exterior. It’s bold and can make your home stand out from other homes on the block. Not up for the bold change? To make an impact with a smaller change, add new trim colors.

When updating trim, choose color schemes that match your home’s primary exterior color, or complement it with a fresh twist.

Create points of interest with plants You don’t have to stop enjoying beautiful plants and flowers simply because summer is over. Add pops of color by arranging pots filled with hearty fall flowers like mums, sedum or asters around your front door, or on a porch or deck. Incorporate planters or container gardens of varied sizes, shapes and colors to add visual interest.

Accent with lighting As summer light fades into shorter, darker days, add exterior accent lighting to the front of your home. Illuminate a walking path with ground-insert solar lights. Or consider solar spotlights to bring out landscaping or to shine on your updated front door. Install matching light fixtures outside your front door, garage door or patio door to provide well-lit entrances that are stylish and inviting to neighbors and guests.

oon, all things pumpkin spice will be here, including the home visitors that bring them. In preparation of the door bell ringing, create a little spice of your own with some seasonal curb appeal.

You don’t have to limit yourself to pumpkins and hay bales - below are tips and projects for sprucing up your home’s view from the curb this season.

Front door, first impressions Your front door is one of the first things people notice about your home. Give your door a fresh face with a coat of paint in a bold fall color to draw the eye to this focal point of your home.

Another project is to replace the door entirely. Consider options with decorative glass accents, and stunning sidelights (windows on either side of the door) to add more natural light while maintaining a sense of style and privacy. Plus, as temperatures start to drop, Energy Star -qualified entry doors, like those from Pella, will help maintain your home’s energy efficiency. For entry door inspiration check out Pinterest, your resident showroom or your local home improvement store.

Accessorize with new hardware Replace your front door hardware for a quick, easy facelift. Choose hardware finishes that compliment light fixtures, mailbox and house numbers for a polished, cohesive look. You’ll be delightfully surprised what a difference new hardware can make in creating an updated look to your home.

The holiday entertaining wow factor Everyone wants their home to sparkle when they welcome family and friends during the holidays. Completing a home improvement project during the fall sets up a big reveal when the holidays roll around.

Falling prices Fall is an excellent time to save money by finding great deals on home improvement supplies and service.

Year-end sales begin and discounts can be steep. Retailers like Lumber Liquidators, with their annual Yard Sale in October, often have discounts to clear inventory before the New Year.

Also, contractors are busiest during the warmer months - their business cools as the weather does.

Facing tight timelines and tighter budgets, homeowners often need to prioritize their projects. Installing hardwood floors often provides a high return on investment, both from a quantitative (home value) and qualitative (pride in ownership) standpoint.

No matter what a homeowner chooses to do during the fall home improvement season, it will help reduce cabin fever during the winter months.

he rituals of fall include sending kids back to school, raking leaves and cheering on the hometown football team.

In addition, a new fall tradition has emerged for America’s nearly 74 million homeowners - home improvement.

This fall promises to be particularly popular for home projects. Lower gas prices are boosting people’s discretionary income and Metrostudy’s latest Residential Remodeling Index points to a continued rise in activity.

Like many trends, there isn’t one particular reason fall has emerged as a popular time for home improvement, several factors play a role.

Energy efficiency is top of mind With colder weather on the horizon, homeowners shudder at the thought of higher heating costs. They upgrade windows, layer in more insulation, service or replace old furnaces and, in some cases, do all of the above.

The weather is nice Home improvement projects can be hard and even grueling work, particularly for DIYers. Lower temperatures and humidity create a much more comfortable environment for getting things done (and rhetorically keeping your cool when obstacles

Energy-Efficient Renovation Tips

P

icking paint colors and ogling kitchen remodels on Pinterest can be fun for homeowners looking to renovate. However, today’s homeowners are looking for upgrades that not only look great, but save money.

Energy-efficiency improvements are a smart investment toward curbing energy use, cutting energy bills, and increasing the value of a home.

There are many simple and cost-effective efficiency improvements that homeowners can make. Choosing which to invest in often comes down to economics and how long it will take to recoup costs.

