Focusing on critical projects like curb appeal, interior, kitchen and bathroom upgrades as well as energy-efficiency improvements will enhance your living experience and increase your home's value.
Common Household items that can be used for cleaning purposes
Every household has many common natural ingredients that can be used for cleaning purposes either on their own or in combination to create powerful natural cleaners. These cleaners work as well if not better than over the counter chemicals.
Ice Dams and Ice Buildup in the Attic
The number one cause of ice dams on the roof is the lack of sufficient insulation and ventilation in the attic space. By adding more insulation and making sure there is enough ventilation in the attic, you can reduce the amount of heat that escapes from your home into the attic space, in turn reducing snow melt on the roof.
Wood destroying Insects
Wood destroying insects should be a concern in any house with a wooden structure or components. Failure to properly identify and deal with the presence of WDI can lead to damage to the structure and other wooden components of the house and create the need for expensive repairs.
Light Bulb Efficiency
My clients often ask what my recommendations are regarding upgrading from traditional incandescent bulbs to more efficient LED or CFL lights…Compared to traditional incandescent lights, they typically use 25%-80% less energy and can last 3-25 times longer. Switching to energy-efficient lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your energy bills.
What is Mold?
Molds are organisms that are part of the natural environment and play an important role in our ecological system by breaking down organic material. Molds are neither plants nor animals. They belong to the kingdom, Fungi.
