Go green to save green: earth-friendly home improvement ideas(BPT) - From cleaning out the garage to upgrading your floors and windows, it often seems like home improvement projects will never end. While you may be dedicated to making your home a better place, it’s also important to consider how it affects your carbon footprint. Are you doing every-thing you can to make your home earth friendly?
Not only could your home benefit from energy-saving changes, but you can also lower your utility bills and live green without sacrificing your style. While Earth Day falls in the month of April, it’s not the only time to commit to environmental stewardship. Consider some of these ideas to be both earth friendly and cost effective year round:
Choose the right materialsStart the planning stage of your project by selecting materials with low impact on the environment. For example, reclaimed wood is durable, versatile and renewable, and can add beauty and timelessness to your home. Since it is recycled, your reclaimed wood project doesn’t involve chopping down or harming any new trees. Other eco-friendly alternatives include linoleum instead of vinyl, low or no-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, bamboo and cork.
Rent your project toolsBefore you go out and buy all the tools and equipment you need for each home improvement project, do a little research to find out what you can rent. Not only does this save you money, but it also limits energy consumption, pollution and waste associated with manufacturing, storing and maintaining new equipment.
Hire savvy professionalsIf you’re undergoing a serious remodel, you’ll most likely be working with a con-tractor, designer or other professional to
review your plans and turn them into real-ity. Make sure you not only hire the right people, but make your goal of going green loud and clear. Ask to see examples of their work and have them explain what tactics they use to be environmentally friendly.
Use energy efficient equipmentIf possible, make sure the appliances, tools and equipment in your home have the ENERGY STAR label. This means that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) qualifies that product as energy efficient. The ENERGY STAR label is becoming more widely recognized as more consumers bring these types of appliances - like ovens, stoves and HVAC systems - into their home for both cost and energy savings.
Try eco-friendly lightingA lighting upgrade is essential for an earth-friendly home. While LED and CFL lightbulbs tend to cost more upfront, they use significantly less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, so you’ll save more in the long run.
Invest in water-saving featuresFixtures like low flow faucets, toilets and showerheads are just a few of the ways you can conserve water in your home and reduce the amount of your water bills. Additionally, there are plenty of washing machine and dishwasher options that give you the same level of cleaning power while saving both water and energy.
Going green doesn’t have to be difficult or costly. Use these tips to save money each month and impact the world around you in a positive way.
Tips to spruce up youroutdoor spaces for the season(StatePoint) When the weather warms up, it’s all about relaxing outdoors. But it’s possible you’ve neglected upkeep on your home’s outdoor spaces during the chilly months of winter.
To enjoy yourself more this season, take time to spruce up your yard. Here are some quick tips.
Do a surveyTake a walk around the perimeter of your patio, deck and yard to survey what needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced. Did pot-ted plants and lawn ornaments survive the cooler months? Are outdoor light fixtures functioning? Are fallen branches littering the yard? Make a mental to-do list.
Deep cleanLike interior spaces, periodic deep cleans are necessary outdoors too. But don’t waste your leisure time. A heavy-duty cleaner not only works indoors but is ideal for tough outdoor cleaning jobs. Use a multi-surface
formula to clean and remove mildew from patios, outdoor furniture, concrete, compos-ite and wood fences and siding, as well as to clean and degrease tools, lawn equipment and grills.
Routine maintenancePerform routine upkeep to keep items from falling into disrepair or becoming overgrown or unkempt.
Sweep walkways and your deck regu-larly, especially if they are situated under trees. Promote a healthy lawn by mowing it regularly, never removing more than one-third of the grass blade. Keep gutters devoid of leaves and debris so that water does not collect in your yard or at the base of your home’s structure. Rinse patio furni-ture, umbrellas and awnings using water or a diluted cleaner.
Spring is in the air. With a little effort, you can be prepared to make the most of it.

Seven steps to patio perfection(BPT) - Daffodils bloom brightly by the back door, temperatures are balmy, cookout season is on the horizon and you’re ready to give your outdoor living space a breath of fresh air. Great patios and decks enhance your enjoyment of spring and summer, and boost home value, so it’s well worth the investment to update and upgrade your home’s exterior living space.