To take the guesswork out of choosing the

most cost-effective upgrades, the Propane Education & Research Council ranked the top 10 energy-efficiency improvements.

Here are some of the projects that will give a homeowner the most bang for their buck.

Sealing windows and doors consistently

for itself within the first year. Additionally, a dual-fuel system, like using a highefficiency air-source heat pump in tandem with a high-efficiency propane furnace, offers big energy and emissions savings – up to as much as three metric tons each year.

Water heating is typically the secondlargest energy user in the house. Upgrading a system, especially switching from an electric model to a propane-fueled condensing tankless system, can save up to 50 percent and significantly reduce CO2. In addition, new U.S. Department of Energy regulations now in effect mean that older water heaters between eight and 12 years of age need to be updated to meet new efficiency standards.

has the best payback for homeowners in all regions of the U.S. Proper air-sealing can reduce air infiltration by 30 percent, and has a payback within one to four years. Sealing leaks can also reduce noise pollution and prevent pollen or dust from entering the home.

Replacing windows and lighting with more energy-efficient options can significantly reduce energy bills and emissions.

Swapping incandescent bulbs with highefficacy fluorescent bulbs can substantially reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions, and the switch could pay for itself in less than a year.

Space heating and cooling accounts for the greatest energy use in the house. In many parts of the country, replacing a furnace or boiler with a high-efficiency model can pay

beautiful lawn can be the foundation to a happy, healthier life and lead to spending more time outdoors.

In fact, 86 percent of Americans consider their lawn important to their home and life.

“A healthy lawn encourages you to live life outside more with your family, friends and neighbors,” said Dr. Kirk Hurto, Chief Science Officer, TruGreen. “There’s no time like late summer and early fall to start preparing your yard for those spring and summertime outdoor gatherings.”

While a recent survey conducted by TruGreen showed that seven out of 10 Americans believe themselves to be knowledgeable about the health of their yard, the lawn care experts

at TruGreen offer these helpful reminders to get your yard ready for fall: Aerating: Aeration involves removal of soil cores to improve water and air movement in compacted soils, and aids in promoting deeper and more root growth and thatch management. Long term, your lawn will respond quicker to fertilizer and water runoff will be reduced when irrigating.

Overseeding: When it comes to increasing lawn thickness and health, overseeding can be essential. It can help discourage future weeds while also aiding recovery from summer heat, disease and insect activity. Seeding during late summer or early fall will give grass the maximum time to develop a deep extensive root system and mature before the onset of

effectively clears away tree leaf debris that otherwise can become matted and damage your lawn over the winter. Lowering the mower height by one or two settings the last couple mowings before winter reduces grass diseases associated with snow. Avoid walking on frost-covered lawns as doing so may cause brown footprints to appear later that can remain visible until spring. Clean and edge landscape beds, leaving no more than 2-3 inches of mulch in the beds.

Pruning: Pruning is an essential maintenance practice for trees and shrubs. Landscapes can quickly become overgrown if not cared for, but yearly pruning will maintain trees and shrubs to an ideal size and shape. Remove dead or damaged branches from trees and shrubs to prevent rot organisms from invading the trunk and stems of plants.

Feeding: Fall feeding gives your landscape the nutrients needed to prepare for a healthy, green spring revival. Hiring a trained specialist with a plan customized to your region will help trees and shrubs thrive. If you fertilize your own lawn, make sure to follow the product directions and sweep all fertilizer that may reach pavement back onto your lawn.

Attic To Living Space?

W

hen homeowners are in need of additional square footage, one of the first places that may come to mind is the attic. Converting an attic into living space is an idea, but it is not always a feasible one. Here are some factors to consider before signing a contract.

Building Codes: What are the building codes in your area? Can you abide by them in your attic conversion without breaking the bank?

Get a list of applicable codes and required inspections for your conversion and make sure you can follow them. The work will be inspected, and if it is not up to code, the entire job could be shut down.

Staircase: Do you have a staircase leading up to your attic? If not, do you have the space to

install one? A straight staircase is the easiest to build, but it will take up a great deal of space.

