1/15/20 5:45 PM

Ring in the New Year With New Flooring One of your home’s most noticeable design elements is actually right under your feet. Whether you realize or not, your choice for flooring has a critical impact on the entire look and feel of every room in the house. And with the new year on the way, it’s time for you to look at your flooring and see if a new style would be right for you.

Unlike a lot of other home projects, you can put in new flooring during the colder months. Refresh your floor style with some of these ideas: Go with a lighter hardwood. Wood floors will never go out of style, but lighter-toned hardwoods with smooth, matte finishes are becoming more popular. 4-5-inch widths are also popular.

Choose a natural finish. Natural finishes for wood floors are also rising in popularity over stained wood floors. To achieve the natural look, the wood is oxidized with minerals that react with tannins in the wood to create color.

Gray is here to stay. Gray is a popular color in home décor, and gray wood flooring is no exception. Shades of gray run the gamut, from light gray, to driftwood to darker rustic hues. Gray wood floors look great in a kitchen, especially when paired with white cabinetry.

Blend with dark carpeting. Dark colors are popular in carpeting – colors such as black, charcoal, or jewel tones like ruby red or emerald green. These rich colors play well with warm woods when used for stair runners or area rugs in bedrooms and living spaces. Opt for low-profile, patterned carpets over thicker, shag varieties.

So, while you’re spending time indoors this winter, focus on the flooring and play with some of these style ideas in your head. Consider refreshing your flooring in the new year to give your home a style boost and contact your home contractor or local flooring company for samples and more great ideas.

PUBLISHER’S PICK

Hardwood in bathrooms. Many homeowners are also opting for hardwood floors in bathrooms, especially a distressed or antique look that adds a unique warmth. If opting for hardwood in the bathroom, it’s a good idea to finish floor areas where puddles may form – such as outside of the shower or tub – with tile.

A buyer needs their own representation when buying new construction because the model home agent represents the seller, (builder). A buyers agent who has experience with new construction & is knowledgeable about the local real estate market is imperative to make sure you get the best deal on a new build. There are opportunities to get closing costs upgrades discounted or included.

360-513-5933

When purchasing a new construction home it is wise to have your Realtor to represent you on getting your best price, added amenities such as appliances, and most of all, for your inspection , as new construction generally has repairs and some major that were overlooked by the subcontractors. These are generally issues you wouldn't see yourself until it is a serious problem.

You should always have independent representation. You need someone who will keep the builder accountable during the process. It is always best to have an agent who is familiar with new construction due to the possibility of getting additional upgrades or some of your closing costs covered that you otherwise wouldn’t get if you don’t have representation. Call me today if you are interested in buying new construction.

TIPS FOR ASSESSING YOUR HOME & PROPERTY AFTER WINTER Now that winter is over and spring is on the way, it is the perfect time to assess your property to see the toll of damaging winter weather. So, take this time to inspect your home, starting with the following areas:

THE ROOF. A buildup of snow and ice on the roof during the winter, can lead to water leaks, which in tum can lead to a buildup of mold or mildew inside the home. High winds can also tear off roof shingles, allowing even more moisture to seep in. If left untreated, a leak in the roof can deteriorate the wood beams, potentially causing structural damage.

Check out the walls and ceiling below your roof. Peeling wall paint and damaged ceilings are often signs of a leak. A professional home repair expert can assess the problem and help determine a solution.

SIDING. The siding is the first line of defense against any storm.

Strong winds and hail can lead to peeling paint on wood siding, or even strip away its lamination - opening it up to moisture, and eventually, rot. Vinyl siding is more resistant to harsh weather than wood siding, and it is often less expensive to repair.

GUTTERS. Heavy ice or snow buildup can pull gutters away from the roofline, causing damage to your home. Leaves, twigs and other debris can make matters worse, so it’s helpful to clear your gutters before any major storms. You can consider gutter screens as an easy-to-install option that will help prevent pileups in your gutters.

WINDOWS. Snow, ice and cold temperatures can cause metal or wooden window frames to warp. Harsh winter conditions can even cause the glass itself to crack. An air leak or crack in the window will let cold air seep into the home, jacking up your heating bill in the process. Speak to a trained window professional or installer – they can help you decide what type of window works best in your climate and will install them according to manufacturer’s instructions.

FOUNDATION. A small problem in your home’s foundation can lead to major expenses after a storm takes its toll. Cracks in the foundation provide a space for water or melting snow to collect. In the winter, this water can freeze and expand, leading to larger cracks. Now is a great time to check for hairline cracks in your home’s foundation. They may just require a quick sealing fix, before they turn into larger, more expensive cracks.

Start with these main problem areas and contact a professional if any repairs are necessary. It could also be beneficial to hire a home inspector to give your property a close, post-winter lookover. By assessing your home now, it will be ready to enjoy at its fullest all spring and summer long.

WHAT SHOULD YOU BE INCLUDING IN YOUR LISTING PRICE? So, you’ve decided to list your home on the market. You’ve probably enlisted the help of realtor, or at least researched what other comparable homes in your area are going for. You probably have a good idea of what your home is worth, but are you considering all the factors to include in your listing? Consider the following items, and make sure you’re accounting for them in your listing price.

Window Treatments

Furniture

When you move into your new dwelling, you’re not going to be taking your window treatments with you. But while you’re in your current home, it’s worth setting aside a few hundred dollars to replace the blinds, shutters and curtains. For a truly modern, convenient touch, install motorized shades that can be opened and closed with the touch of a button.

When you’re selling your home, you can include these updated window treatments, and their installation, in your price.

