the savings on energy bills over the long term will prove to be a wise investment. Additionally, the inclusion of other energy efficient appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and dryers will contribute to lower energy bills. Another significant way to reduce energy consumption is to adequately seal the home to stop air leaks by opting for a smart insulation material. Insulation experts say that homeowners should survey their house from top to bottom, and assess any trouble spots such as drafty areas or cold zones which could be caused by air leakage. Air leakage can limit the effectiveness of heating systems and leave you with higher energy bills. According to InsulationSmart.com, floors, walls and ceilings can account for up to 31 percent of air leakage in a home. Spray foam insula-
tion, which can help combat air leakage, is growing in popularity amongst homeowners since it is an energy-efficient material that delivers year-round benefits. Spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, works well in all types of homes across the country, regardless of climate. Spray foam insulation performs for the life of the property, ensuring that homeowners enjoy comfortable indoor temperatures all year round without overrunning their heating and cooling equipment. Insulation experts from Icynene note that quality spray foam insulation can noticeably reduce heating and cooling costs, in some cases by up to 50 percent. Additionally, spray foam insulation helps minimize random airborne moisture and pollutants from entering the home, ideal for allergy sufferers. More information on the effectiveness of spray foam insulation is available online at www.icynene.com. Updating your home with cost- and earthconscious improvements will provide a multitude of benefits. Not only will your home be more comfortable, but you’ll be saving money and doing right by the environment.