A spiral staircase will take up less space, but it won’t allow for easy transport of large items like furniture. If you have no space inside for a staircase, you may be able to construct one outside. Check with the zoning laws in your area first. An outside staircase could turn your home into a multiple-family dwelling, which may not be permitted in your area. You will also need another exit like a window. Make sure you have the space to install one if there isn’t one already.

Ceiling: How high is your attic ceiling? Is it high enough to allow enough headroom after the installation of insulation and venting?

Most building codes require at least 7-1/2 feet

enough air to heat and cool the attic space.

You may need to add other systems, such as electrical baseboard heating or a window air conditioner. Depending upon the systems you choose, the contractor may have to install wiring, ductwork, thermostats and whatever else the building codes demand.

Converting an attic can provide you with more living space. It is not always feasible or practical, however. Talk to a few contractors, review your budget and building codes, and consider if the investment would be worthwhile. If you plan to live in your home for a long time and you are really short on space, it might be a good idea. If you’re not, you may want to just rework the living areas you already have. Getting rid of some clutter and shuffling some things around could give you the extra square footage you need.

of headroom. If you don’t have that kind of headroom, do you have the budget to alter the roof framing and expand the ceiling height?

Support: How strong is your attic flooring?

Is it strong enough to withstand an addition, or will it have to be reinforced? You will also need to make sure the rafters can support the weight of drywall, electrical and heating and cooling system components. Keep in mind that adding joists will reduce the headroom available.

Electrical: Do you have electrical in your attic already? If not, can your electrical panel handle a heavier load? Is there room for more breakers? Consult a licensed electrician to know for sure.

Heating & Cooling: How do you plan to heat and cool the new space? Attics tend to be cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and your current forced air blower may not circulate

water needs. Keep these factors in mind and consult the seed packets to plan out where each should be placed. Many apps are available to take the guesswork out of gardening, helping you create a perfectly organized plant or flower bed. Some even offer reminders for watering, fertilizing and more.

Keep water in mind. Make sure your plan includes a close proximity from plant bed to the water supply.

Be smart with soil. Whether it’s a flower or vegetable garden bed or containers, the secret’s in the soil, where roots develop and sustain life. Invest in the proper tools to keep this foundation strong, such as

better drainage when it’s wet, better waterholding capacity when it’s dry, deeper root growth and healthier plants.

Label away. Know exactly where you planted each seed with cute, natural labels.

Simply use a permanent marker to mark each plant name on stones in front of each plant row.

Be a green gardener. Always opt for ecofriendly, pesticide-free products to use in your garden, when possible. Products filled with chemicals can be harmful to animals when carried through the air with wind.

So, dust off that shovel, tighten up the hose and get to growing. Once you have the right plan in mind, you’ll be on your way to achieving the flower or fruit and vegetable garden of your dreams.

Opt for a permanent solution. There’s no doubt that gardens require seasonal upkeep, but you can find some ways to ease the tasks. One such solution is Professional Soil Modifier from Profile Products, which permanently improves the root zone by adding air- and water-holding capacity in all types of soil (unlike peat that needs to be tilled into gardens each year.)

Design Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen

I

t often starts as a blank spot on the patio, usually somewhere just outside the back door. Then come the “things” to fill the spot. There’s so much to consider that it gets difficult to make a decision.

According to a 2014 survey of residential landscape architects by the American Society of Landscape Architects, one of the most popular features to fill that space is the outdoor kitchen.

The first two decisions: “Outdoor kitchens expand a homeowner’s opportunities to gather together with family and friends,” said Maria Stapperfenne, certified kitchen designer, certified bath designer and 2015 president of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. “However, just like indoor

kitchens, outdoor kitchens must be designed thoughtfully.”

Ken Kelly, a certified kitchen designer and principal at Kitchen Designs by Ken Kelly in Williston Park and Sag Habor, N.Y., said the first decision is to pick a location and pay attention to the prevailing winds. “Wind direction and where the kitchen is located could cause smoke to blow into guests or even into the house through an open window,” he said. “Keep the grill downwind of guests.”

Russ Faulk, vice president of design for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, said the second decision has to do with grill placement. “Do you want the cook to face the guests, or look at the scenery?” he asked.

pool is nearby. “Keep the cold zone nearest to the pool,” said Faulk. “It will keep kids who want a cold drink from running past a hot grill.”

