BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSE MAINTENANCE: 

6 TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR HOME SHIPSHAPE 

Maintaining a house doesn’t 

have to break the bank. With 

strategic planning and a bit 

of DIY spirit, you can keep your home 

in top condition without draining your 

wallet. Here are six practical tips for 

maintaining a house on a budget: 

Regular Cleaning Routine: A clean 

home is a healthy home. Establish a 

regular cleaning schedule to prevent dirt 

and grime buildup, which can lead to 

costly repairs down the road. Invest in 

basic cleaning supplies like multipurpose 

cleaners, microfiber cloths, and a vacuum 

cleaner to keep surfaces and floors 

sparkling. 

DIY Repairs: Before calling in a professional, 

assess if you can tackle minor 

repairs yourself. With the plethora of 

tutorials available online, many home 

maintenance tasks such as fixing leaky 

faucets, repairing minor electrical issues, 

or patching up small holes in walls can 

be accomplished with a little guidance 

and effort. 

prevent them from escalating into more 

significant and costly repairs later on. 

Energy Efficiency: Save money on 

utility bills by making your home more 

energy-efficient. Install weather stripping 

around doors and windows to 

prevent drafts, switch to energy-efficient 

light bulbs, and consider investing in a 

programmable thermostat to regulate 

heating and cooling costs. 

Budget-Friendly Renovations: When it 

comes to home renovations, prioritize 

projects that offer the most bang for 

your buck. Focus on updates that add 

value to your home without breaking the 

bank, such as painting walls, refinishing 

cabinets, or installing energy-efficient 

appliances. Consider shopping for gently 

used or discounted materials to further 

reduce costs. 

Emergency Fund: Lastly, be prepared 

for unexpected home repairs by setting 

aside a portion of your budget for 

emergencies. Having a financial safety 

net in place can help alleviate the stress 

of unforeseen expenses and prevent you 

from resorting to high-interest loans or 

credit cards to cover repairs. 

Maintaining a house on a budget 

requires a combination of diligence, 

resourcefulness, and planning. By 

adopting these practical tips, you can 

keep your home in tip-top shape without 

overspending, allowing you to enjoy the 

comfort and security of your living space 

for years to come. 

Preventive Maintenance: Adopt a proactive 

approach to home maintenance 

to nip potential problems in the bud. 

Regularly inspect your home for signs 

of wear and tear, such as loose shingles, 

cracked caulk, or clogged gutters. 

Addressing these issues promptly can

FLOWER & GARDEN 

BLOOMS & BEYOND: CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOWERS FOR YOUR HOME 

The exterior of your home is the 

first thing guests and passersby 

notice, making it a canvas 

for personal expression and aesthetic 

appeal. One of the most delightful ways 

to enhance its beauty is by adorning 

it with flowers. However, selecting the 

right flowers involves more than just 

picking your favorites; it requires careful 

consideration of factors like climate, 

sunlight exposure, soil quality, and your 

own preferences. 

Firstly, assess the climate of your region. 

Certain flowers thrive in specific 

climates, so choose varieties that are 

well-suited to your area’s temperature 

and precipitation patterns. Native plants 

are often a safe bet, as they are naturally 

adapted to local conditions and require 

less maintenance. 

Next, evaluate the amount of sunlight 

your outdoor space receives. Some 

flowers, like sunflowers and petunias, 

flourish in full sun, while others, such as 

impatiens and begonias, prefer partial or 

full shade. Select flowers that match the 

sunlight levels in your garden to ensure 

they thrive. 

Consider the type of soil in your garden. 

Some flowers, like roses and lavender, 

thrive in well-drained soil with good aeration, 

while others, like hydrangeas and 

ferns, prefer moist, fertile soil. Conduct a 

soil test to determine its pH level and nutrient 

content, then choose flowers that 

are compatible with your soil type. 

Your personal preferences should also 

influence your flower selection. Consider 

the color scheme and style you want to 

achieve. Do you prefer a vibrant, colorful 

garden, or a more subdued, monochromatic 

palette? Mix and match flowers 

of different shapes, sizes, and colors to 

create visual interest and balance. 

