Dear HomeAdditionPlus.com Website Visitor,

Though the winter has been a mild one for many of us, particularly those of us in the Northeast, I am anxiously looking forward to springtime. Over these past short January days I have been visiting home shows and contemplating my spring home improvement, and yard and garden projects. With little snow, I have noticed signs of moles working their way through portions of my lawn. Apparently it is time, yet again, for another application of Grubex this spring.

 

During my home show visits I saw some interesting new products, or at least products that were new to me, that I thought were worth mentioning in this month’s newsletter.

Finally, we have added many new home improvement and home repair articles to the HomeAdditionPlus.com library. Take a look in our “Whats New” section to see what might be of interest to you.

 

One of the more interesting products I saw at the home shows was the technological advancements in metal roofing. Quickly fading are the days of either having to choose from corrugated metal roofs or large shiny red, green or blue residential metal roofs. Today you can buy metal roof materials that look identical to asphalt shingles and that install similarly. The latest metal roof products have approximately the same size and shape of standard asphalt 3 tab or architectural shingles, but at a fraction of the weight. Each metal shingle is coated with a sand aggregate to give an exact appearance of traditional asphalt shingles. See Metal Roof Shingle Advancements for more info.

 

Another set of interesting products showcased at the Home Shows was the latest in composite decking materials. Though mahogany decks look great, I have to say the composite decking products are starting to look even better, particularly when you consider maintenance. See our article on Composite Decking Material Choices to learn more.

 

I also spent some time talking to residential architects on their products and services that they offer. I have captured a summary of their products and services in the article Architecture Design Services Process. If you are considering building a custom home or even putting an addition on to your home you should have a look.

 

We have also put together a series of home product articles on kitchen sink selection, Bathroom accessory remodeling considerations, indoor water fountains, and home air filters.

 

Finally, we have added a series of articles on custom home building, including articles on custom home building for adult living, obtaining a new home construction loan, and custom home design floorplan considerations. You will definitely want to check out these articles if a new custom home or home addition is in your plans.

 

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 February. Spring is not too far off!

Metal Roof Installation and Advancements

Architecture Design Services Process

 

When planning to build a new custom home or home addition, it may make sense to work with an architecture firm to develop a quality architecture design. Frequently homeowners, who develop their own architecture design and plans for a custom home or home addition, end up with either an unapproved building permit, or even worse, a home or home addition that does not meet their expectations.