Patio (or deck) perfection can be within your reach this season. Simply follow these seven steps to create an outdoor environ-ment where you’ll be proud to entertain all summer long.
Update your patio furnitureWhether your current patio set is worn out, you need more seating or are just in the mood for a whole new look, new patio furniture can change the way you feel about your outdoor environment - and how much time you spend there. Whether you want traditional wicker, durable metals or exotic woods like Eucalyptus, you can find
the right dining set, settee, chaise lounge, glider, ottoman, coffee table, rocker or swing among the many individual home decor items carried at home stores.
Replace cushions on your current setIf your current patio furniture is in good shape but just in need of some freshening, it’s easy enough to give it new life with small tweaks like updated patio cushions. Cushions are the crowning touch to catch the eye on patio furniture, and you can find hundreds of patterns, shapes and styles of patio pillows and cushions.
Add a water featureOne of the best ways to create your own oasis can be with a water feature. Easy to find and simple to set up accessories like a fountain can bring the harmony of water to your outdoor environment. For example, those with a waterfall feature immediately create a feeling of Zen and help drown out the noise of everyday life.
Make some shadeWhen you need a break from the sun, but aren’t ready to head indoors, shade can help you stay outside so you can enjoy the fresh air longer. You can add shade in many ways, from installing a retractable awning over the deck or patio to strategically planting trees or climbing vines on a trellis. And of course, the simplest way to add shade is to use patio umbrellas, which are available in a wide range of hues, patterns and styles.
Heat up your grilling stationWhat outdoor environment would be com-plete without a great grill? Accessories make grilling fun and easy, and ensure you’ll look and operate like a pro when whipping up summer fare. From grilling mitts to barbecue tool sets, burger and ka-bob grilling baskets, grill toppers and even taco shell baskets, you can outfit your grill station with everything you need for a great grilling experience.
Lighten upWhen you’re having a great time outdoors, who wants to go inside just because it’s dark? Add some lighting to your outdoor living space to create ambiance and allow you to enjoy your patio long after the sun goes down. You can invest in hard-wired patio or deck lights, go eco-friendly and easy with solar lights, or choose from an array of battery-powered or candle-fired lanterns.
Use decor to create a themeJust as your home’s interior has a design theme, choosing a theme for your patio or deck can pull the look together. Whether your taste is Boho Chic, Tribal or Weekend Getaway, you can find decor items that underscore the theme. Wall decorations, outdoor rugs, decorative planters and flower pots, wind chimes and statuary all work together to create a look you’ll love throughout the spring and summer.
The perfect patio - and hours of outdoor enjoyment - is within reach this spring and summer.

Sell or stay, these home improvements pay off in the long run(BPT) - Homeowners undertake home im-provements for two basic reasons: to please themselves or to please others who may one day buy their home. Some types of improve-ments are for the sake of a speedier sale, such as planting a row of shrubs between your backyard and a busy street behind your home. Others are for your own enjoy-ment, like painting your rec room your favorite shade of neon pink.
The best home improvements, however, pay off in the long run whether you’re staying or selling. Here are a handful of projects that are worth the investment whether you’re hoping to please potential buyers or make your home more enjoyable for yourself:
Add skylightsAny real estate professional will agree: buyers love balanced natural light. You probably do as well. Adding Energy Star-qualified no leak skylights is a cost-effec-tive improvement that enhances a home’s appeal to potential buyers, as well as its livability for the people currently occu-pying it. They’re particularly popular in
bathrooms (where fresh air and privacy is a concern) and kitchens (where they also provide passive ventilation of cooking odors and excessive heat), but skylights can go in any room where you want more natural light, an open, airy feeling and a brightened appearance.
Solar powered fresh-air skylights can help improve indoor air quality while brightening things up and cutting down on the need for artificial light. Add solar pow-ered blinds to boost the energy performance rating by as much as 45 percent and you’ll love your skylights even more. Solar-pow-ered skylights and blinds are operated by a touchpad programmable remote control and are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit, as is the cost of installation.
