Exterior renovations that improve curb appeal Neglecting a home’s exterior can be a disservice to homeowners, particularly those looking to increase the value of their homes.

Curb appeal is important, as a home’s appearance can greatly affect prospective buyers’ perceptions.

Knowing which projects can offer the most bang for their remodeling buck can help homeowners make the right choices when improving the exterior of their homes.

The following are some areas where homeowners can direct their focus if their end goal is a great-looking home with added value, as determined by the 2019 “Cost vs. Value Report” from Remodeling magazine.

This report compares the average cost of 22 remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale across 136 markets.

GARAGE DOOR REPLACEMENT

Homeowners can recoup 97.5 percent of their investment on a new garage door.

This remodel tops the list for good looks and value.

The average cost for replacing an existing two-car garage is $3,611.

MANUFACTURED STONE VENEER

Replacing a portion of vinyl siding with stone veneer can greatly improve curb appeal, adding style that can set a home apart.

Stone veneer siding consists of thinly cut pieces of stone that are applied to the side of a home.

Homeowners can expect to recoup a 94.9 percent return on their investment.

WOOD DECK ADDITION

A wooden deck on the rear or side of a home enhances homeowners’ ability to enjoy the outdoors year-round.

For more information on wood decking, wood decking trends, winter preparedness and maintenance, see page 12.

A wood deck addition recoups 75.6 of the cost of homeowners’ initial investment.

SIDING REPLACEMENT

Not only does old or weathered siding look unsightly, it can decrease the energy efficiency of a home.

Local shows offer advice, inspiration 2020 events provide homeowners with overview of Peninsula goods, services

NPBA EXPO

Looking for a few ideas on how to improve your home or landscape? Are you interested in meeting local contractors, service providers and designers?

No need to worry. Several upcoming home improvement-based shows are planned on the North Olympic Peninsula early next year.

NPBA EXPO IN SEQUIM

The North Peninsula Building Association’s Building, Remodeling and Energy Expo will be held at Sequim High School, 601 N. Sequim Ave., on dates that have yet to be announced.

As the largest building show on the Peninsula, the expo is one the best ways for building professionals to connect and share their expertise with large numbers of potential clients.

The free expo will offer many exhibitor booths, demonstrations and giveaways in both school gyms and the cafeteria from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Most booths will be set up in the north

GALA GARDEN SHOW

and south gyms.

Demonstrations will take place in the cafeteria.

NPBA will host a number of demonstrations and workshops on both Saturday and Sunday.

Parking for attendees will be available along the school’s north side.

Visit npba.info.

GALA GARDEN SHOW IN SEQUIM

The 22nd annual Soroptimist Gala Garden Show in Sequim will provide inspiration for gardeners Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22.

The gala will be held at the Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

It brings together products and professional services from horticulture and garden-related businesses to promote the Peninsula as a gardener’s paradise.

REPLACE THE GARAGE DOORS FOR A MAJOR UPGRADE.

APPEAL from page 3 Even though a siding replacement project is costly — at roughly $16,000 — it offers a 75 percent return and peace of mind that the home is being well-protected from the elements.

NEW ENTRY DOOR

Replacing an existing door with a 20-gauge steel door complete with clear dual-pane half-glass panel, jambs and an aluminum threshold

with composite stop gets homeowners 75 percent of their initial investment back at resale.

Replacing the door isn’t all about good looks, either. A door that isn’t well-insulated or secure can be problematic.

In addition to these improvements, homeowners would be wise to focus on some upgraded landscaping, an upgraded roof, new windows and improved exterior lighting as surefire ways to add curb appeal.

— Metro

Clallam County Master Gardeners will present a speaker’s series to provide education and inspiration for gardeners of all levels.

Music, food and a garden wagon raffle will round out the events of this garden gala.

Admission costs $5 per person. Children 12 and younger receive free admission.

The gala is presented by Soroptimist International of Sequim, which is celebrating more than 70 years of service to the community.

The Soroptimist Gala Garden Show has its roots in fundraising for community scholarships — the Live Your Dream Award, a medical loan closet, First Teacher, Sequim Community Aid, Rose House, the Food Bank and the Boys & Girls Club — to name a few.

HOME & LIFESTYLE SHOW IN PORT ANGELES

The free 38th annual Clallam County Home & Lifestyle Show will be held in the Port Angeles High School gymnasium, 304 E. Park Ave., from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15.

