All Season Rooms: Enjoy the Season Without Going Outside

If your home has a sunroom or three season room, you may be wondering how you can maximize its potential. Even though it’s the dead of winter, there’s no reason why you can’t get some kind of use out of this space until it is warm enough for you to have your local renovation service to upgrade it. Three season rooms are designed to be used for three seasons out of the year, usually spring, summer and fall. Four season spaces or all season rooms are ideal for all seasons. Upgrading the Possibilities Generally speaking, rooms that are made to be used for three seasons are cheaper to build than all season rooms because they do not necessarily require heating. They have different types of glass, insulation and heating and cooling systems. Of course, homeowners can make...

Wintertime Gutter Maintenance

One task that you should never neglect as a homeowner is gutter cleaning. Although this is something you may not look forward to, it is crucial for you to get it done before winter arrives. Once the snow and ice start to accumulate, you could be looking at costly repairs, especially if there are other issues with your gutters. Regular Maintenance Means Good Gutters A properly functioning gutter system directs rainwater away from your home. One that is dirty and blocked may cause water to accumulate around your home’s foundation and cause damage to the fascia on your roof. During the winter, you may need more than regular gutter cleanings to keep the water flowing through your gutters and downspouts. A Lack of Gutter Maintenance Leads to Problems When the snow and ice that surround your gutters starts to...

Three Season and Four Season Rooms

‘What is the difference between a three season and four season room’ might sound like a very easy question to answer and, for the most part, it is: one room can be used for an additional season.

Why This is Not a DIY Job Removing any walls throughout the home is not something you can just jump forward with. Having a contractor on-site can provide more insight on whether or not the walls are holding weight. This weight, if the walls is removed, will come crashing down; leaving you without a home.