A key to proper zoning is counter space.

Grills should have a minimum of 24 inches of uninterrupted space to one side and 12 inches to the other. This gives the cook nearby room to place platters, cooking utensils and more.

If there’s not room for that amount of counter space, “incorporate an open-shelf cabinet below. You get additional ‘counter space’ by being able to put things on shelves,” said Kelly.

An outdoor kitchen is a long-term investment that will enhance a home. With the right planning behind it, homeowners and their guests can enjoy it for many years.

Faulk, who also teaches outdoor kitchen design classes, said it is important to keep the cook in the party. “It makes the outdoor kitchen less of a workplace. When the cook can talk to the guests, the space becomes more social and enjoyable,” he said.

Zoning it out: Maximum enjoyment also comes when everything else is in its proper place, or zone. There are four zones in an outdoor kitchen – wet, cold, hot and dry. Faulk said getting these in the right combination makes prepping food, cooking and cleaning much easier.

“Keep the cold zone next to the wet zone.

This makes it easier to move things from the cold zone refrigerator to the wet zone sink to wash them off and get them ready for the grill in the hot zone,” he added.

Zones are especially important when a

Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency With These Smart Winterizing Tips

C

ooler temperatures and shorter days can only mean one thing - winter is on its way. January and February are typically considered the coldest months in the Northwest, Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States. It can be tough for homeowners to stay cozy inside without running up monthly heating costs.

Building professionals say fall is the ideal time to consider winterizing your home for a more energy efficient and comfortable winter.

Look for simple, affordable fixes.

There are some simple, inexpensive measures that homeowners can do to ensure their homes remain energy efficient, warm and comfortable. For less than $100, weather-stripping for windows, a door sweep strip and some caulking can help fill any air leaks to limit energy loss. Replacing the furnace’s air filter every three months can also help create a more comfortable environment since a clogged filter can reduce the unit’s overall efficiency and lifespan.

Set the temperature.

Investing in a programmable thermostat allows homeowners to monitor the indoor temperature of their home remotely via a smart phone or online. Keeping the temperature low when no one is home and programming the thermostat to increase the temperature when everyone arrives home, annual heating costs can be reduced anywhere between 5-15 percent, according to the U.S Department of Energy. The same principle can be applied during summer months to help save on cooling costs.

Prevent ice damming.

If ice damming on the roof is an annual problem, consider taking measures to completely stop dams from forming. Major damage can result from ice damming, so

it’s never too early to start thinking about a long-term solution. Ice damming occurs when warm, indoor air escaping through the roof melts snow on the shingles. The water then refreezes as it runs off the

As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature year round while helping to control monthly heating and cooling expenses. Thanks to spray foam insulation’s air-sealing qualities, homeowners can reduce the size of their heating and cooling equipment since less effort is required to heat or cool the home.

While air leakage can play a role in higher-than-average heating and cooling bills, a well-insulated home and economical winterizing can help you get through the cold winter months.

roof, creating a barrier of ice at the edge.

Shovelling snow or chipping ice away can threaten life, limb and roof, so it’s best to consider more permanent solutions.

Keep warm air inside.

While weather-stripping and caulking can help address air leakage, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Home Energy Saver website says that proper air sealing insulation and attic venting are the best methods to stop ice damming from occurring. Spray foam insulation is a modern solution that both insulates and seals to help stop ice damming.

Installed by licensed professionals, spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, works well in all climates and fills in gaps and cracks to help stop air

or homeowners who enjoy spending time outside, the doorway is an important architectural element that blends style and function to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.

Many factors influence which type of door makes the most sense for your home.

Available wall space and layout of the space inside and out dictate whether a single or double door fits best. Considerations such as lighting and privacy influence details such as the number of window panes for your home, while personal style and décor preferences help identify the choice between sliding and French style doors.

Beyond the main door structure, many homeowners are exploring new options

when it comes to complementary screen doors that make the most of indoor-outdoor spaces and create optimal air flow. Traditional options like swinging or sliding screens are being replaced by a new popular alternative: retractable screen doors.