Previous shows have featured more than 150 booths highlighting an array of services and products available from area businesses.

The show is the largest two-day marketing event on the North Olympic Peninsula.

An estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people from across the region attend the show annually.

The home improvement event is a bazaar of contractors and suppliers, service providers and recreational opportunities.

Until 2015, the gathering was known as the KONP Home Show. Sponsored by KONP 1450 AM and 101.7 FM and Clallam County Public Utility District, the Home & Lifestyle Show is a showplace for businesses on the Peninsula and elsewhere to display their services and for prospective customers to gather information for spring and summer plans.

The show is a perfect opportunity to market a business, educate the community about services offered or speak face-to-face with potential clients, according to show organizers.

Exhibitors are available to help show attendees achieve “quality of life” in their home and lifestyle.

Parking will be available in the student parking lots on the 200 and 300 blocks of East Park Avenue.

A free shuttle will take visitors from parking areas to the gym.

Visitors to the show will receive a free reusable shopping bag for as long as supplies last.

Home improvement businesses will be on hand to offer information on gutters, bathroom fixtures, blinds, windows, roofing, lawn care equipment, landscaping, heating and cooling systems and more.

Lifestyle businesses, such as fitness centers, home health and beauty products, also will be represented.

The show attracts new businesses each year along with dozens of returning exhibitors, so the show offers something new to attendees each year.

Getting to the root of the problem

BY JEANETTE STEHR-GREEN It happens to every gardener: You are providing the care you think your plants need and then one of them up and dies.

Sometimes it is a dramatic death: the needles turn a flaming bronze color, the entire plant wilts or the tree just falls over. Sometimes it is a slow lingering death.

You examine the leaves, branches, stems and flowers and see no signs of pests or diseases.

So what happened? What went wrong?

Maybe the “root of the problem” was just that — the roots.

ground symptoms first.

Common findings include yellowing and premature loss of leaves, stunting and reduced growth of the plant and death of twigs and branches.

But these symptoms are fairly non-specific.

Findings more suggestive of root problems include wilting of the plant and browning around the edges of the leaves (called marginal necrosis).

But even these symptoms have many causes.

THE ROOTS AND CROWN OF RASPBERRY PLANTS INFECTED WITH PHYTOPHTHORA, A FUNGAL-LIKE DISEASE, HAVE A CHARACTERISTIC RED-BROWN (CINNAMON) COLOR. OSU PLANT CLINIC COLLECTION

MAKING THE DIAGNOSIS

If you see any of these symptoms, look for above-ground pests and diseases and consider your watering and fertilizing practices.

If plant care has been adequate and no other cause for the symptoms is apparent, look at the roots.

Consider the quantity and quality of the roots.

Remove the outer bark of the main stem or trunk and cut through a couple of the larger roots lengthwise and in cross-section.

This examination might mean the end for that plant, but figuring out the problem can help you prevent it from happening to other plants in your garden.

Normal roots are firm and completely white or tan. The root mass (including the root hairs) should balance, if not exceed, the above ground portion of the plant.

ROOT PROBLEMS

Roots comprise a substantial portion of a plant’s mass and perform a number of vital functions.

Quite obviously, they anchor and support the plant so that leaves get maximal air circulation and exposure to sunlight.

They absorb oxygen for respiration, as well as water and inorganic nutrients essential for photosynthesis and plant growth.

Roots also store water, carbohydrates and other nutrients for future use by the plant.

Given these functions, it is no surprise that when root problems occur, we usually notice the above

If the roots are soft, discolored (for example brown, gray or black), deformed or lacking in number, then the roots could be the source of the problem.

Determining the specific cause of a root problem is not easy. Many online sources are available to help you diagnose plant problems. You can also consult local Master Gardeners for help. (See sidebar on page 9.)

Certain findings, however, will be obvious to most observers and can point to a specific diagnosis. Here are a few examples.

• The main roots and crown of plants infected with Phytophthora sp., a fungal-like disease, often have a characteristic red-brown (cinnamon) color. (See photo on opposite page.)

• Armillaria root rot, a fungal infection of trees and shrubs, is associated with white threadlike masses (sometimes referred to as “mycelial fans”) under the bark of the root crown and lower stems.

Clusters of honey-colored mushrooms (fruiting bodies for the fungus) often appear around the base of an infected plant.

