Tips for homeowners on their first renovation projectsHome renovations are typi-

cally exciting, as homeowners get to see the visions of their dream homes come to light right before their very eyes. Turning an outdated bath-room into a modern oasis or an empty basement into the ultimate man cave strength-ens the sense of attachment homeowners have with their homes.

But few home renovation projects go from start to fin-ish without experiencing a few bumps in the road along the way. Such bumps can be dif-ficult to handle for homeown-ers working on their first ren-ovation projects, but there are many ways for novices to nav-igate the sometimes murky waters of home improvement projects and come out rela-tively unscathed on the other end, where a newly renovated home awaits.

• Plan well and know what to expect. When working with

contractors, get all agree-ments in writing and spell out exactly what you desire in a home renovation. Photo ref-erences can help guide con-tractors and architects. Ask for the full picture of what can be expected with the work, from demolition to the punch list. Knowing what lies ahead can keep you grounded throughout the project.

• Discuss work each day and set payment schedules. Make payments contingent on work completed. This can help keep contractors on schedule. Paying for all work upfront leaves homeowners at a disadvantage, as it does not provide incentive for work-ers to be timely and efficient. Check in with workers to get daily progress reports.

• Have reasonable expec-tations. A renovation project may exceed its budget and take longer than initially ex-pected. Understanding that

these potential setbacks might be part of the process will make it easier to handle them when the foreman speaks to you about any issues that arise.

• Accept the mess. Con-struction work is messy. There’s no way to maintain a pristine house when contrac-tors are entering and exiting all day. Dust is bound to be generated, and tools can fill up rooms. A home in disarray can be stressful, but continue to visualize the end result and the mess won’t bother you so much.

• Establish a contingency plan. Bathrooms and kitchen renovations are typically the most disruptive home im-provement projects. Going without a kitchen can make it difficult to enjoy meals at home, while a bathroom re-model may require you to nav-igate water shutoffs. If your project is scheduled to take

several months, establish a contingency plan to deal with the consequences of your ren-ovation project. Speak with family members about using some of their home amenities, and prepare and freeze meals in advance so you can reheat them later on when you don’t

have access to your stove.• Plan your escape. Some-

times the constant work and mess of construction is too much to bear. Afford yourself time away by visiting relatives or staying at a hotel. Even a single night away can provide the relief you need.

A home that is undergoing a remodel can be a less than comfortable environment. But homeowners who have never before lived through a renovation project can take several steps to make the pro-cess go as smoothly as pos-sible.

Dos and don’ts of kitchen remodelsAccording to Remodel-

ing magazine’s “2014 Cost vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 percent of their initial investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed win-ner. Homeowners may inad-vertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next un-dertaking.

DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architec-tural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farm-house sink and country cabi-nets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home.

DON’T overlook the im-portance of a seasoned design-er or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors.

DO look beyond surface details to the structural integ-rity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-lasting and beautiful.

DON’T design just for to-day, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every five years, look for styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility is-sues down the road.

DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the de-sired results. Only invest in

major changes if something is not working (such as hav-ing to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.

DON’T over-improve the space. A fully equipped com-mercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent be-cause your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.

DO make sure you can af-ford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or de-sign because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatis-fied afterward.

How to close up a fireplace for the seasonA roaring fireplace on a

chilly day provides a wel-come, aesthetically appeal-ing respite from the cold.

Fireplaces are typically used throughout winter, but when spring rolls around, many homeowners no longer feel the need to light a fire. As fireplace season winds down, homeowners can take the following steps to close their fireplaces for the warm weather seasons ahead.

Begin the cleanupRepeatedly lighting fires

results in an accumulation of ash and residual wood de-bris. Clean out what you can by hand and discard the soot. To conduct a more thorough cleaning, use a high-powered garage vacuum to clear out any remaining ashes from crevices and other parts of the firebox.

Hire a chimney sweepA fully functioning fire-

place chimney should be swept annually by a certi-fied chimney sweep. He or she will remove soot and any creosote from the inside of the chimney. Creosote is highly flammable and can cause considerable damage if it catches fire.

A professional chimney sweeping also reduces the amount of dirt and odor that will continue to enter a home after the fireplace has been retired for the season. Damp spring weather can moisten soot trapped in a chimney, causing it to smell. Cleaning and deodorizing can help keep rooms fresh.

Ask for an inspectionAsk a chimney sweep

to inspect your chimney in addition to cleaning it. A

sweep can look for leaks and cracks, and he or she should also look at the flashing sys-tem and rain cap, which can prevent water infiltration. You don’t want to learn your chimney is in poor shape during a heavy spring rainfall. Ask that the pipes, brickwork and damper also be checked for functionality and good repair.

Close the damperHomeowners should close

the dampers on wood-burn-ing fireplaces when clos-ing their fireplaces for the season. Doing so prevents animals from making nests inside the chimney and pos-sibly gaining entry into your home. Closing the damper also makes the home more efficient by not letting air escape through the chimney.