A flexible alternative: As their name suggests, retractable screen doors roll back into their housing when not in use – much like a window shade turned on its side.

“A retractable screen door is the perfect solution for allowing fresh air into the home,” says Randy Brown, retail channel marketing manager, ODL, Inc., a leading manufacturer of retractable screen doors. “It keeps bugs out when the screen is in use, and when the screen isn’t needed, it retracts into the frame housing

Installing a retractable screen door is surprisingly simple, especially if you choose a product designed with the DIY homeowner in mind. For most standard-size doors, no metal cutting is required, and only a power driver tool is needed to install it in about 30 minutes.

A practical alternative to traditional screen doors, retractable screen doors also allow homeowners to avoid the banging, slamming and in-the-way hassles associated with a traditional hinged screen door. For homeowners who like to entertain, leaving the screen retracted allows the party to spill naturally onto a festive deck or patio.

Easy installation: When shopping for a retractable screen door, look for models that offer outer face-mount installation on brick mold. This allows you to enjoy a full opening for fresh air circulation as well as an unobstructed view to the outdoors. Without intrusive housing or tracks associated with injamb retractable screen doors, these models provide the added benefit of a full pass-

A pressure washer makes quick work of outside cleaning. Water is directed through a high-pressure nozzle to sweep away all of the mold, mildew, dirt, oil and grime from siding, brick, stucco, decking and more. A pressure washer is not a hose. It is a tool, and it must be used properly to

prevent damage and obtain a thorough clean.

You can purchase a pressure washer or rent one for the day. Many brands are available. If you are buying a pressure washer, make sure you do your homework.

Read up on the various brands available and choose the one that is right for you.

Generally, the more powerful the washer, the more it will cost but the heavier jobs it will be able to tackle. Choose a model that will serve your long-term needs and your budget.

Once you get the pressure washer home, make sure you know how to use it. Read the owner’s manual and know what

also take time out to prep the site. Close all windows and doors. Remove all obstacles.

Cover all plants. Then get ready to clean the surface from top to bottom, washing the dirt down. This will save valuable time and energy.

Pressure washing is not hard, and doing it routinely could save you money and time later. If left long enough, gunk and grime can take a real toll on a home and cause rotting and other structural issues. It can also take a toll on your health. Don’t leave it to Mother Nature to care for the exterior of your home. A good hard rain won’t do as good of a cleaning as a pressure washer will. Borrow one, rent one or buy one and take the time to make the surfaces on and around your home shine.

pressure to use for the job. The cleaning of brick, stucco and wood siding usually requires a lighter touch, about 1,500 pounds per square inch. The cleaning of concrete may take more.

Most exterior surfaces can be pressure washed, from decks and patios to driveways and sidewalks to brick, stucco and siding. The key is to adjust the pressure for each surface and attack the gunk from top to bottom, standing at least three feet away. This will prevent damage from intense pressure. If you have heavily soiled areas, you may want to look into using some type of cleaner and a scrub brush.

5 Tips for Tackling a Home Improvement Project

1 Discover the comfort of a menDota fire.

• Mendota fireplaces are custom-built in limited numbers by Johnson Gas - a company with over 1000 years experience in gas technology • Mendota luxury fireplaces won “Best of Show” at the National Hearth Products Expo • Mendota fireplaces are built for the thoughtful owner who is interested in quality, craftsmanship and performance...

Go first class - Go Mendota.

. Timing is everything. Prioritize projects by needs, not wants.

Blakeney advises making sure important projects like functioning air-conditioning are set before tackling less crucial ones like popcorn ceilings.

Create a list of all of the things on your wish list. Then start with the most timely matters and work your way down the list.

Be realistic with your goals and always factor in 20 percent more money and time than you think the project will take.

This way you leave some leeway for any unexpected issues that may arise.

2. DIY or hire an expert? Some projects are simple enough to DIY, like swapping out the greenery in the yard. But other projects, like installing solar panels or getting a new water heater, may be outside your wheelhouse and better handled by experts. Honestly assess your own level of expertise, permit requirements and local regulations, your budget, your timeline and ultimate goals before deciding whether to DIY or hire an expert. Whether you need a personal organizer or a painter, a foundation specialist or a handyman, if you decide an expert is the way to go, ask

4. Get savvy. One of the best ways to save time and money is to find things second hand. Thrift shops, salvage shops and flea markets are great places to find furniture, appliances and hardware on the cheap.

