Ultimate Roof: 7 Key Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance

It’s important to keep your roof well maintained. Keep reading for ultimate roof: 7 key benefits of regular roof maintenance.

Why’s your roof free?

Because it’s on the house!

Sadly, replacing a roof is anything but free. Americans spend more on roofing renovations than any other home project. In 2017, roof care cost homeowners $25 billion.

To make matters worse, once you’re roof’s compromised, your entire house is in danger. Leaks, water damage, and mold, often result from faulty shingles or rotting roof flashings. If you want to protect your home and your bank account, you have to know how to stop roofing problems, before they begin.

Read on to learn how to have the ultimate roof.

via Jack Gardner Photography

1. Ultimate Roof Maintenance Plan

To have the ultimate roof, you have to do a bit of housekeeping first. Whether you’re working with winter roof maintenance or summer care, you’ll want to start by tackling any debris. Go ahead and thoroughly clean your roof and clear any debris away from the roof-related systems.

You don’t just want to pay attention to the shingles, but instead, pay attention to every key component of the roof. Here are a few parts of the roof that you’ll want to keep a close eye on

  • Downspouts
  • Installations
  • Skylights
  • Solar panels

As you get ready to start cleaning up your roof, start with getting any clutter. Begin picking up any of the leaves that may be on the roof, including branches.

Regularly cleaning your roof of debris should become a normal part of your roof maintenance. If you noticed that you frequently have a lot of debris on your roof, it’s probably because you need to clear away some of the vegetation.

via Jack Gardner Photography

2. Clear Away Excess Vegetation

Clear up any overhanging trees limbs that are giving you a surplus of leaves. If you notice a tree has a dead branch is just waiting to fall, get rid of that too. If it’s a hard-to-reach area or you don’t feel safe clearing the vegetation away yourself, go ahead and hire a professional contractor to do it for you.

3. Gutter Maintenance

Next, you’re ready to get down and dirty with the gutters. Get a trowel and dig out any leaves or other plant material that may be forming in the gutters. When your gutters are completely clean water can flow through them freely.

via Millhaven Homes

4. Inspect Downspouts

You want to make sure that rainwater can go through the downspouts to drain. If the water is being interrupted, it’s probably because there’s some plant material that you still need to clean out of the gutters.

Next time it rains, check to see if the downspouts are functioning properly. Is the rainwater going away from the home?

If you notice any drips that are happening right after a rainstorm, it could be a problem with your downspouts. Leaks and drips are often the results of rainwater collecting on the roof.

5. Monitor Moss

A lot of homeowners don’t think that moss is a bad thing. The earthy natural look of moss can almost make your house have a magical appeal. However, moss can be incredibly damaging to your roof.

If you let the moss grow wild, it can damage almost any kind of roof material. Asphalt, concrete, and wood roofs are all at risk of the damage moss can cause.

Why Is Moss Bad for Roofs?

via Millhaven Homes

Over the years the moss will begin to work its way through the cracks of the shingles. With enough time the moss will lift the shingles up and out of position.

Once the shingles are out of place, rainwater can get inside your ceiling. Another disadvantage of moss it’s a waxy plant that holds a lot of water.

Think of it, wet soggy moss sitting on your roof for months. Leaks, and rotten material, are sure to follow if you have a messy mossy roof.

So what do you do to get rid of the Moss? You have to scrub it away! You can also hire a professional to scrub the moss off for you.

We find that zinc sulfate granules are a great way to combat and prevent moss. Sprinkle the granules evenly onto your roof every few months.

6. Regular Roof Inspections

So far, we’ve told you how to clean up your roof, and monitor the downspouts. Next, once your roof is clean, you’ll watch it do a thorough inspection.

The goal of your roof inspection to identify any problems or issues now, before they become a big deal. We suggest getting a professional to perform your roof inspection.

The professional roof inspector will become familiar with your roof and will know what to expect. This makes it easier for the roofer to notice if something looks different and needs repairs.

