Maintaining The Quality Of<br />

The Floors In Your Room<br />

Floating floor boards are usually used in the<br />

surface mediums; that’s why it is more prone<br />

to liquids and warps. Mopping is never recommended<br />

if you have this kind of flooring.<br />

How to clean your floor properly<br />

Sweep and vacuum the floor regularly and<br />

use a dust mop to get rid of any accumulated<br />

dusts.<br />

Use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser to clean<br />

any stubborn dirt or spills on the floor. Never<br />

use any abrasive scrubber on your floor boards<br />

because it can damage its quality.<br />

As much as possible, never spill any water on<br />

the floor because it will result to any damage.<br />

If ever this accident may happen, immediately<br />

use a sponge or a dry cloth to get rid of the<br />

water.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 10


If ever there are paint, food stains or nail polish<br />

spilled on the floor, use a rubbing alcohol or<br />

a nail polish remover to get rid of the stains.<br />

Wipe out the debris and never scrub the floor.<br />

If wax is spilled on the floor, wait for it to dry up<br />

and cool. Gently scrape the wax away and later<br />

on use a sponge to wipe the area.<br />

If there is a chewing gum stuck on the floor,<br />

you an ice to harden it and scrape it away like<br />

the way you did on the wax. Again, wipe the<br />

area with a sponge to clean it.<br />

Always check the manufacturer on how to<br />

clean the floor boards. Some manufacturers<br />

may want you to use specific brands to help<br />

you maintain the cleanliness of the floors.<br />

Tips for your floor boards<br />

Do not let the floor have long periods of time<br />

directed by sunlight, it can cause discoloration<br />

of the floor or fade its colour. Use protectors<br />

underneath your furniture to prevent any<br />

scratches on the floor.<br />

Place doormats on every door to trap the dirt<br />

immediately and reduce it going to the floor.<br />

If you have petsComputer Technology Articles,<br />

always trim their nails so that they won’t<br />

scratch your floor.<br />

Don’t wear a stiletto heels when on the floor<br />

because it can also scratch the floor.<br />

Remember that a floor board that is constantly<br />

cleaned can have a longer life and can maintain<br />

its beautiful quality. Make sure that you<br />

exercise good judgement in every stain that<br />

might incur.<br />

BRYAN BAEUMLER ON<br />

EVERYONE’S TOP RESOLUTION:<br />

STAYING ON BUDGET<br />

Bryan Baeumler’s name has become synonymous to home<br />

renovations and it’s no wonder why. If you’ve been lucky to<br />

meet him in person, you’ll understand how his charismatic<br />

charm, wit and more importantly expertise has landed him<br />

numerous hit shows on HGTV. His down-to-earth relatability<br />

has made him a household name for so many DIY , reno-loving<br />

Canadians and his fan-following just can’t get enough of it! From<br />

House of Bryan, Disaster DIY, Leave it to Bryan and now, Island<br />

of Bryan, Baeumler has been sharing his industry knowledge onscreen<br />

for many years. This year, he’ll be on the Main Stage at<br />

the <strong>Edmonton</strong> Renovation Show January 25-27th to share more<br />

of his industry secrets. For now, he’s got the tips for your New<br />

Year’s home reno resolution: staying on budget.<br />

Budgeting for a reno? Easy! Staying on budget? Not so much.<br />

Bryan’s advice for staying on track for your next home project<br />

consists of research and a lot of patience. “The trick is to be<br />

patient, and time your major purchases with big sales, or save<br />

the tax events. It’s also important to do your research and<br />

take advantage of any government grants or tax credits that<br />

might be available to you.” Design with your forever home in<br />

mind: “be patient with what you pick and be sure not to just<br />

buy something because it is on sale. Keep in mind that you are<br />

renovating for the love of something which will help you love<br />

your home for longer. That saves the dollars in the long run.”<br />

Take it a step further he says, upcycling and refurbishing old<br />

furniture is a great way to save but can be more time consuming<br />

than buying items that are ready from the store. “If you’re open<br />

to using second hand materials consider visiting consignment<br />

stores, antique shops or even a local ReStore. While the<br />

selection is limited and varies depending on donations, if you’re<br />

on an extremely tight budget and not in a rush, it’s worth a visit<br />

- often times, you’ll find great pieces at amazing prices that are<br />

unique, plus you get to help out local small shops or Habitat for<br />

Humanity at the same time.”<br />

with homeowners. “I think it’s amazing that people can jump<br />

on social media and reach out to someone like myself, or other<br />

contractors or professionals to ask for advice. Before we would<br />

use the phone book, but I’ve found with the internet it can be<br />

troublesome to find home-service providers that are accessible,<br />

quick and most of all, reliable. This app really helps narrow the<br />

scope and help support entrepreneurs who are essential to our<br />

communities, like electricians, carpenters and other trades”.<br />

The <strong>Edmonton</strong> Renovation Show can’t come at a better time.<br />

With the New Year right on our tails, it’s the right time to make<br />

the changes you’ve dreamed of. And as Bryan says, “investing in<br />

your forever home is the best investment you can make!”. With<br />

more than 225 exhibitors, grab your blueprints, pin your ideas<br />

and bring them down to the show for all the expert advice you<br />

need to be successful in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

For more information on all the experts at the<br />

<strong>Edmonton</strong> Renovation Show, visit us show weekend or stop by<br />