• The fungal disease red stele turns the center of strawberry roots reddish-pink (and eventually cinnamon-brown) while the outer root tissue remains white.

The roots have few feeder roots resulting in a “rat-tail” appearance.

TIPS FOR PREVENTING ROOT PROBLEMS

Even with a diagnosis, you often cannot save a plant with root problems, but you can prevent it from happening again.

Here are a few tips to ensure root health in your garden.

Plant selection. When purchasing a plant, look for signs of root problems.

Give the plant a quick shake. A plant that’s unsteady in its pot might just be immature and need to stay in the pot a bit longer. But it could be a sign of root disease. Ask nursery staff if you can look at the roots before purchasing it.

Roots coming out of drainage holes in a pot or wrapped around the base of a plant suggest that the plant has been in the pot for a while and is root-bound.

If you purchase this plant, you will need to untangle the roots (see below) and baby it a bit after planting.

Locating the plant in your landscape. When you get your purchase home, look for a spot that not only provides the sun exposure needed by the plant but has soil that drains well.

Constantly soggy soil reduces the amount of oxygen roots can take up. The roots will suffer and ultimately die; in their weakened state they are more likely to become victims of fungal and bacterial diseases along the way.

If plants in your landscape have had root diseases in the past, avoid planting susceptible plants in the same spot. Some root diseases and pests remain viable in the soil for many years.

Planting. Before planting, remove paper pots or burlap from around the root ball. Also remove any string or wire around the base of the plant.

Got moss?

Here’s how to remove & prevent the green stuff

BY LAURA FOSTER Owning a home in the Pacific Northwest can present certain challenges, with one of them being moss growth on roofs.

But it’s not just moss, said Tim Barber of Sequim Property Services (sequimpropertyservices.com).

“It’s moss, lichens and algae,” he said during a recent visit to a client’s home in Sequim, near the Dungeness Spit.

Mosses are characterized by their simple root structures, stems and leaves. The easiest way to tell lichen and moss apart is to look for stems and leaves — no matter how miniscule, mosses have them, and lichens don’t.

“Algae is paper thin,” Barber added.

Moss thrives in a damp, shady environment. For this reason, it often occurs on the north side of a roof,

since it receives the least amount of sun — or under overhanging trees that provide shade.

Once you’ve confirmed you have a moss problem, and depending on the severity, it could be very simple to remove, or it could take a little extra elbow grease from the pros.

You can physically remove moss from your roof with a long-handled scrub brush if you are careful not to overdo it.

While a pressure washer can be used, the powerful jet of water can damage asphalt shingles. The use of a hydrogen peroxide mixture and a scrub brush is a better option.

If you have a metal, clay or concrete roof, power washing can work well.

With either method, work down the roof to keep from lifting and breaking shingles, Barber said.

There are also several chemicals

BUTTON MOSS COVERS A ROOF. on the market specifically made to kill moss.

Diluted bleach will work as well, though the runoff can damage plants.

Be sure to wear rubber gloves, protective clothing and eye protection when working with chemicals.

“Moss can work its way underneath shingles, so it’s better to hit it off at the first sign and re-treat after a year or so,” Barber said.

To prevent moss from returning,

cut back any tree limbs that overhang the roof, or look into installing strips of copper or zinc along the ridge.

If the moss is so bad that a professional needs to be called in, make sure they are licensed, bonded and insured, Barber said.

Also of note for homeowners, according to Barber, house insurance policies now require the homeowner to ensure there is no moss growing on the roof to continue coverage.

ROOTS from page 7 For potted plants, straighten or remove encircling roots.

Tease or massage the roots apart.

If the root mass is too dense to be teased apart, use a sharp knife and make four to eight shallow vertical slices from the top of the root mass to the bottom.

Remove matted roots at the bottom of the root ball.

Set the plant in the planting hole at the same level that it was in the pot or slightly higher to allow for settling of the soil.

Planting too deeply will smother the roots of most plants.

Care. Although supplemental watering is usually needed in our typical summer climate, it is also important not to drown plants.

Overwatering is often considered the most common cause of early plant death.

For seedlings, water when the soil surface is dry; for established plants, water when the soil is dry 1 to 2 inches below the surface.

When you water, water deeply (wetting the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches); deep watering will encourage roots to grow deep into the soil, making them more drought tolerant.

Fertilize according to directions

Need more help in figuring out what is wrong with your plant?