Lastly, think about maintenance requirements. 

If you have a busy schedule or 

limited gardening experience, opt for 

low-maintenance flowers that require 

minimal care, such as marigolds, zinnias, 

and succulents. 

By carefully considering these factors 

and selecting the right flowers for the 

outside of your home, you can create 

a stunning outdoor space that reflects 

your personality and enhances the beauty 

of your property for years to come.

OUTDOOR DESIGN 

POOL 

DIVE INTO STYLE: TIPS FOR SYLING YOUR POOL FOR 

ULTIMATE RELAXATION AND ENTERTAINMENT 

Your pool is not just a place to cool 

off during hot summer days— 

it’s a focal point of relaxation, 

entertainment, and outdoor enjoyment. 

Styling your pool area goes beyond 

just functionality; it’s about creating an 

inviting and luxurious space where you 

can unwind, entertain guests, and make 

lasting memories. Whether you have 

a small backyard oasis or a sprawling 

poolside paradise, here are some tips to 

help you elevate the style of your pool 

area for maximum enjoyment. 

1. Define Your Design Style: 

Before diving into poolside décor, consider 

the overall design style you want 

to achieve. Are you drawn to a sleek and 

modern aesthetic, a tropical resort vibe, 

or a cozy Mediterranean-inspired retreat? 

Identifying your design preferences 

will guide your choices for furniture, 

accessories, and landscaping elements 

that complement your desired look. 

2. Choose Comfortable and Durable 

Furniture: 

Selecting the right outdoor furniture 

is key to creating a comfortable and 

inviting poolside lounge area. Opt for 

weather-resistant materials such as teak, 

wicker, or aluminum that can withstand 

exposure to sunlight, moisture, and pool 

chemicals. Invest in plush cushions and 

pillows upholstered in outdoor fabric for 

added comfort and style. 

3. Create Zones for Relaxation and 

Entertainment: 

Designate separate areas within your 

pool area to accommodate different activities 

and preferences. Create a lounge 

area with chaise lounges or daybeds 

for sunbathing and relaxation, and add 

a dining set or bar stools for outdoor 

dining and entertaining. Consider adding 

a cozy seating area with sofas and armchairs 

for intimate conversations and 

gatherings. 

4. Add Stylish Accessories: 

Accessorize your pool area with decorative 

elements that enhance its visual 

appeal and functionality. Incorporate 

outdoor rugs to define seating areas and 

add warmth underfoot. Hang decorative 

lanterns, string lights, or outdoor chandeliers 

to create ambiance and extend 

poolside enjoyment into the evening 

hours. Don’t forget to add pops of color 

with throw pillows, outdoor rugs, and 

potted plants to infuse personality and 

style into your outdoor space. 

5. Enhance Landscaping: 

Landscaping plays a crucial role in 

enhancing the beauty and ambiance of 

your pool area. Incorporate lush greenery, 

flowering plants, and tropical palms 

to create a lush and inviting oasis. Consider 

adding privacy hedges, trellises, or 

pergolas to provide shade and seclusion, 

creating a tranquil retreat where you can 

escape the hustle and bustle of everyday 

life. 

6. Install Water Features: 

Water features add a touch of luxury and 

sophistication to your pool area while 

providing soothing sights and sounds. 

Consider adding a fountain, waterfall, or 

bubbling spa to enhance the ambiance 

and create a sense of serenity. For added 

drama, install LED lighting to illuminate 

water features and create stunning 

visual effects after dark. 

7. Incorporate Poolside 

Entertainment: 

Make your pool area the ultimate entertainment 

destination by incorporating 

features that cater to your interests 

and hobbies. Install a poolside bar or 

outdoor kitchen equipped with a grill, 

refrigerator, and sink for effortless 

outdoor entertaining. Set up a portable 

sound system or outdoor speakers to 

enjoy your favorite music while lounging 

by the pool. 

8. Consider Safety and Functionality: 

While aesthetics are important, don’t 

overlook safety and functionality when 

styling your pool area. Install appropriate 

safety measures such as fences, 


gates, and pool covers to protect children 

and pets from accidents. Provide 

ample shade options such as umbrellas, 

awnings, or pergolas to shield yourself 

from the sun’s harmful rays during peak 

hours. 