And skylight blinds can help you deco-rate while boosting energy efficiency. They are available in a variety of designer colors and patterns to coordinate with your decor while giving you complete control of the light that enters your rooms. The choices include light diffusing, light blocking, and light controlling Venetian blinds, all of which can be operated manually or by remote control.
Add or upgrade a deckWhen the weather warms, your family will want to spend more time outdoors and a deck is the perfect platform for outdoor enjoyment. Potential buyers also perceive it as a benefit, and adding or upgrading a deck can boost your home’s value. In fact, a wooden deck will recoup 75 percent of its installation costs at time of resale, and a composite deck recoups 64 percent, ac-cording to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report.
Bigger is better right now in the world of deck building, with more homeowners looking to increase the size of their decks. Multi-level decks are also on trend, with many people dedicating different deck levels for different functions, such as an outdoor kitchen, spa area with hot tub, and entertainment seating.
Exterior paintRepainting the exterior of your home is a big job, but one that’s well worth the invest-ment, whether you’re trying to impress potential buyers with great curb appeal, or simply make your house a more enjoyable place to return to each day. Exterior paint greatly affects the overall look of a home,
plus quality paint helps protect siding from the elements. Your color choice could also affect your utility bills; if you live in a hot environment, lighter colors will help reflect heat away from your home. If you’re selling, a fresh, attractive paint job could increase your home’s purchase price.
Kitchen cosmeticsGreat kitchens sell homes, and the kitchen is also the room where many families spend the greatest amount of time, so anything you do to improve a kitchen is well worth the investment. Taking care of basic items like replacing old cabinet hardware, up-grading faucets and lighting, and investing in quality countertops can be cost-effective ways to elevate your home’s value and boost the usability of the kitchen.
Even a minor kitchen remodel can recoup more than 83 percent of its cost at the time of resale, according to Remodeling Magazine.
Whether you plan to put your home on the market this spring or summer, or intend to stay put for years to come, it pays to invest in home improvements that enhance both resale value and your enjoyment of your home.
Energy Star-qualified solar powered fresh air skylights brighten your kitchen while venting cooking heat and odors. Solar pow-ered designer blinds add style, light control and even more energy efficiency. Both are operated by a pro-grammable remote control and qualify for a 30 percent federal tax credit, as do instal-lation costs.
Privacy in the bath, plus healthful natural light and passive ventilation, comes with Energy Star-qualified solar powered fresh air skylights. Solar powered blinds in designer col-ors and patterns further brighten the decor. The skylights and blinds are operated by a program-mable remote control and qualify for a 30 percent federal tax credit, as do installation costs.

Spring cleaning: six areas to repair, replace and refresh(BPT) - Spring is one of the most popular times of year to clean up your home inside and out, make renovations and take steps to ensure it operates efficiently for the rest of the year. But after the long winter months, the list of projects can pile up. This year, focus on six key areas to repair, replace and refresh around your house now - to avoid spending more time and money later.
Repair your roof and guttersInspect the roof to check for loose or cracked shingles. Also, be sure to look at indoor ceilings for any signs of water leakage and get started on repairs before more damage occurs. Take a look at the gutters to see if there are areas in need of repair as well, and tackle them now before there’s too much rain.
Repair and reseal your deckRemove debris and sweep the deck clean. Fix broken or bent boards and pushed up nails. Choose a cleanser formulated for your deck surface - whether for wood or composite - and apply a new coat of sealer and stain. A local home improvement center can advise you on formulations for your particular needs.
Replace your furnaceAs you make home upgrades, this is also a good time to upgrade your furnace for greater home comfort and lower energy bills.
Replace windows and doorsOlder windows can let unwanted air and moisture into your home. Installing newer, more efficient models will not only save money on cooling in summer and heating in winter, but they can bring the look of your home up to date. Replacing your front door in a great color and style can also add to your home’s efficiency and instantly add curb appeal.
