Dear HomeAdditionPlus.com Website Visitor,

With the end of winter just around the corner, it is the perfect time of year to begin planning for home improvement projects. In the case of building a new home addition it is even time to begin talking with building contractors. See our featured article this month on Planning a Home Addition.

It is also time to begin thinking about spring cleaning and gardening. If you have not already ordered your garden seeds there is still a little time left.

Late winter is also a good time to begin thinking about taking the lawnmower in for a tune up and having any repairs done that may be necessary.

It is also a good time to assess any winter weather damage to your home that may need to be addressed in early spring. In particular roof damage that may have occurred due to Ice dams. Also, shingles can be damaged with the high winds that are frequented by the strong winds of winter. 

This month we have added several new articles to HomeAdditionPlus.com that are associated with roof concerns including: Shingle types, and how to prevent ice dams.

We also came across a new and innovative tool this past month for helping in the installation of Drywall.  You may want to take a look at this product if you have Drywall plans on your home improvement agenda. [Learn More]

We have also expanded our portfolio of HomeAdditionPlus bid sheets. A Home Addition Bid sheet is a guide for homeowners to help in the selection of hiring a contractor for a home addition building project. Each Home Addition Bid sheet includes a request for proposal (RFP) form that you can submit to prospective general contractor(s) for them to complete and provide back to you for review. The RFP form consists of over 100 questions, in some cases, on all aspects of your home construction plans.

In addition, the Home Addition Bid Sheets provide extensive and important advice to homeowners on how to work with general home contractors and their sub-contractors in order to ensure the home building project is completed to the homeowners satisfaction. Visit Home Addition Bid Sheets to learn more.

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.

Again, good luck with your home improvement projects.

With the end of winter just around the corner, it is the perfect time of year to begin planning a home addition.

The planning phase is the most important stage of a home addition building project.