9. Maintain Cleanliness and 

Organization: 

Keep your pool area looking its best by 

maintaining cleanliness and organization. 

Invest in storage solutions such as 

outdoor storage benches, deck boxes, or 

shelving units to keep pool toys, floats, 

and accessories neatly organized and 

out of sight when not in use. Implement 

a regular cleaning and maintenance routine 

to keep your pool and surrounding 

area in pristine condition. 

10. Personalize with Finishing 

Touches: 

Finally, add personal touches and finishing 

touches to make your pool area truly 

your own. Display artwork, sculptures, or 

decorative accents that reflect your personality 

and interests. Hang a hammock 

or swing chair for a cozy spot to relax 

and unwind. Incorporate elements that 

evoke fond memories or inspire a sense 

of tranquility and joy. 

Styling your pool area is an opportunity 

to create a luxurious and inviting outdoor 

retreat that reflects your personal 

taste and lifestyle. By considering design 

preferences, choosing comfortable and 

durable furniture, and incorporating 

stylish accessories and landscaping 

elements, you can transform your pool 

area into a stunning oasis where you 

can relax, entertain, and make cherished 

memories with family and friends. With 

careful planning and attention to detail, 

you can create a poolside paradise that 

enhances your outdoor living experience 

and brings joy and rejuvenation yearround.

WEATHER 

BY BRANDPOINT 

PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER: 

HOW TO USE AND MAINTAIN A GENERATOR 

Tornados, floods, hurricanes 

and more - severe weather is 

increasing around the world. 

Are you ready if a threatening storm 

hits your home? 

“Storm frequency and intensity 

is increasing, which means it’s 

important for homeowners to take 

a proactive approach to severe 

weather preparedness,” said 

Jonathan Green, senior regional 

parts and service manager at 

Northern Tool + Equipment. “Having 

the right equipment and gear on 

hand and ready to go means your 

family can stay as safe and as 

comfortable as possible.” 

Power outages and severe 

weather 

Power to your home may be 

intermittent and unreliable during 

bad weather. In worst cases, entire 

power grids can go out for days 

or weeks at a time. Green says it’s 

important to prepare by having 

flashlights ready, stocking up on 

batteries and properly maintaining 

a generator to power necessities in 

a home. 

If a major storm is approaching, the 

American Red Cross recommends 

unplugging small appliances 

to reduce potential damage 

from power surges that could 

occur. Always follow orders from 

authorities, who may tell you 

to turn off utilities to prevent 

damage to your home or within the 

community. 

If you are without electricity, a 

portable generator can help power 

critical household equipment. For 

example, the NorthStar Portable 

Generator with Honda GX390 OHV 

Engine has a fuel-efficient engine 

with a digital ignition for easy 

startup. The control panel features 

10 outlets and a 12-volt DC outlet, 

so you can power things like a well 

pump, a refrigerator and freezer, 

lights and electronics like TVs and 

cell phones to stay connected to 

emergency information. 

When selecting a generator, it’s 

important to know the right size 

for your needs, which is based on 

the rated wattage of what you want 

to power - as not all generators 

have the same power draw. To 

do this, add up the wattage of 

tools, appliances and motors you 

will want to run at the same time, 

then select a generator with the 

running wattage rating to match or 

exceed the total load. Items with 

electric motors require additional 

surge wattage at startup that can 

double or triple the normal wattage 

requirement - so look at the surge 

watts required. 

Continued on next page. 


WEATHER 

CONTINUED 

Green adds that having a generator is 

half the battle as it is just as important to 

use the equipment safely and maintain it 

properly by following generator safety and 

maintenance tips: 

1 

2 

USE FRESH GAS 

There is approximately a 90-day shelf life on 

fuel, especially in smaller quantities like what 

would be in the gas tank of a small engine or 

a small gas can. Never use bad gas in a generator 

or you risk damage to the engine. 

RUN UNITS WISELY 

Place generators outdoors away from your 

home, but shielded from rain as much as possible. 