Refresh with paintThere’s nothing like a new coat of paint to transform and update the look of a home. It’s also one of the easiest and most eco-nomical home improvement projects you can undertake. Check out your local paint store for ideas and suggestions to help you visualize your home in fresh new colors.
Refresh your indoor airThe spring and fall months can trigger allergies, so consider adding an indoor air cleaner that can remove airborne particles and allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mildew, pet hair and dander and fungus and bacteria, so everyone in your home can breathe easier.
Lastly, renew your commitment to home maintenance by creating a yearly schedule of home projects. Mark your calendar with target dates to remind yourself to complete key tasks - including what to focus on for the next season, before the colder months arrive.
What to know before renovating or building a home(StatePoint) Building a home or making upgrades? One of the most important fac-tors to consider is the material used. While “all-natural” may be an appealing quality on your plate, in construction, man-made products often provide more options and value.
Seek out materials offering durability, energy-efficiency and resistance to threats like fire and wicked weather. Many such high-quality products are domestic, so you can support US manufacturing while mak-ing key choices.
Boost home beauty, strength and effi-ciency with these projects:
Solid foundationStart a new home with a solid pre-cast concrete foundation. Those from Superior Walls are customized for individual homes and installed in one day -- far faster than alternatives like poured concrete.
Rigid foam insulation in these concrete panels wards off heat loss and creates a barrier against sidewall water penetra-tion. These features make the basement dampfree and a more comfortable area for extended living space in the home.
Plucky plumbingPerhaps your toilet rattles and leaks; maybe your tub and sink look dingy no matter how much you clean them. If it’s time to replace bathroom elements, use newer materials offering water efficiency, style and safety benefits.
For a coordinated look, consider a suite
of products that work together.Switching to an easy-access SmartHeight
toilet can be another smart move. Options in the bathroom like grab bars, walk-in tubs and pedestal sinks, all provide en-hanced safety and comfort.
Gorgeous windowsOver time, windows can look old and become difficult to operate. Make wise replacement choices that add beauty and privacy to key areas of your home without compromising light entry.
Whether it’s an acrylic block window over a bathtub or a set of decorative glass windows in the kitchen, privacy windows are a great accent for any room. Operable awning, casement, slide and single hung units can easily be opened to encourage airflow.
The roofYour roof is your protective layer, between the elements and you. Ideally it should be impact- and fire-resistant, as well as beautiful. Natural slate and shake roofing materials evoke traditional charm; how-ever they tend to degrade over time. Look for the manmade alternative.
Polymer slate and shake roofing tiles capture the authentic look of natural ma-terials but are more resistant to chipping, flaking and splintering.
To be a savvy homeowner, don’t leave it to chance. Select durable, high-quality man-made products.

A new remodeling trend is adding resale value to homes(StatePoint) Whether you’re looking to sell your house or just want to make a smart update that’s worth your time and money, consider a design trend that is both attrac-tive and proven to add value to your home: manufactured stone.
The numbers agree. Manufactured stone veneer projects offer a 92.9 percent cost re-covery, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, a detailed compari-son of the average cost of remodeling proj-ects with the value those projects retain at resale in 100 US markets.
If you’re looking to make a home upgrade using manufactured stone, consider the following trends:•Popular style: While homeowners once at-tempted to emulate materials available in the local natural environment, the elegant look of dry stack stone now dominates na-tionwide. The material features the look of smaller stones, providing an elegant natural look that’s versatile in both exterior
and interior applications.•Exotic colors: Color blends continue to feature earth shades, however, more reds, purples and burgundies are being mixed in to complement colors in carpet, walls or window treatments. •Versatile project ideas: As technology has made manufactured stone more ac-cessible to the masses, today it’s showing up on more than just a home’s exterior. In interior applications, stone adds a dramatic frame for kitchen stoves and islands, and is used around bathtubs to create a spa-like retreat. It’s also a popular choice for masonry surface application in finished basements or for stone fireplaces. Exterior stone accents, like an outdoor kitchen, deliver plenty of wow-factor without the wallet cringe that a traditional stone-laying job would entail.
Recapture home equity by seeking out projects and upgrades like manufactured stone, with a proven ability to add value.