Some buyers are looking for a truly turnkey home that’s completely furnished, especially in fast-moving cities like LA or New York. The furniture they see staged at your open house will help them achieve that, and they’ll likely be willing to pay extra for it. By selling your furniture and decor with your house, you may be able to increase the price of your listing.

Light Fixtures Light fixtures are usually customized for a space, so it’s better to leave them in your house. To sell them with your home, go with modern fixtures that keep the space well lit.

Avoid harsh fluorescent lights and choose LED bulbs instead, which can make a room look brighter while saving energy.

Playsets Many potential buyers have kids or plan on having kids, especially if they’re first-time homebuyers. Even if your own kids have outgrown swing sets and play areas, consider keeping them in the yard. They have the potential to increase the price of your home.

Appliances Appliances can be tough to move, especially if they’re built into your kitchen or laundry room. Instead of planning to take them with you, include them in the price of your home.

A word of caution: ensure the appliances match, are (relatively) new, are cleaned and look immaculate.

If you’re in a pricey neighborhood, buyers want move-in ready homes stocked with higher-end appliances. Spring for expensive brands, and you may be able to get more money for your home when you sell.

By taking these items into consideration during your listing process, you might be able to demand more for your home than you previously thought.

CREATE A DOG FRIENDLY YARD LAWN AND PET HAPPY Any dog owner has likely seen parts of their new garden dug up by their four-legged family member, or their freshly laid sod become Spot’s outdoor toilet. Reach out to your landscaping professional to get some tips on creating a yard you and your dog will enjoy, but here are some tips to get started.

CONSIDER YOUR DOG’S NEEDS Each dog – senior, puppy, small, big, active breed or not-so-much – has different needs. Is your dog a water hound? Maybe you should include a splash pool or water fountain. Got a digger? Get a sand pit that will keep your dog entertained, the mess contained and the garden protected.

Does your dog love to run the perimeter of your yard? Design your yard with his path in mind. Does she have dog friends next door? Maybe an eye-level hole in the fence would keep her from barking. Jot down everything your dog needs from your family yard, then help your landscaper map everything out accordingly.

KEEP YOUR PET SAFE AND SOUND One of the most important pet features in your family yard is a secure fence – whether it’s made of wood, metal, vinyl or concrete.

Inspect and fix your fence – or install one – so you can rest easy knowing your dog is safely within the boundary of your yard.

CONSIDER TURFGRASS Turfgrass is safe – unlike concrete, asphalt or hard ground – and offers your pet a soft, cool spot to lie down, even during the hottest conditions. It also creates a comfortable backyard playground and provides a place to take care of business – just be sure to clean up regularly! There are many types of turfgrass that can handle “ruff-housing” from dogs and kids alike. Check your climate zone to make sure you’re selecting an appropriate grass species for where you live. (Another bonus benefit is grass is very good at capturing and filtering rainwater.)

SELECT THE RIGHT PLANTS You’ll want to have a balance of grass, flower plants, trees and shrubs in your family yard.

Keeping your climate zone in mind, select appropriate landscaping for the areas you’ve identified in your yard. Around walking paths, for instance, you’ll want to include sturdy, yet soft foliage that can stand up to puppy and people traffic without scratching. Use elevated boxes and patio planters for more delicate flowering plants.

There are some plants and shrubs that are poisonous to dogs. Dogs don’t naturally avoid toxic plants, and many will eat plants that are not safe for consumption. You’ll want to avoid these in your outdoor living room entirely.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has a list of toxic plants that you should refer to when shopping for your family yard. Your landscaper will also help you choose the plants and grass that is best for you and your pup.

the

POSSIBILITIES with a

NEW DOOR Looking for a new, and relatively easy way to spruce up your home and add curb appeal?

Consider updating your doors inside and out. Upgrade from that tired old entryway while adding energy efficiency and value to your home.

The front door is the first thing people will see when they arrive and the last thing they’ll see before they leave. And anyone driving past your home will see your front door as well.

So, you want something that looks elegant and stands out. The main consideration is the material – wood, steel or fiberglass.

Wood doors give your home a traditional, warm and elegant look that is sure to improve your home’s curb appeal. Being a heavy material, wood doors are sturdy and secure. However, they are expensive to purchase and maintain. You’ll have to stain them regularly and will have to take steps against warping and rotting of the wood.

Steel doors are your “strongest” option. Nothing is more secure or durable. They are difficult to dent or bend, and virtually impossible to kick in. They also offer the best resistance to fire, warping and cracking. They can also be filled with insulation, Improving energy efficiency in the home.

Fiberglass doors provide features of both wood and steel. They are available in wood grain patterns, providing the elegance of a wood door without breaking the bank. Fiberglass is also very easy to maintain. They are also energy efficient.

And while those are great options for your front door, if you are considering an upgrade on the inside of your home, consider: Bifold Doors. A folding door that has several sections that fold in pairs. Bifolds are most commonly used in closets but may also be used between rooms.

Swinging Doors. This is a hinged door that swings into or out of a room and is the most standard interior door application. They are perfect to separate a kitchen and dining room – allowing ease of access while keeping the two rooms apart.

Bypass Doors. A bypass door consists of two or more sections that can slide in either direction along one axis on parallel overhead tracks so that they slide past each other. They are often used as closet doors to access one side of the closet at a time.

Barn Door. A trendy interior door option that uses externally mounted hardware to allow the door to slide over an opening without taking the space needed for a swinging door. Use between rooms or leading out to a patio or deck.

If you’re ready to replace your doors, contact the pros for installation help. It’s not as easy as popping one off and adding one on – you’ll appreciate the experience and expertise of a professional. But with these suggestions, you’ll be on the right track of finding the perfect doors for your home.
