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.

Tilt and turn windows are a unique ventilation system, unlike any other window. As the name implies, the window opens two ways. It can be opened like a standard window, or it can be tilted to ventilate from the top or the bottom of the window. Tilt and turn windows originated in Germany and they are more of a popular choice in Europe, however, we do have them available. One of the biggest benefits of tilt and turn windows is the unique way to increase and direct air flow around your home. You can choose to tilt the window so that the air flow is directed upwards.

When choosing new or replacement windows for your home, you'll be faced with two options for window types. Single hung windows, which only open from the bottom, or double hung windows, which can open from both the top and the bottom. 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 hung windows can be an inconvenience to keep open because of the draft that comes through at a level that's close to counter-top height.

Bay and bow windows are more than just windows. They are a bold and beautiful statement to any home-front and they offer a decorative touch to enhance the curb appeal of your home. Both bay and bow windows consist of several panels that extend out from the home, offering additional room on the inside of the house, as well as a gorgeous and dimensional addition to the outside of the house. Bay windows originated as a feature of Victorian homes in the late eighteen-hundreds. Most Victorian homes had bay windows that were placed one on top of another for each floor of the building, creating the picturesque turrets that we picture with traditional Victorian architecture.

Vinyl siding is one of the most widely available and affordable home siding options. The durability of vinyl siding makes it a great long term, economical choice. Many vinyl siding brands even come with lifetime warranties. A few disadvantages about choosing vinyl siding is that when it is damaged, which doesn't often happen because of its durability, the entire section of the vinyl needs to be replaced unlike other siding choices. Also, and unfortunately, vinyl siding is much more limited in color because you are not supposed to paint vinyl siding.
Picture windows are the perfect way to frame a gorgeous view of the outdoors. If you want a way to let in natural light, a picture window is a great way to do it. They are a simple form of window, but simplicity is beautiful. Picture windows offer a nice frame around a picture perfect back or front yard and will give you a feel for how the weather is without even stepping foot outside of your home. The most common use of a picture window is really aesthetic more than anything else, because they do not open.
Sliding or Slider windows are a perfect option for those who prefer a horizontal window solution. They offer a great solution for smaller windows, like in laundry or utility rooms. The single slide window operates much like a traditional window, however, the single, movable pane slides from right to left on a horizontal axis. 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.