Those with gas fireplaces

should leave the damper open at all times to prevent a gas buildup in the home in the case of a gas leak. How-ever, homeowners may want to extinguish the pilot light for a gas fireplace in the spring to reduce energy us-age.

Make it attractiveSome homeowners choose

to dress up a fireplace to make it look more appeal-ing in the offseason. Flowers, plants, candles, or decora-tive accents can be placed in the firebox to add style to a home.

When closing a fireplace for the season, homeown-ers can benefit from hiring a professional to ensure every-thing is done correctly and the fireplace will be in top shape and ready to warm ev-eryone up next winter.

The potentially harmful effects of mold in your homeThe presence of mold in

a home is a sight few home-owners want to see. In addi-tion to being unsightly, mold found in a home can be un-healthy.

While certain cleaners may prove effective at re-moving mold, homeowners who want to remove existing mold growths and prevent future growths may benefit from gaining a greater un-derstanding of mold and why it grows inside homes.

What is mold?Mold is a blanket term

used to describe fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. Many species of mold exist, and the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention notes that some estimates suggest there may be more than three hundred thousand different species of mold. Common indoor

molds include cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria, and aspergillus.

Which conditions promote mold growth?

Homeowners may notice that mold tends to grow in specific areas of their homes but not in others, and that’s because molds grow best in certain conditions. Warm, damp and humid condi-tions, such as those found in poorly ventilated bathrooms and basements, make ideal breeding grounds for mold.

What are the effects of mold exposure?

Molds are a natural and resilient part of the environ-ment, but mold growth in-doors should be addressed and avoided. Mold spores are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, and when these spores attach to wet surfac-es, they begin to grow. Once

these spores begin to grow, they can then affect people in various ways. Roughly a decade ago, the Institute of Medicine found sufficient evidence to support a link between exposure to indoor mold and respiratory tract issues, such as coughing and wheezing in people who were

otherwise healthy. The same report found that mold may trigger asthma symptoms among people with asthma and hypersensitivity pneu-monitis, a disease in which the lungs are inflamed when a person breathes in certain dusts he or she is allergic to, in people susceptible to that

condition.Some people who do not

have a preexisting condi-tion can still be sensitive to molds. When exposed to mold, such people may ex-perience symptoms like na-sal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation.

How can exposure to mold be decreased at home?

Adequate ventilation is arguably homeowners’ best friend with regard to reduc-ing mold exposure at home. Control humidity levels in areas of the home that tend to be warm and humid, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Install an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom and a window in the bathroom if yours does not already have one.

The CDC recommends that humidity levels be no higher than 50 percent

throughout the day, and an air conditioner and dehu-midifier can help you keep indoor humidity levels in check, especially during the summer when humidity lev-els tend to be their highest of any time during the year.

When renovating your home, remove any existing carpeting from bathrooms and basements and toss out soaked carpets or upholstery as well. If painting will be part of your home renova-tion projects, add mold in-hibitors to paints prior to ap-plication.

Mold that grows inside a home is unsightly and po-tentially unhealthy. But concerned homeowners can take several reactive and proactive steps to reduce ex-isting mold growths and pre-vent them from returning in the future.

Explore the alternatives to granite countertops

Granite has long been a popular countertop mate-rial for homeowners look-ing to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal in their kitchens. But granite is no small investment, and home-owners looking to refurbish their kitchens should know there are a multitude of countertop materials avail-able to those working on a budget or those who simply want to give their kitchens a different look.

• Solid wood: Wood coun-tertops create a warm, hom-ey interior. Butcher block counters are less expensive than granite and do not nec-essarily need to be ordered from a speciality retailer. But wood can stain and dent and can even burn when hot kitchenware is placed atop it. Regular application of oil

can help homeowners main-tain the appearance of their wood counters for years to come.

• Marble: Marble tends to be less expensive than granite without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. However, marble is softer and more porous than granite, so it can stain and be etched. Dili-gence in wiping away spills, routine sealing and a gentle touch is necessary for those who choose marble counter-tops.

• Soapstone: This is a nat-ural stone composed mainly of mineral talc that gives the stone its smooth feel. Soap-stone ranges from black to gray but can sometimes have a green shade to it. Other materials in the stone can produce veining. Although softer than granite, soap-

stone is still high-density and will hold up well. It’s imper-vious to stains and bacteria, and exposure to chemicals will not damage it.

• Quartz: Quartz is a man-ufactured product made of stone aggregate and poly-mers compressed under high pressure. It has the look of natural stone but re-quires less work to maintain. Quartz has consistent colors and patterns and is a nonpo-rous material, so it will not need routine sealing and re-sealing.

• Glass: Glass countertops are back-painted, so home-owners can order just about any color they want. Glass will be tempered, so it is safe and heat-resistant. Glass can scratch, though, so it is not as impervious as other materi-als.
