Dear HomeAdditionPlus.com Website Visitor,

Well the last of the snow has melted and the robins have made their return to southern New Hampshire. It’s a sure sign that spring has finally sprung.

 

With the weather now improving it’s a great time to survey the outside of the home and assess any winter damage and evaluate home maintenance and improvement projects. Winter damage usually includes items such as warped or damaged roof shingles caused by ice dams, vinyl siding that has loosened from the home due to wind, or driveways that have cracked from the melting of frost heaves.

Immediate repair is necessary if you are to prevent bigger problems around the home.

 

Over the past month we have focused on providing new content on fences for the home. In particular, we focused on aluminum fences, which are great looking and practical fences for enclosing a pool or backyard.  See our articles on “Buying tips for Aluminum Fences”, “How to install an Aluminum Fence”, and “Choosing the Appropriate Fence to Install”.

 

Also, if you are looking for a low cost way to add additional living space to your home, you will want to see our article on Garage Conversions. Garage conversions are a great way to add 200 to 400 square feet of finished living space at a fraction of the cost of building a new home addition.

 

If painting is in your spring plans, we have also added a new article on Oil based paints versus water based paint. There are pros and cons on each pending the particular painting project.

 

Finally, HomeAdditionPlus.com has entered the video world.  In addition to new articles on home improvement and remodeling we have now begun to add videos to the website and YouTube. You can find the videos on HomeAdditionPlus.com or on our YouTube channel which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/HomeAdditionPlus. If you are interested in receiving notice of our latest videos subscribe to our YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/HomeAdditionPlus. In addition to how-to advice, the videos will also include home building product reviews, and interviews with various experts in the home building trade.

 

As always, if you have any specific Home Improvement questions or would like to see articles on certain subjects send me an email at contact@homeadditionplus.com.

Also, if you have pictures of your home or latest home improvement project that you want to share with the HomeAdditionPlus.com community [Click Here] and we will create your own home’s unique webpage.  

Again, good luck with your home improvement projects and make the best of March. Spring is just about upon us!

Buying Tips for Aluminum Fences

 

When buying an aluminum fence there are several things you need to look for to ensure that you are buying the most appropriate aluminum fence for your specific needs. 

 

There are a number of manufacturers claiming to carry the best aluminum fence product.  Most reputable aluminum fence manufacturers have a website.  Visit their website to find out their history, products and services, (i.e. how long they have been in business, the size of the company, product offering choices such as variety of aluminum fence styles and colors …etc.).  [Read More]

 


How to Install an Aluminum Fence

 

Once you have purchased your aluminum fence, the installation process can begin.  First you want to stake out your property.  Determine your corner and end post locations. 

 

You will then drive stakes into the ground and run a tight string line between the stakes to mark the fence line.  Be sure the stakes are tall enough, so the string does not touch the ground.  You are now ready to set your end, corner and gate posts. [Read More]

 


Oil vs Water Based Paints

 

Whether you are planning to do interior or exterior house painting the inevitable question always comes up on what type of paint to use. Should you use an oil based paint or a latex based paint? Both have their advantages and disadvantages and neither is ideal for every situation. [Read More]

 


A Garage Conversion Project

 

A garage conversion project is a simple and great way to add 200 to 400 square feet of living space to your home. Frequently garages are converted into bedrooms, bathrooms, and family rooms. Due to the fact that a garage already consists of a foundation, four exterior walls and a roof it is relatively an inexpensive solution for adding more living space to your home, compared to building a brand new home addition.