Call the Master Gardener helpline at 360-417-2514 and leave a message or email a description and photo of the problem to mgplantclinic.clallam@gmail.com.

You also can submit your question and a specimen at the WSU Extension Office at the Clallam County Courthouse in Port Angeles Mondays through Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

ROOTS COMPRISE A LARGE PORTION OF A PLANT’S MASS AND EXTEND A GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE PLANT’S CROWN AS CAN BE SEEN IN THIS FALLEN TREE IN OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK MARY WILSON GREEN and only when needed; excess fertilizer can burn roots.

Avoid disturbing the ground around your plants. Most root systems are relatively superficial and extend a good distance from the plant in all directions.

As such they are extremely susceptible to damage through soil compaction, nearby digging and contact with lawn and construction equipment.

Be careful when working around plants.

Remember, roots can be at the root of garden problems.

For the health of your plants, take steps to protect and keep your plants’ roots healthy and act quickly when symptoms of root problems appear.

supplied the alder Shaker-style cabinets found in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room.

To complement the light quality of the natural stained alder and Montana stone fireplace surround and kitchen backsplash, and to create a soothing continuity throughout the house, Katsikapes selected pale, earthy paint tones.

“I take extra care to bring a sense of airiness to any house set in the woods,” she said.

Stitched leaves grace the custom raw linen fabric she chose for the Roman shades tucked in the dormers of the bedrooms and throughout the home.

This pattern, framing the windows, brings the outdoors indoors twofold.

Overhead, the wood-clad pine ceiling was treated with a clear stain so that it would deepen in color naturally over time.

Light fixtures, wrap-around industrial pipe curtain rods and other hardware in a rubbed bronze finish juxtapose with copper accents that pick up the hand-pounded copper farm sink. Even in the daytime, the interior of the house feels aglow.

All details were considered, with the goal of keeping the farmhouse stylistically youthful and approachable.

In her role as personal shopper and home stylist, Katsikapes chose kitchenware and flatware with a hand-pounded appearance like that of the kitchen sink.

She bought soap for all the showers and the dishwasher. She purchased laundry detergent, made the beds and stocked extra sets of sheets and towels.

The artwork reflected the flora and fauna her clients might encounter on any of the hundreds of hikes available right outside their front door.

The family Katsikapes and Schouten worked with is enamored with their Pacific Northwest Farmhouse, and they are impressed by the ease of the process with which their dream home came into being.

Like all devotees of the North Olympic Peninsula, they are looking forward to the winter months, when they can follow up a day of working or playing outdoors in front of a crackling wood fire, sipping cocoa and UPHOLSTERED WINGBACKS admiring their view.

Decking trends

Popular woods, maintenance & winter preparation

BY BUSTER FERRIS & METRO Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season.

Custom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas.

Decks make for great gathering places when the weather permits. They are where many people spend their free time and eat their meals come spring and summer, when the temperatures climb and the sun sets well into the evening.

POPULAR CHOICES

Edensaw Woods Port Townsend offers several decking options and tips for those seeking a new build or to refresh their current deck.

Three most popular decking woods are tigerwood,

garapa and thermory. Both tigerwood and garapa are exotic hardwoods coming out of South America.

To be environmentally conscious when choosing these types of woods, look for a business that imports Forest Stewardship Council-certified decking, like Edensaw. This means they deal closely with companies that work with the local governments to ensure healthy forest growth and sustainable logging practices.

Thermory decking, which is produced in Eastern Europe, is not FSC certified and is made from American ash grown in America, or Scots pine, which is grown in Europe.

Edensaw Woods has been carrying tigerwood and garapa for the past nine years.

Thermory is a newer product they have carried for the past four years, and they’ve seen the popularity of it increase within the Pacific Northwest over the past two years.

Edensaw forecasts this as the next trend in decking material due to its relative newness to the market.

SUPPORT COMMUNITY SOLAR!

Like tigerwood or garapa, thermory works great with the additions of hot tubs, fire pits or grills.

Garapa and tigerwood are known for their incredible strength and resistance to the harshest of climates. Both are resistant to decay, rot and insects and, when installed properly, have minimal splintering, splitting, warping and cracking.

With proper care these can last two to three times longer than typical American softwood decking.

All three of these products offer distinct color but without annual application of finish, the wood will silver out and oxidize, which can be a very desirable result with no adverse side effects.

