The middle window runs parallel to the surrounding wall, while the two adjoining windows are angled outward. The installation typically extends 2 to 3 feet beyond the foundation. Bay windows can also be found on the second floor of a home. Continue reading "How to Decorate a Bay Window with Style"

Your driveway is grimy and covered in potentially dangerous and corrosive or acidic chemicals, dirt, sand, salt and more. The hazards of ignoring a dirty driveway and the benefits of routine pressure or power washing are numerous. Routine pressure washing doesn’t only benefit the current homeowner but can also impact the value of the home and increase the overall curb appeal of the property. Cleaning concrete periodically will extend its service life and enhance its beauty. It can be difficult to tell when concrete is in need of cleaning because the dirt and grime can build up so slowly. However, once the process is done, the results of freshly cleaned concrete are undeniable. Continue reading "Why Do I Need to Pressure Wash My Concrete?"

Can’t remember the last time you cleaned your windows? The grime, fingerprints, and water spots tell you the task is long overdue. Use the information here to help you create a schedule for how often you should be cleaning your windows, both inside and out. Why are Clean Windows Important? Windows perform several vital functions in your home, including allowing natural light to enter and providing a view of the exterior. Free sunlight helps to keep your electricity bills down, especially in the winter, and you may enjoy curling up with a good book on the window seat. Not only can you read by the natural light, but you can also keep an eye on the kids playing outside. All of these activities go by the wayside if your windows are overly dirty. Dusty debris can block the light, and smears may ruin the view. Get the most from your windows by keeping them clean! How Often Should You Clean Your Windows Inside and Out? The frequency of this chore depends on several factors, from environmental considerations to your personal preferences. Your schedule might range from once a month to once a year. Here are some scenarios and where they fall along that timeline. Once a Month If you’re a business owner, clean windows are all about looking good. In this context, you must clean away spots before they draw any attention to themselves if you hope to keep up appearances. That’s why businesses may choose to have their windows cleaned at least once a month. Every Three Months The most diligent homeowners schedule cleanings about four times a year. The settings that demand frequent exterior window cleaning include: · Forests, where debris from trees and bird droppings make a mess of your window panes · The seaside, where salt deposits can stick to the glass and corrode the frames · Cities, where dust and smoke can fog up the windows Different factors may increase the need for interior window cleaning. For instance: · You may have children who leave fingerprints and greasy smears on your front windows · You could have pets that make wet nose marks and muddy paw prints on your glass patio door · You might do a lot of cooking, which can splatter the kitchen windows · You may enjoy entertaining and want to make the best impression on your guests Every 6 to 12 Months In the average residential setting, cleaning your windows once or twice a year is usually sufficient. Sticking to this schedule allows optimal light to stream in and promotes a flawless view of the exterior.