It’s a good idea to have roof inspections every year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Make sure that during the roof inspection the roofer also checks your ventilation system.

Your intake and your exhaust are both parts of your ventilation. If you have an attic that’s experiencing condensation, you may need a ventilation cleaning.

7. Getting Roof Repairs

If any issues arise during your roof inspection, you’ll want to handle them right away. Tiny roof problems left unattended can grow into major nightmares.

Here are some of the repairs you may need:

  • Repair loose shingle
  • Repair cracked shingle
  • Replace missing shingle
  • Replace valley flashing

Your house uses something called valley flashing to protect it from water. Any corrosion, or cracks, could cause water damage and your ceiling. If your valley flashing material is losing its integrity, don’t wait to replace it.

In addition to your valley flashing your house also has other types of flashing to keep water out. For example, if you have a chimney or a roof vent, it’ll have a flashing to prevent water damage.

Keep a Roof Over Your Head

Keeping the ultimate roof over your head is all about routine maintenance. When you stay up to date with cleaning and maintaining your roof, your house, and bank account, will thank you.

Instead of dealing with leaks and water damage, you’ll be saving money by stopping problems before they begin. For more homeowner tips and tricks, check out our other articles. Thanks to Double D Builders for contributing.

How to Pick the Right Interior Door Styles for Your Home

Looking to spruce up your home with new interior door styles? This guide covers everything you’ll need to know to pick the best door styles for your home.

You’ve renovated everything. The whole house.

You’ve painted every room and surface fresh, meticulously selected and placed beautiful decor elements and furniture throughout, and revitalized each space so that the entire house is perfect.

Almost.

You went to all that trouble and you still have the shabby old doors that came with the place when you first bought it. Oh well—getting doors to match all the work you’ve already done should be easy, right?

It can be.

You don’t want the time and money spent renovating your house to be in vain, and we don’t either. Below are the ins and outs of selecting the best interior door styles for your space. You’ll go from scowling every time you look at your doors to loving the way they complement the rest of your home perfectly.

Types of Doors by Material

Tobiason & Rook Construction; Ricco Style

A big part of choosing the right door will depend on what you want to do with it. And a big part of what your door can do will hinge on what material it’s made of.

Wood, composites (like MDF), glass, metal, fiberglass—it can be tough to decide what will work best for you. All of them can be used for the entrances to your home, but what about inside? That’s where you’ll want to be a little pickier.

Metal and fiberglass, generally, are out. You don’t need the insulating qualities they boast inside the house. All-glass doors (think sliding doors) often lead out to a patio, not from room to room. That leaves wood and composite doors in your house.

Something to keep in mind is what you want to do with them. If you’re painting, then either of these materials will work. If you think you’d ever like to have the beauty of natural wood colored with a rich, classic stained look, you’d better stick with wood.

Even though MDF is wood, you can’t stain it. It’s paint all the way with that stuff.

I know It’s tough to know what you’ll want to change in your house 10 years down the road, but most solid wood doors tend to last, never go out of style, and can be changed any way you please as far as coatings go.

Paint or stain, solid wood doors let you keep your options open, which just might be worth the higher price to you. Oak or walnut, pine or birch, no matter your space, you’re going to be able to find a wood door that complements it. 

If you know you’ll never pine for (terrible, I know) the luxurious look of natural wood grain enhanced by a stain, an MDF door will be cheaper and will hold up over the years if you don’t mistreat it. 

Types of Interior Door Styles by Design

Tobiason & Rook Construction; Ricco Style

When it comes to the design of a door, there is plenty to choose from as well.

The door you picture in your head when someone says the word ‘door’ is probably one of the paneled door types. There are far too many subsets of this type of door to realistically list here, but there is a general rule you can follow. With a few exceptions, with door paneling designs, fewer panels will create a more minimalist, modern effect, and more panels tend to create a classic, traditional look. 

