Only The Best Of Home Improvement Ideas
Is there an aspect of your house that you're not happy with? Do your bathrooms look dull and dated?
Does your kitchen lack style? If so, it may be time to take on a home improvement project. In this
article, you'll get some great suggestions on what you should do when improving your home.
Cutting boards are an important asset to your kitchen. A great way to prolong the life of your wooden
cutting board is by heating mineral oil in a bowl of hot water and then rubbing it on the scuffed spots
with a soft cloth. This should help repair your cutting board for quite a few more uses.
If you are looking to add some value to your home, you can create a new looking kitchen by
resurfacing your cabinets. By simply sanding down the old cabinets in your home and staining them
with a fresh new finish, you can increase the value of your home fairly dramatically.
Roofing
One type of roof vent you can use with metal roofing would be one made of ABS plastic. They
normally come in the same color of the metal you will be using. They are easy to install with metal
screws and stand up well when you are considering the elements.
You can install your metal roofing right over top of old asphalt tiles. This will save you time and money
because you will not have costs involved in the removal. But if there are more than two layers they
will have to be removed first.
Replacing a roof can be one of a homeowner's biggest expenses. Get estimates from at least three
roofing companies and be sure to check their references. There are many options for new roofing
material, including lightweight tile and metal roofs, in addition to the more traditional wood shake and
composite shingles. A good roofing contractor will help you decide.
Gutters
Make sure to clear your gutters from leaves and debris in the fall. The combination of being clogged
with leaves and freezing water can cause damage to your home and actually cause basement
leaking. Since it is not something you see everyday as a reminder, make a note on your "to do" list as
soon as leaves start to fall.
If you notice icicles or an ice jam in your rain gutters over the winter, you have a real problem on your
hands. If the snow on your roof melts and builds up in frozen rain gutters, it can back up under your
shingles and damage your roof. Call someone in to check both the rain gutters and the roof come
spring.

Chimneys
Things like gutters and chimneys are forgotten about when most people are making home
improvements. It is important that these areas of your home are maintained so they function properly.
If you do not clean it regularly, your chimney might catch fire; your downspouts and gutters may clog
and lead to some water damage if you don't pay attention.