Or, repurpose items you already own by moving them to a different room or by painting them different colors. Explore all of your options and resources before going out and spending that hard-earned cash.

5. Just get started. It’s OK to start small.

Swap out the old hardware on your kitchen cabinets or fix the broken brick on your patio. Just start somewhere and build your way up to the larger stuff. If you’re feeling paralyzed, try setting and accomplishing one small home-improvement goal every week.

with the proper attachments, while atop a comfortable seat.

Mulching made easy If raking and bagging leaves puts too much strain on your back, mulching with your mower is an ideal alternative. Models such as the John Deere Z235 EZtrak zeroturn radius mower allow you to easily switch from side discharge or bagging to mulching mode with a mulching kit attachment. Be sure to mulch leaves only when they are dry, as mulching wet or damp leaves can cause build up or clumping under the deck. Grass needs sunlight in the fall to help store food for winter, so don’t let leaves build up on the grass. With regular upkeep, a thin layer of mulched leaves adds nutrients to the soil,

reducing the need for fertilizer.

Say goodbye to snow Many riding mowers offer attachments that easily transition to year-round workhorses. John Deere’s X500 Select Series mowers are compatible with a front blade attachment to push snow out of the way, or a snow blower that is more powerful than the standard single-stage walk-behind throwers.

Hire out the work As temperatures begin to drop, it’s the perfect time to research the cost of hiring someone to rake or shovel. There are many options for lawn care services, many of which carry their services into winter for snow removal. Be aware that you may pay a premium for an initial

visit to get things in order, and rates are generally lower when you commit to an ongoing maintenance plan. Also, kids – whether yours or a neighbors – are usually eager to earn some extra pocket cash, so put that youthful energy to work.

Put some power to it There is no gold medal for completing all your yard work by hand, especially if doing so results in days of pain. There are an array of leaf and snow blowers available to give you a hand with the chores. With electric and gas models, and a wide range of power to handle jobs big and small, you can save your energy for another item on your to-do list.

6 Curb Appeal Boosters That Increase Your Home’s Resale Value

W

hether you just bought a new home or have lived in yours for years, home improvement seems to come with the territory. It’s understandable - you want your home to feel like it’s your home, which means matching your tastes. That said, it literally pays to think about how much resale value any improvement

is likely to bring. After all, it’s your biggest investment.

With return on investment in mind, here are six top exterior improvements that not only pay you back, they’ll also pay dividends every time you (and the neighbors) gaze at your gorgeous home.

1. Upgrade landscaping - What’s one of the fastest (and most affordable)

things home makeover shows do to spruce up a house? Put in new plants and lay down fresh mulch. Just a few new flowering plants and shrubs make any home looked cared for. And that layer of mulch gives a fresh look that welcomes any buyer at your doorstep.

2. Install outdoor lighting - More than just a welcome safety feature, exterior lighting gives your home a warm, inviting glow. Landscape lighting highlights architectural details, spotlights your beautiful new plants (see tip No.1) and helps wouldbe buyers envision relaxing evenings

outdoors. The best part? It need not be expensive. You can hire a professional to do a simple landscape light plan.

Or go the solar garden light route with a quick trip to your local home improvement store and do it in an

Plastic composite decks use 15 times more energy than wood decks - and 87 percent of that energy comes from carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

4. Replace siding - Not only does siding protect your home, it’s one of the top features that contribute to curb appeal. If your siding is damaged, old and worn, replacing it can add significant value. And if you go with natural siding materials like pine, cedar or redwood, which are today’s trends, you add a boost to your home’s

3. Add a deck - For outdoor improvements with great ROI, it’s hard to beat a wood deck. Not only does wood typically cost less than other materials, it gives a higher return when you sell your home. A wood deck that costs around $10,000 to build gives you back more than 80 percent of that investment when you sell your home, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report.

That’s a higher ROI than you’d get with a composite deck, by the way.