You might also opt for a door with some glass in it. These will often be exterior doors leading to the front porch or the back patio. That doesn’t need to be the case, though.

Whether you’re looking at French doors, Colonial doors, or any other type that prominently features glass panels inside them, these don’t have to be confined to your entryway.

I’ll say it again. You can—and people do—put these types of doors in other spaces in their homes. It’s all about showcasing your space and using areas with lots of light or unique features around these doors.

It’s your house and you can do what you want with it. If you want to put French or glazed doors leading to your dining room or interior garden spot, do it!—It will look great. 

Of course, you can go with the opposite of ornate glass or elegant door paneling designs.

Flush doors are flat with no elaboration. They’re versatile and will fit in anywhere. And one thing you might consider with this style of door is you can even wallpaper it. 

You won’t want to wallpaper your French doors—that’s for sure.

via Alice Lane

Door Types by How They Work

Aside from your run-of-the-mill hinged doors, there are a few interesting options for interior door styles available to you. If you have a unique space, don’t be afraid to think outside the box a bit.

Dutch doors split in two (you’ve seen them countless times on TV). That way you can open the top half while the bottom stays safely closed. Not only that, but they’ll offer a classic, countryside appeal to your space. 

Again, if you’re going for a country aesthetic, barn doors recently becoming fashionable is great for you.

This isn’t a door you’ve just ripped off a rickety old building meant for sheltering animals. It’s a popular, stylish addition to a room that slides against the wall along a rail—and looks good doing it. Great for a rustic cottage motif.

Similar to the way barn doors work, Pocket doors are ideal if you want to maximize space in a room. These also don’t swing on hinges, instead retreating into a gap in the wall by sliding on a rail.

Not as rough-looking as Barn doors, Pocket style doors are an elegant solution to space issues with a classic look to them.

Finally, if you’ve got a unique space that demands unique types of doorways, look no further than the Pivot door. It does exactly what it says—pivots.

Spinning on a central rod, this door will wow guests and lend your space a modern appeal.

Open the Right Doors

While there’s a lot more to doors than you might have originally thought, hopefully, you now have an idea of what’s out there waiting for you.

You’ve got a start, but what’s next?

6 Simple And Easy Ways To Make your Beautiful home safe for kids


Babies, toddlers, and growing kids can be inquisitive as they love exploring. They are not scared of any unknown territory; in fact, they enjoy being in a situation that looks dangerous to everyone else. Nooks and corners, plugs and sockets, appliances and furniture, and electric wires and cords are their favorite toys. While it is fun to see the kids explore their home ground, keeping them away from hazards such as harmful chemicals and loose electric cables is imperative.

Mismanaged cords and cables could lead to falls and accidents for everyone; however, disorderly and disorganized wires around kids could lead to grave accidents. Entanglement and strangulation could be a life-threatening consequence of loose cables around kids. So, parents of small children must organize the wires around the house effectively.

Here are six simple ways to keep your kids safe from getting caught into wires are getting hurt:

1. Get the power strip out of their site:

An exposed power strip could be a common scene around electronics such as TV, music system among other gadget loaded corners of your home. Children are so often attracted to these jungles of wires. An easy solution could be to affix the power strip into the wall at a level, out of reach from the kids. This could get all those wires out of sight and will keep the kids safe from accidents.

2. Avoid falls near the carpets:

Many wires in the house go under the carpet and could be a potential reason for accidents with kids. As kids are mostly sitting and crawling near the floor, the wires going under the carpets might catch their attention and lead to setbacks. A comprehensive resolution could be investing in carpet cable covers. Companies like Trip Safe Australia make excellent quality carpet cable covers that are easy to use and offer superb wire concealing system without spoiling the carpet.

3. Floor cable covers:

Crawling babies and curious toddlers are at risk of getting themselves entangled into wires and tripping. Using floor cover cables could be an excellent way to avoid such accidents. They can be an excellent wire management solution that lets you cover up to 5 wires neatly. Not only does this prevent involuntary falls, but it also keeps the child’s attention away from the cables.

