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! :)

Fixing your toilet really stinks.

Especially when you go to start the job and you realize that the shut-off valve won't shut off!

But there is no need to spring a leak – it's an easy fix you can do yourself:

-First, turn off your main water valve
-Second, remove the packing nut
-Third, unscrew the stem. Remember to hold on to this! Because…
-Fourth, take the stem to a hardware store to find a suitable replacement washer
-Finally, clean any dirt or grit out of the inside of the valve and put on the new washer

Et voila! Your shutoff valve should be working as good as new :)

What type of shingles should I put on my roof?

The fate of your roof lies in the answer.

Commonly, there are two different types of asphalt shingles to choose from:

1) Organic, made from recycled felt paper soaked in asphalt
2) Fiberglass, which is more commonly used due to being cheaper and more durable

You can also choose between two design styles:

1) Dimensional shingles, which are more costly but last longer
2) 3-tab, which are more affordable

Having a roof over your head is one of our basic needs – so choose wisely!

If you have any questions about shingling, or what roofing you may need, give us a call and we’ll be happy to give you the advice you're looking for!

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!

We’ve sprung a leak!

Did you know that inefficient and leaky doors, windows and skylights make up more than 25% of the average household's energy costs? Ouch…

Fortunately, just by upgrading your windows with airtight frames, double-pane insulated glass and heat-resistant coatings, you can cut your energy costs by up to 15% [mind blown emoji]

So are you blowing your money into the wind?

Give us a call and we’ll get your home sealed tight!
