Window Repairs Before Weatherstripping
Improve efficiency of your weatherstripping by making certain there are no cracks between window frames and masonry walls. Leakage may occur through pulley holes around loose glass or broken putty and through wood joints if paint is poor, says the Weatherstrip Research Institute.

Remodeling Costs With Durable Materials and Fence Style
Architects estimate older houses can be remodeled into up-to-date living quarters for five dollars per square foot. Fences should harmonize with the house, white picket for white cottages, or cedar fencing for modern exteriors.
Remodeling Increases Home Value Through Durable Materials
Architects design remodeling projects using brick, stone, ceramic tile and hardwood to raise a home’s value two to three times. Kitchens, bathrooms and basements are the primary focus areas for such renovations.