4. Keep the wires away from their hands and mouth:

When teething children look at something on the floor, they want to pick it up and eat it immediately. In such cases, if the attractive thing is a bunch of wires- the result could be very dangerous. To avoid any such incidents, soft cable wraps could be the ideal defense. Good quality cable wraps are soft and flexible, so they are safe even if the kids can reach them. Cable wraps are not only suitable for wires on the floor, but they also work well with the cables going against the wall or even on a desk.

5. Address extra-long cords:

Often, one might have long cables going with a wall or across a room. Trimming away these extra wires and only keeping an appropriate length could avoid many accidents around the house. If you need longer wires for the future, you could tug them behind the furniture with the help of tape, cable ties or duct cord covers.

6. Educate growing children and following basic rules:

Talking to children about electric safety starting from a younger age could save them from mishaps. Parents could then follow basic guidelines for conditioning the children.

  • Don’t plug things in and out in front of the children.
  • Stick to more concealing colors for wires around the house.
  • Don’t leave smaller appliances plugged in. Wrap away your hairdryers, laptops, and chargers when they are not in use.

Roof Restoration: 6 Signs That Your Home Needs

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your house. It gives you and your family protection from the sun, rain, and weather. Your roof also protects your belongings. Indeed, a life without a roof is unimaginable.

But many of us ignore our roofs. They don’t realize that their roof needs maintenance every few years. Lack of regular maintenance costs them lots of money, and of course, degrade your health too. But how can we know that our roof needs attention? This article talks about roof maintenance signs. If you detect the signs in your roof, it is time to repair it.

1. Age of the roof

via Massucco Warner

As a thumb rule, every roof must be replaced after every 20-25 years. If you have bought a new house, please ask its previous owner about the roof history. When was it last replaced? Also. know how long has it been since the roof was renovated?

How many shingle layers does your roof have? How proper is your roof ventilation? Please ask these questions before buying your new house. This would give an idea about when to improve your roof. If it’s been more than twenty years since your roof was renovated, ask experts like Rekote Roofing to step in.

2. Look at the shingles

via Massucco Warner


Shingles are flat, triangular pieces of stone that cover your roof. These components are placed in an interlocking manner on your roof. Shingles are very commonly used in not just Australia and New Zealand, but also the United States. Look at your shingles from time to time. The state of these parts can tell you whether you need roof improvement.

If your shingles are curled or bald, this means your roof needs attention. Curled, cracked or buckled shingles indicate that your roof has surpassed its life. Check those shingles that receive direct sunlight. If there are some missing shingles, this means your roof may leak. Snow, water, and dust might get through your roof and damage your belongings.

Sometimes, your shingles go bald. Shingles having inconsistent surfaces or dark colours indicate that your roof is nearing retirement. Look out for the granules of shingles in gutter pipes. This is a sign of your roof- exhaustion.

via Massucco Warner

3. A sagging roof

You surely don’t want a sagging roof on your head. It might collapse at any time and cause major damage. A sagging roof means there is a serious structural defect in the roof. Or there might be a foundation-related issue. Get in touch with a structural engineer if your roof is sagging.

4. Seeing sun or water in the attic

Sometimes the wooden beams in your roof need replacement. You can judge this by seeing moisture on the inner surface of your roof. Perhaps the wooden beam is exposed to the weather and is soaking outside moisture. Similarly, if you see sunrays inside your attic, this means your roof needs some fixing.

via Massucco Warner

5. Moss

Moss is a regular feature on roofs in Australia. These small plants crop up during the dry season and usually don’t cause any major problems to the roof. But if you live in some cold place where it doesn’t get much sunlight, spotting moss on your roof means there is some problem. In that case, don’t scrape off this roof; instead, use a mixture of water and bleach to remove this plant.

