Wood siding needs to be painted to be weather proofed. If it is not painted, wood siding will succumb to moisture related issues. If you need to clean your siding for any reason, pre-treat with bleach or a vinegar based solution, then wash with a mild soap or detergent. If you have any significant stains, these can be removed with a light sanding. Follow up with a coat of paint if necessary. Lastly, since wood siding is lumber, it can be used for many different projects once its appeal as a siding on your home has run its course.

Taking care of your gutters is one of the least exciting and most annoying chores that a homeowner is responsible for. Not just that, but it is also somewhat hazardous, especially if you are uneasy on ladders. That doesn't mean, however, that removing the debris from your gutters is unimportant. Not only does leaving debris in your gutters cause clogs, which cause water to pool or to fall over the sides of your gutters, which can ruin flower beds and bushes, but leaving debris in your gutters can cause damage to your gutter over the long term.

Obviously, one of the large benefits of double hung windows is that the user can choose to open either the top of the window or the bottom, or both to let air flow in.

Single slide windows were traditionally installed in ranch style homes, as they were fitting for the type of architecture, however, single slide windows go well in any home.

Casement windows are another great window solution for any home. The reason that they are set apart from the rest of the window selections is because they are the only window that can be fully opened. Casement windows are set on hinges making it so that the windows can be opened by pushing the panes outward, leaving the window completely open. Casement windows offer a more traditional feel to a home as well, simply because windows like that have been used for centuries. Casement windows existed before slide windows became a standard type of window within homes.