Tigerwood takes after its namesake with distinct black striping throughout its vibrant reds, oranges and browns.

Garapa is reminiscent of teak, with soft, honeyed browns and light yellows.

Due to the thermal modification thermory undergoes, it transforms the white ash to a dark brown similar to that of walnut.

OTHER TRENDS

Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside.

Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring.

This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood.

Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal.

Gas-fueled fire elements can expand the functionality of decks beyond the warm seasons, or make enjoying them practical on nights when the temperature plummets.

DECK MAINTENANCE & PREP

A finish is recommended to maintain the color of the decking.

Edensaw recommends this application be done yearly to maintain the warm natural glow and color of the wood.

It is recommended that one follows the instructions on the can because some hardwoods do not absorb as well as others. If applied too thick and not wiped away, there is a chance that it will bubble and allow mold to grow under the finish.

For peak performance of these products, Edensaw recommends that the installer follows the installation manual to a T. If you’re installing a new deck and are looking to maintain the color, apply finish to all four surfaces before installation.

If trying to bring a grayed deck back to life, there are a number of wood brighteners available that will

do just this. This may take two to three applications to achieve the desired result.

For maintaining your deck, there are two schools of thought to combat the green slime/mold that plagues all decks of the Pacific Northwest.

One can either pressure wash the deck every two or three years or, for a kinder, gentler approach, one can scrub it down using a brush and deck cleaner.

Power washing a deck does reveal a minimal amount of grain but nothing to worry about. As far as power-washing tips go, be prepared to get wet, and wear ear plugs.

To prepare your deck for winter, Edensaw Woods founder Jim “Kiwi” Ferris recommends moving inside, closing your doors and waiting for spring.

“The deck will be there once it warms up,” he said.

But for those anxious to button up for winter, here are a few tips to get your deck ready: • Inspect the deck for problems.

• Clear the deck of potted plants.

• Store unnecessary furniture.

These houseplants can help clean the air in your home Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening.

Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress.

Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them inside, as well.

According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.

Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma.

In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health.

But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes.

The following are a handful of plants that can help improve indoor air quality.

Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes.

SPIDER PLANT

Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants.

In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene.

ENGLISH IVY

NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, non-ventilated buildings than others.

One such plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products.

BAMBOO PALM

Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list.

Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene.

DRACAENA

A champ at sapping acetone (the chemical found in nail polish remover) from the air in lab tests, dracaena is a relatively low-maintenance plant.

It requires indirect sunlight, soil that’s rich in organic matter and a thorough watering about once a week.

Plant it in a pot that provides adequate drainage, too.

BOSTON FERN

work because they remove toxins like toluene and xylene from the air.

Lovers of high humidity and consistently moist soil, a sunny spot in a bathroom could be an ideal environment for this leafy option.

Place it in an area with bright, indirect light and away from heating or cooling vents, which can dry out the fronds.

Not only can these plants help with home cleanliness, they can add a fresh, modern look to any living space, especially in family rooms and bathrooms.

Solar power: Facts to know for your home

BY ANDY COCHRANE More people are choosing to outfit their homes with solar each year — an economically sound choice and one supported by state and federal incentives.

On the Olympic Peninsula, we receive approximately 3.5 hours of full sun per day over the course of the year. That’s about 70 percent of the sun resources of southern California; however, unlike southern California, most of our sunshine arrives

between March and September when our electricity needs are low.

The state’s net metering law helps make certain people with solar get the benefit of that summer electricity on their winter bills.

The net metering law originally was passed in 1998 and updated and expanded earlier in 2019. It says all utility companies in Washington are required to allow their customers to install solar photovoltaic (PV) technology.

Net metering enables you to earn credits from your utility company for power you generate with your grid-tied solar PV system. This credit shows up on your monthly utility bill in the summertime. You can then use those credits in the fall and winter as the days get shorter and your energy needs start rising again.

During the winter, when your solar PV array isn’t producing as much power as your home or business requires, the grid provides steady, reliable power.

In this way, we are using the grid as a “virtual battery.” This virtual battery has many advantages

over having a physical chemical battery in your home.

• It is infinitely sized (at least practically infinite relative to the 5-25 kWh residential grid-tied PV system). Our solar electricity will never “fill” the grid.