6. Flashing problems

If you are getting flashing issues in your chimney, it is time to go in for some roofing overhaul. Go in for a metal-based flashing in your chimney that is resistant to weather and sunlight. Thanks to Rekote Roofing for collaborating!

Choose a flooring type that you feel will add some glam to your home. For instance, if you are looking to go for a rustic look in your home, a hardwood floor would work perfectly. However, despite the flooring option you choose, always ensure that you wear comfortable shoes in the house to prevent and stop foot blisters.

4. Change the arrangement

Sometimes all the revamp you need in your home is simply changing the house arrangement. And the good thing about this is that it will not cost you a single cent. Look around and see how well you can rearrange the furniture in your home. Also, decluttering the house will help you a great deal. If there are things around the house that you no longer use, it is best to do away with them.

via Massucco Warner

5. Add some wall art

Having some wall art has a way of adding some life to your home. If you already had some around the house, you can choose to add a few pieces. On the other hand, if you had none, it might just be time to get some. And the good thing is that you do not need to buy the wall art, they can simply be family portraits.

6. Ensure that the lighting is perfect

One of the most important aspects of any home is having ideal lighting. Good lighting in your home has a way of uplifting your moods in a split second. As such, ensure that your windows allow the right amount of light into the rooms. You can get some window treatments and have them installed too. Not only are the window treatments functional, but they are also stylish and improves the appearance of your home. Also, it would be best if you thought about the lighting in the rooms at night. Ensure that you get the right type of lighting for every room in your home. For instance, the lighting in your bedrooms should not be too bright to allow you to have some goodnight’s sleep.

via Massucco Warner

7. Add some touch of nature

If you are into nature and love the look and feel of it, then you can go ahead and add some air-purifying plants in your home. You can choose to have the plants in small pots that you can strategically place around the house or even have some of them as wall hangings. Note that the plants not only look beautiful but also purify the air in your home. On the other hand, you can also choose to have some artificial plants as part of your interior décor.

Mezzanine Floors: 5 Places The Structure Can Be Implemented

What would you say is the biggest constraint of this century? Space! While one option is that you could always go for a smarter architecture to cater to all your needs in whatever limited area you find, the only other option that most people have at hand is to purchase a bigger space. However, this option is not viable for most people out there.

With real estate prices rocketing sky high, you can’t possibly think of buying a more generous land every time you run out of space. Moreover, it has been universal that as you expand your family or your business, your need for more space will keep on increasing.

We need to look at more smart options – mezzanine floors.

Mezzanine comes from the Italian word “Mazzano” which means middle. Thus, going by its name, you could guess that a mezzanine floor refers to the floor placed between two floors. This would not require over-the-top construction, nor would you need to disturb the existing infrastructure of your place. You could easily get the help of professionals to fix this or disband it whenever you want to remove it. This flexible yet dependable solution for your space can be used at multiple places. Following are just 5 of the various places where you could find the usage for mezzanine floors:

Making a kids room:

As is the case with today’s world, everybody needs their private corner. This is more so true for kids! Kids and adolescents would want creative rooms, a corner with brighter colours and their privacy. You would need to address their demand for privacy, and this can be done easily if you fix a mezzanine floor to your already existing house.

Making an attic:

Every house piles up a bundle of items, which they neither use nor throw away. All these items can find themselves in an attic-like corner. In case, your house doesn’t come with an attic or sufficient storage; you could just put a mezzanine floor and start using that as storage.

Warehouse:

Quite similar to how mezzanine can be used to improve the storage of your house, across the world, mezzanine flooring services have been used to increase the storage of office warehouses. A business thrives upon its capacity to meet the demands of its customers by providing appropriate supplies. To make sure that your supplies never run short, you will need to have ample stocks at any given point of time. Also, it is a good idea to keep them maintained in your warehouse, which is not a hard task if you have good insulation for warehouse.