Never run generators inside or covered 

tightly because this can clog spark arrestors 

and filters resulting in a fire hazard. Additionally, 

not ventilating exhaust increases 

risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. 

5 

6 

KEEP IT CLEAN AND LEVEL 

Always run the generator on level surfaces 

free from debris or other items. Non-level 

or vibrating surfaces may result in problems 

including poor engine lubrication, 

which can cause overheating. 

DON’T OVERDRAW POWER 

The size of your generator will dictate how 

many things it can power. Keep in mind, 

items with heating elements or motors 

often need double their rated wattage to 

start up, which is called surge. 

“Having a generator can be life changing during 

extreme weather, and it’s important to use this 

equipment safely and maintain it properly so 

you’re ready no matter what so your family is 

ready when severe weather comes your way,” 

said Green. 


3 

STORE UNITS PROPERLY 

When not in use, keep your generator clean 

and covered in a safe, accessible location. 

4 

PERFORM MAINTENANCE 

Being prepared is key, and a critical component 

of that is making sure your gear is ready 

in advance of serious weather. To that end, 

test the generator monthly to ensure it’s 

working properly. Just like any other engine, 

a generator requires maintenance, so keep 

up with the manufacturer’s recommended 

schedule for things like oil changes and spark 

plugs. Northern Tool + Equipment offers 

parts, service and repair expertise to ensure 

that generators, water pumps and other 

equipment is tuned up and ready.

sustainable materials such 

as High Pressure Laminates, 

seamless Solid Surface choices 

and non-porous engineered 

Quartz in designs that mimic 

the best of Mother Nature 

without impacting the environment. 

Calm with color 

Whether used as a room’s 

canvas or a pop of color on an 

accent wall, paint is an easy 

and affordable way to evoke 

nature’s beauty in the home. 

In fact, decorating with paint 

colors inspired by nature can 

bring a sense of calm and serenity 

to any living space. Dark 

blue hues reminiscent of water 

and the sky are trending, 

along with lush greens that 

infuse spaces with the fresh 

essence of grass and foliage, 

and nature’s neutrals like tans 

and beiges that express earthiness. 

Let textiles take you away 

Natural fabrics and fibers are 

a great way to keep things, 

well, natural. Add a jute rug 

or chunky knitted wool throw 

to your space. When picking 


a fabric/fiber, make sure to 

choose earthy tones inspired 

by nature. The Wilsonart HPL 

Textiles collection is another 

unique way to incorporate textiles 

that connect indoor spaces 

with the great outdoors. It 

offers a unique line of woven, 

nubby and printed textile designs 

that can bring an unexpected 

touch of nature to any 

surface or corner of the home, 

from kitchens to closets. 

Add warmth with 

wood looks 

The timeless look of wood 

is making a return to kitchens 

and baths but with a 

modern flair for a new generation. 

Think velvety, warm 

woodgrain looks gorgeously 

showcased in flat front doors 

with minimalist hardware. The 

Wilsonart Traceless collection 

is an affordable way to update 

kitchen and bath cabinetry 

with sophisticated woodgrain 

designs available in panel 

door styles with matching 

edgeband. The collection also 

features innovative fingerprint-resistant 

technology that 

eliminates smears, smudges 

and streaks, delivering 

low-maintenance luxury. 

Bring the outdoors in with 

natural accents 

Nature itself offers an endless 

array of accessories that can 

be incorporated into a home’s 

design aesthetic. Beyond the 

obvious addition of plants and 

flowers, consider creatively 

displaying rocks or shells collected 

from travels. Fill apothecary 

jars with sand from different 

beaches to add balance 

and harmony to a room. Or, 

mount pieces of unique tree 

branches on a wall as an artistic 

focal point. With nature, the 

possibilities are truly limitless.

design trends, inspiration and

HOME 

SECURITY & SAFETY 

SECURING YOUR HOME: TIPS FOR ENHANCED HOME SECURITY 

Home security is paramount for 

ensuring the safety and well-being 

of your family and property. 

Implementing effective home security 

measures not only deters potential intruders 

but also provides peace of mind 

knowing that your home is protected. 