www.edmontonrenovationshow.com!<br />

When it comes to the internet, there are many blogs and DIY<br />

articles showing you the best way to just do-it-yourself. Doing<br />

part of the reno yourself is satisfying, makes your home more<br />

personal and can save you some extra bucks. For tasks that<br />

don’t have much risk, feel free to study, and roll up those sleeves<br />

yourself. “It’s great that there’s so much information available<br />

for people to take control of their own renovations.” For trickier<br />

parts of a reno, like electricity, plumping or structure, it’s still<br />

best to call in the expert. “Stuff like structural integrity, wires,<br />

and plumbing are things you should probably call-in help for.<br />

We wouldn’t want irreversible damage or accidental mishaps<br />

happening to the home …having to re-do part of a renovation<br />

is often what causes renos to go over budget too.” Bryan has<br />

embraced the technology age, even going as far as to create<br />

an app, HeyBryan that connects expert home-service providers<br />

“HOW MY COMPANY is AND why MY FOCUS CHANGED<br />

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001”<br />

LEO GINGRAS’S OWN WORDS:<br />

“Sept 11 2001,I remember going to a restaurant across<br />

the road from the office after hearing about the attacks<br />

on the US. I sat for hours watching what went<br />

on and felt great loss. That was a change in our world.<br />

My commitment to customers changed as I felt those<br />

peoples sacrifice that day. I was determined then to<br />

give the respect and deliver on commitments regardless<br />

of the owners mindset. The customer was now<br />

family. I have tried my career in property maintenance<br />

to supply valued service to all customers. I have most of<br />

these customers with me since that change in attitude.<br />

The change in attitude was not profit driven but customer<br />

driven. I have really great customers and look<br />

after properties for them in Lloydminster, Whitecourt,<br />

Calgary and of course all around <strong>Edmonton</strong>”.<br />

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT<br />

One thing is personal to us and my Friend Shane<br />

Michener is the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation.<br />

Jessica was a loved relative of Shane’s wife Monique,<br />

Shane and I are partners in A Kung Fu School (Inner<br />

Dragon Kung Fu) We have retired from formal classes.<br />

We offer, for fundraising purposes, a Women’s Self Defense<br />

Seminar Shane developed and usually have one a<br />

year. www.jessicamartelmemorialfoundation.com<br />

STROKE FOUNDATION OR THE LIVER FOUNDATION<br />

WHAT DRIVES US GOING FORWARD<br />

“I believe that every customer has a set amount of<br />

money available to maintain the property they own, by<br />

providing the cost efficient technology we can improve<br />

the end result. I will assist in other areas and assist with<br />

other aspects of the remaining budget to save more. If<br />

I was really driven by profits like majority of my competitors<br />

I would not be doing a great service to my customer.”<br />

Local Inspector<br />

Your Inspector<br />

For most people buying a home is the biggest<br />

investment in their life and I am here to make<br />

your decision easier by thoroughly inspecting your<br />

future home.<br />

I walk every roof, as long as it is safe to do so.<br />

This ensures that I can have a good look at shingle<br />

installation and condition, flashing installation and<br />

other things which may affect your roof.<br />

I will also have a good look at grading, siding, stucco,<br />

sidewalks, driveways, deck, heating/air conditioning,<br />

electric, plumbing and much more.<br />

Local-Inspector.ca is your “one stop Inspection<br />

shop”.<br />

Hi, my name is Ronny Reinhold. I started my<br />

career as an apprentice carpenter in 1995 in Germany,<br />

where I also achieved a Master Carpenter<br />

designation in 2004.<br />

I came to Canada in 2006 where I first worked for<br />

a commercial contractor before I started my own<br />

company The Carpenter <strong>Edmonton</strong> Ltd. in 2011.<br />

I am always on the lookout for things which can<br />

benefit our clients. In 2016 I decided to obtain a<br />

Home Inspection License and support my desire<br />

to ensure top quality safe and reliable work for all<br />

my clients and anyone else who might need Home<br />

Inspection advice. The Carpenter <strong>Edmonton</strong> Ltd.<br />

therefore is a licensed as a Home Inspection Business<br />

as well as a 20 year Carpentry expert here in<br />

content first and ad content second. This has allowed us to<br />

have exclusive and prominent ad spaces in the magazine<br />

and allows for better visibility. Our readers told us they still<br />

would like a directory of companies and services…. We<br />

listened…<br />

The directory allows our readers to easily access services or<br />

products in one area. We have selected the companies for<br />

the section to ensure our readers are getting good services<br />

and products. As with ALL our ad Partners in the magazine<br />

Big or Small, we like to partner with the ‘Best”<br />