You may have the capital to buy the stock in advance, but do you have the infrastructure to stock it? Your already existing infrastructure may not allow you to stock a lot of goods; however, using a mezzanine floor can again come to your service. When it comes to professional requirements, you should only consider hiring professional services to implant your mezzanine floor or even a loose-fitting could lead to the destruction of goods, and people present at the warehouse.

Office:


As your business expands, you will naturally be hiring more people. However, you may not be in the mood to change offices yet. You may have financial losses if you suddenly change your business address with your existing clients not knowing about it. Moreover, when you turn in office, there are a lot of other expenses that come your way.

You will have to pay a hefty advanced token, you will be required to pay rent, and the different changes that go towards appropriating the interior of the place would also add on. So, what you can do is experiment with your existing office, and to accommodate all your people in it, you can just put a mezzanine floor.

Gym:

Everybody wants to stay fit, but nobody has the time! Then, forget about running to the gym, bring the gym to you! You could use a mezzanine floor to put all your needed gym equipment at your home, and workout whenever you are free. Thanks to Advanced Warehouse Structure for contributing.

Top DIY Tips To Turn Your Kitchen Into A Baker’s Dream

If you’re an enthusiastic baker, chances are you have a few changes you’d like to make to your kitchen. 

After all, most kitchens don’t come equipped with every detail that makes baking a pleasure. Too-small cabinets, difficult storage, totally absent pantries—these things can make the preparation and process of baking into more of a chore than anything else. 

However, there are several things you can do to turn your kitchen into a baker’s dream—and the good news is that none of them require a full kitchen renovation! 

Add in or create open shelving.

Open shelving for ingredients, mixing bowls, and the other items you need for baking not only make it easier to see what you’ve got and what you need. And as a bonus, it will also give your kitchen a lighter, airier feel (as long as you keep those shelves tidy!). 

One of the best things about open shelving is that it’s a relatively easy DIY home improvement project. In some cases, simply taking off your cabinet doors will give you the open look and easy access you want. 

If that’s not an option, you can install open shelving wherever you have empty wall space. Remember that you’ll want to avoid keeping any heavy appliances, like that Kitchenaid mixer, on your new shelves; they’re much better suited for ingredients and baking implements that don’t weigh much.

Upgrade your oven

An old oven that heats unevenly will make baking even the simplest cookie recipe a headache. 

If you’re finding that your baked goods are turning out inconsistent, or unevenly baked, then you may want to test your oven with an oven thermometer. 

Place the thermometer inside your oven, and heat it to a temperature you commonly use—350, for example. You may be surprised at what the actual temperature is! You can also test the evenness of your oven’s heat by moving the thermometer to different places within the oven. This is just one of those small home maintenance tips that can be easily overlooked. 

If you decide to install a new oven, you may want to look at models with added options like convection or steam. 

Incorporate organizational details in drawers and on walls.

Mixing bowls, cutting boards, whisks and spatulas, cookie trays, cake pans—for serious bakers, these (and more) are all tools of the trade. 

To keep everything tidy and easy to find, consider adding organizational tools wherever possible. 

Over-cabinet spice racks, roll-out drawers that fit inside your larger drawers, ceiling hooks for your pots and pans, and wall hooks for your cutting boards are just a few ideas. 

You can also install tray storage if you have a tall cabinet that will allow your baking trays to stand upright. This will make it much easier to pull out only the tray you need, rather than bringing out your whole stack of pans and trays every time you need one.

Create a workstation. 

If you’re baking frequently, there’s no sense in taking out the same tools day in and day out. Instead, designate a small area of the counter as your workstation. 

Keep the tools you use most frequently in a display canister, choose a few spices to keep out on a small spice rack, and leave the mixer out for all to see. 

Turning your kitchen into a baker’s dream doesn’t need to mean ripping everything out and starting over. By incorporating some thoughtful, functional details, you’ll have a kitchen you love to bake in in no time!  Thanks to Homelight for consulting!