Unlike an actual off-grid battery bank, which may be at full charge early on a summer morning, it is not giving us anywhere to store our summer day’s energy unless we make certain to use the energy at the same rate at which it is being produced.

• It is 100 percent efficient. Energy stored in the form of a kilowatt hour (kWh) credit on your meter is later used. Because there is no conversion from electrical to chemical energy and back, there is no loss due to inefficiency, which may be as low as 75 percent in some battery systems.

• You already pay a monthly fee on each bill for the use of the grid. The grid construction and maintenance is a socialized cost shared by all utility customers; you will see a monthly service charge on your existing bill, totaling about $350 per year in Clallam PUD territory.

ANDY COCHRANE, LEFT, AND A CLIENT GO OVER THE METERING FOR A SOLAR ARRAY.

ROOF PITCH MATTERS

A south-facing roof is the best orientation for a roof-mounted system and the best roof pitch — a numerical measure in feet of the steepness of a roof — for year-round PV performance is 5/12 to 12/12.

However, if your roof is steeper or shallower, or if you have an eastor west-facing roof, don’t panic. Sunny, south-facing roofs with a roof pitch shallower than 5/12 or steeper than 12/12 are still excellent solar platforms.

The difference in production on a 3/12 roof compared to a 5/12 roof is only about 3.5 percent.

East- or west-facing roofs, if relatively sunny, also serve as excellent solar platforms. A roof can be oriented up to 30 degrees east or west of due south and lose only about 5 percent of the potential solar gain.

If you have an east or west facing sunny roof, the shallower the roof pitch, the better for overall solar gain.

In determining the location and design of a solar array, the goal is to locate the solar array where it will

generate the most power over the course of the year while looking attractive and intentional on a property.

If a roof has too much shade or is otherwise not appropriate for a solar array, a ground-mounted system is often a good solution.

You should review your electric bill to get an idea of how much electricity you are currently consuming over the course of the year.

Your utility bill will express your energy consumption in kWh per day, month or year. You may be surprised to see how much energy you use and how big a solar PV system you would need to satisfy 100 percent of your energy needs; however, the economics of financial incentives allow you to cover your annual electricity costs with a smaller system.

With some planning and care, you can generate all of your own solar energy on your rooftop in a manner that is economical and environmentally sound.

HOME & DESIGN TRENDS | SEPTEMBER 2019 24/7 17 We’re ready to help,

This design trend is coming back (we were surprised, too!)

Design trends come and go, but some have a funny way of resurfacing years after they first became popular.

Homeowners who may have been considering renovating their home to remove a design element they believe to be passé might want to see if that feature has experienced a resurgence in popularity.

In fact, one of the more derided home decor trends of yesteryear has slowly crept back into style, albeit in moderation.

Wood paneling is back and better than ever, advise many design professionals.

It’s the formerly ugly duckling that filled homes starting in the 1950s, creating drab dens and faux-wood family rooms.

Paneling had long been an element of choice because it is relatively easy to install and can camouflage problem walls in a home, like those covered in boisterous wallpaper prints.

Wood paneling reached the peak of its popularity in the 1970s, and since then homeowners have been tearing down these faux offenders for years or masking them in paint to brighten up spaces.

However, the experts at Apartment Therapy report that wood paneling in shades of brown are making a comeback in cozy spots such as dens or studies.

The warm tones of wood paneling elicit a retro vibe.

But unlike their fake predecessors, today’s paneled walls are being outfitted in real wood, making them more eco-friendly and stylish than ever before.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Contractors and homeowners tend to use locally sourced reclaimed wood, which reduces the need to transport wood from afar to complete the projects, thus reducing fuel consumption and air pollution.

Reclaimed timber helps to preserve forests by greatly reducing the need to cut down trees.

WOOD PANELING CAN ADD A RUSTIC FEEL TO A BATHROOM.

Peninsula Daily News / Sequim Gazette

Designers have flocked to reclaimed wood and veneer panelings to incorporate them into design elements.

And while wood paneling used to be hung vertically, designers now experiment with horizontal paneling.

Many people no longer use paneling to cover an entire space. Paneling is used sparingly as an accent wall or another feature for character.

Wood walls can be stained in a rich mahogany to look upscale or be weathered and rustic.

Homeowners ready to re-embrace wood paneling can choose to enhance one wall in a room.

Think about the space above a fireplace or a strip of wall behind a sitting chair and side table.

Paneling also can serve as a headboard