Here are some essential tips to enhance 

your home security: 

Install a Security System: Invest in a 

comprehensive home security system 

that includes features such as surveillance 

cameras, motion sensors, door 

and window sensors, and a loud alarm. 

Modern security systems often come 

with remote monitoring capabilities, 

allowing you to monitor your home from 

anywhere via a smartphone app. 

Strengthen Entry Points: Secure all 

entry points, including doors, windows, 

and garage doors, with sturdy locks and 

reinforcements. Install deadbolt locks on 

exterior doors and consider upgrading 

to smart locks for added convenience 

and security. Use window locks and 

security bars to deter intruders from 

gaining access through windows. 

Illuminate the Exterior: Adequate 

outdoor lighting can deter potential 

intruders and improve visibility around 

your home at night. Install motion-activated 

lights around the perimeter of 

your property, especially near entry 

points and dark areas. Consider using 

smart lighting solutions that allow you to 

control outdoor lights remotely. 

Maintain Landscape: Keep your landscaping 

well-maintained to minimize 

hiding spots for intruders. Trim bushes, 

trees, and shrubs near windows and 

doors to eliminate potential hiding places. 

Avoid planting tall vegetation close 

to the house that could obscure views of 

your property from the street or neighbors. 

Use Security Signage: Display signs 

and decals indicating that your home is 

protected by a security system. Visible 

security signage can act as a deterrent 

to potential intruders and signal to them 

that your home is actively monitored 

and protected. 

Practice Smart Habits: Develop smart 

security habits to enhance the safety 

of your home. Always lock doors and 

windows when leaving the house, even 

for short periods. Avoid sharing sensitive 

information about your home security 

measures on social media or in public 

forums. Consider investing in a safe to 

secure valuables such as jewelry, cash, 

and important documents. 

By incorporating these home security 

tips into your routine, you can create a 

safer and more secure environment for 

you and your family. Remember that 

home security is an ongoing process, 

and it’s essential to stay vigilant and 

proactive in protecting your home 

against potential threats. With the right 

combination of security measures and 

smart habits, you can enjoy greater 

peace of mind knowing that your home 

is well-protected.

HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR GARAGE INTO A 

MULTI-PURPOSE POWERHOUSE 

A 

garage is no longer just 

a place to park your car. 

Today’s garages are agile 

and multifunctional, extending 

living space and elevating a 

homeowner’s lifestyle. 

The desire to use the garage 

for new purposes is a top trend 

with homeowners nationwide. 

During the pandemic, 78% of 

homeowners across generations 

intend to make changes to 

their garage, according to the 

New American Home Study. 

Furthermore, 49% of millennial 

homeowners have already 

transformed their garage 

into a gym, home office or for 

additional storage space. 

Are you ready to transform your 

garage into a multifunctional 

powerhouse? Here are three tips 

for upgrading your garage and 

helping you design a space ideal 

for your needs while enhancing 

your home’s value: 

Add Storage 

One of the primary things 

that separates a stereotypical 

garage from an enviable one 

is the organization. Clutter 

on top of clutter inhibits the 

multifunctional potential of the 

space. To start, get rid of junk, 

sort through necessities and 

transform the space to optimize 

organization. 

That means installing shelving 

and utilizing vertical space. 

Enclosed cabinets are ideal 

for limiting dust and keeping 

personal items out of sightlines 

from the road. Label and use 

storage boxes as needed to 

stay organized, especially with 

seasonal supplies only needed at 

certain times of year. Toolboxes 

and pegboards are ideal for 

keeping tools and hobby supplies 

conveniently on hand. Creating a 

system with these elements may 

take time, but it’s worthwhile 

because the benefits are lasting. 


Upgrade Your Garage 

Door Opener 

It’s time to ditch the loud, dated 

garage door opener for a stylish 

modern option with technology 

enhancements. 

Turn your garage into the envy 

of the neighborhood with the 

new LiftMaster Secure View 

garage door opener that looks 

like a sleek smart home device 

and does more than just open 

and close your garage door. This 

new opener comes with a builtin 

camera, corner-to-corner LED 

lighting and it works with the 

with the myQ® app so you can 

control, secure and monitor your 

garage door from anywhere. 

