There are a surprising number of things to be aware of when having your driveway paved.
A question that not enough people are asking is this:
Is driveway drainage planning important?
In short, YES!
Here’s why:
With improper drainage, water is allowed to flow towards your home, and that's a big no-no – this could be catastrophic to the integrity of your home if left untreated.
So when you are getting your driveway done, be absolutely sure that you have a professional make a plan for you – so that you can go with the flow!
If you are in need of a driveway drainage plan, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help keep your home safe :)

Some things just aren’t meant to wobble around.

For example, something you (hopefully) use every day, but never think about:

Your showerhead.

If you have a wobbly showerhead, or even some wobbly pipes – here a tip for you:

The secret to success is expanding foam.

Tape up the area surrounding where the pipe enters the wall to protect it from the foam. Then, simply spray the foam into the empty space between the pipe and the wall, and watch it work its magic!

That's it – your family and friends will see you as the most handy person around, and you barely had to lift a finger!

We won't tell them how easy it was, promise ;)

How much money can I save by installing insulation in my home?
The answer, while not so simple, shouldn’t come as a surprise.
When you consider the fact that a poorly insulated home will lose lots of heat – you start to see the bigger picture.
Less insulative power = more energy spent heating your home = more money down the drain.
Better insulation = less money on energy.
Pro tip, especially if you live in an igloo.

Working on your backyard is a labor of love.

I’m trying to insulate the house asbestos I can!

Ok… Sorry about that.

You’ve heard of asbestos, the carcinogenic material commonly used as insulation – at least until they discovered its adverse effects in the 1970s [x over eyes emoji]

Thankfully, it was phased out and we’ve switched to a much safer option – fiberglass.

But, before that, what were people using to insulate their homes?

Both the ancient Egyptians and the Vikings used to stuff mud bricks in their walls to trap in the heat.

In the middle ages, many houses used a mixture of mud and straw – they had leveled up in the insulation game.

But, interestingly enough, it was the ancient Greeks who first started using a more modern form of insulation, the infamous asbestos.

Asbestos actually translates to “inextinguishable” – they were fascinated by its resistance to fire.

So before you start making mud bricks for your house, consider buying some batts of fiberglass insulation – and keep your family warm and safe through the winter months!

When we were kids, we thought the insulation in our walls was cotton candy.

Thankfully our parents told us not to take a bite!

Many of us have never given it a second thought since. But if you are a homeowner, it could be worth your while…

So let's pack our brains tight with some insulation information.

Obviously, insulation is what keeps the heat trapped inside our homes.

We measure the effectiveness of insulation with something called “R-value”. The higher the value, the more resistant it is to heat – and the more insulated your house will be.

An improperly insulated home can cost you greatly in energy bills…

So make sure that when you are insulating your home, you get the good stuff – and dont forget to pack it tight!

From clay tiles, to thatch, to shingles – the evolution of the roof is a fascinating subject.

Owing to our choice for materials, homeowners today don’t suffer as many leaky roofs as our medieval counterparts, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen at all…

If you’re noticing a little drip where it doesn’t belong, don’t hesitate to let us know – we’ll be there on the double to plug that leak!

How does a stain like that even get on the ceiling?

No, no, it wasn't a wild party with your eccentric neighbors – it was a water stain!

Regardless, it's not very pleasing to the eye.

But don't reach for that bucket of paint – there is still hope for a quick fix!

Mix up some water and bleach, 1 part bleach for every 10 parts water, and spray the mixture on the stain.

Wait 2 days, and see what happens…

Happy spraying! :)

As a kid, didn’t you used to love sliding around on wooden floors in your socks? 🧦
But…it was also super fun to rub your feet on the carpet and give an unexpected victim a little static shock ⚡

Bet you’d never learn about the history of carpets – get ready for this:

The oldest surviving carpet was excavated in 1949 from a Pazyryk burial mound in the Altai Mountains in Siberia. It dates back all the way to the 4th or 5th century BC!

There are many different types of traditional carpets, with countries like Afghanistan, China, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Spain, England, and more all having their own unique styles.

And while most of us don't have extravagant carpets in our homes, we can all still appreciate the feeling of a nice carpet on our feet [feet emoji]

So if you’re in need of a new carpet, look no further! Give us a call and we will sort out your carpet caper!