The built-in camera enables 

live video streaming and 2-way 

communication so you can see 

when the kids get home from 

school or tell your neighbor 

where to find the ladder. 

Additionally, the powerful myQ 

app acts as command central, 

allowing homeowners to easily 

share and manage home access 

without interrupting their day, 

as well as enabling smart access 

experiences like Amazon Key In- 

Garage Delivery as well as Smart 

Vehicle Access capabilities within 

select vehicles. Visit Liftmaster. 

com for additional information. 

Make It A Multifunctional 

Space 

Multifunction is the key for the 

ultimate garage, and no matter 

what your interests, you can 

customize the space to fit your 

needs. A workbench is a musthave 

for many, with ample 

space to tinker and make. For 

gearheads, a car lift might be a 

worthy investment. For those 

focused on health, installing 

workout equipment makes 

sense. Adding a TV might be a 

given, whether it’s to stream 

workouts or to watch the game. 

Keep in mind, you should add 

extras to enhance your comfort 

so you can get the most out 

of your time in the garage. 

Proper task lighting is essential. 

Depending where you live, 

adding fans to cool and heating 

elements to warm helps make 

the garage a year-round retreat. 

Finally, upgrading flooring turns 

any garage into an eye-catching 

hot spot, so research options 

including epoxy coatings and 

garage floor tiles. 



ROOFING 

REPAIR 

LEAKY ROOF: PROTECTING YOUR HOME & INVESTMENT 

Aleaking roof is not just a minor 

inconvenience—it’s a serious 

issue that requires prompt attention 

to prevent costly damage to your 

home. While DIY solutions might seem 

tempting, hiring a professional roofing 

contractor is often the best course of action 

to ensure the problem is addressed 

effectively and efficiently. Here’s why 

enlisting the expertise of a professional 

is essential when dealing with a leaking 

roof: 

Expertise and Experience: Professional 

roofing contractors possess the 

knowledge and experience to accurately 

assess the extent of the damage and 

identify the underlying cause of the leak. 

They are trained to spot potential issues 

that untrained eyes might overlook, 

allowing them to provide comprehensive 

solutions that address the root cause of 

the problem. 

Quality Workmanship: Attempting 

to repair a leaking roof without the 

necessary skills and tools can lead to 

shoddy workmanship and ineffective 

repairs. Professional roofers have access 

to high-quality materials and equipment, 

and they adhere to industry best 

practices to ensure that repairs are 

done correctly the first time. Investing in 

professional services ensures that your 

roof is repaired to the highest standards, 

providing long-lasting protection for 

your home. 

Safety First: Roofing work can be 

hazardous, especially for those without 

the proper training and safety equipment. 

Climbing onto a roof without the 

necessary precautions puts you at risk 

of injury or even death. Professional 

roofers are trained in safety protocols 

and have the appropriate safety gear to 

perform repairs safely and efficiently. By 

hiring a professional, you can avoid the 

dangers associated with DIY roof repair 

and ensure the safety of yourself and 

your loved ones. 

Warranty and Guarantee: Reputable 

roofing contractors stand behind their 

workmanship and offer warranties or 

guarantees on repairs and installations. 

This provides you with peace of mind 

knowing that if any issues arise after the 

repair, they will be addressed promptly 

and at no additional cost to you. Choosing 

a professional contractor ensures 

that you receive quality service and 

ongoing support to protect your investment 

in your home. 

Save Time and Money: While DIY 

repairs may seem like a cost-effective 

solution initially, they can end up costing 

you more in the long run if the problem 

persists or worsens. Professional roofers 

can efficiently diagnose the issue, source 

the necessary materials, and complete 

the repairs in a timely manner, saving 

you time and hassle. Additionally, investing 

in professional services can prevent 

future damage and costly repairs, ultimately 

saving you money. 

When it comes to repairing a leaking 

roof, hiring a professional roofing contractor 

is the smart choice. With their 

expertise, experience, and commitment 

to quality, they can effectively address 

the issue and safeguard your home 

against further damage, providing you 

with peace of mind and protection for 

years to come.
