Questions to consider before calculating the cost of a new    roof:        
    When calculating the cost of a roofing job, you will need to    figure out two separate costs: materials and labor.  
    The cost of materials can be calculated by finding the square    footage of your roof, looking at the type of material you want    to use and figuring out how much of that material you need.    Most roofing contractors give their materials cost in terms of    10 ft. x 10 ft. squares (100 square feet). Most materials cost    about$150 per square. This list will give a sense    for the relative costs of materials.  
    It should be noted that modified bitumen, a form of asphalt    roll roofing, may only be used on flat roofs. All other roofing    styles may be used on both flat and pitched    roofs.Learn    more about roofing materials here.  
    Additional materials and tools will be required to do roof    repair. Chief among these will be a ladder, for which you want    to err on the side of caution regarding the length. Long-time    homeowners may already own a big ladder that they can use to    get to the roof, but new homeowners may need to include a    ladder investment in their estimate of roofing costs and prices    if they plan on making it a DIY job. A new ladder can be    anywhere from$200 to upwards of    $500depending on how high your roof is.  
    Other materials include fasteners and basic tools like a hammer    or drill, protective sealant materials, ventilation materials,    flashing, leak barriers and more. Costs of these materials vary    widely, though they will generally be a fraction of the cost of    the main roofing materials.  
    A good rule of thumb formeasuring    your roof's pitchis that the average cost of labor    for roofing is generally equivalent to the cost of materials    for that size of roof. This means that by doing a roofing    project by yourself, you could save about half the money you    would otherwise spend. On the other hand, you will have to    spend about two to three times as much time as a professional    contractor with roofing experience to do a job that might not    be as good.  
    Installing a roof is relatively forgiving work, especially if    you're using inexpensive materials. "Forgiving" here means that    if you make a mistake, you can usually repair it at little    cost. However, if you don't take your time and make sure that    there are no leaky spots, you might run the risk of permanent    damage to your home. It is a job where you want to go slowly    and steadily. In climates where weather is unpredictable, you    may not have a good window of opportunity to work as slowly as    you would like, which would be another reason to hire a contractor for the job.  
    Once you have theroofthat you want, it's important    to maintain your investment. No matter whattype of    roofyou have, the key to the longevity relies on    maintenance and care. Maintenance should be done at least    semi-annually, if not seasonally. An inspector should walk your    roof slowly and inspect it thoroughly, as well as get rid of    all leaves, branches, twigs and any other debris. An electric    or gas blower does this job nicely. A roofingexpert will    look for things such as broken or missing shingles, shakes or    tiles, and make the necessaryrepairs.  
    Chimneys, roof-mounted AC units, roof-mounted solar panels,    dormer vents, heat vents, plumbing vents, and valleys and    crickets, are the main areas where you will find leaking. Your    roof will receive more abuse from the elements than any other    part of the building. Preventative maintenance will save you    money on your roof by providing a longer life.

    If you're looking to improve the look of your home without the    painting, vinyl siding is a popular, affordable choice. Many    homeowners and builders choose it because it's long lasting,    durable, inexpensive and relatively easy to install and    maintain. Vinyl comes in a variety of grains, thickness and    colours making it also a practical choice for many homeowners.  
    The proper tools, materials and equipment will make the    installation of your vinyl siding much easier. Listed below are    the most essential items:  
    1. Allow for expansion and contraction.    Vinyl Siding must be nailed so expansion and contraction are    not restricted. Siding must be cut in lengths to provide for    expansion. Allow a 1/4 in. gap for expansion wherever siding    butts accessories. Allow 3/8 in. when installing in freezing    weather (below 4C / 40F).  
    2. Choose the right nails.    Vinyl Siding must be nailed so expansion and contraction are    not restricted. Siding must be cut in lengths to provide for    expansion. Allow a 1/4 in. gap for expansion wherever siding    butts accessories. Allow 3/8 in. when installing in freezing    weather (below 4C / 40F).  
    3. Choose the right nails.    Allow approximately 1/16 in. between nail head and vinyl. This    will permit expansion and contraction as well as prevent    dimpling, which causes waves in siding. [fig. A]  
    4. Centre nails in slots.    Do not nail to the extreme right or left of nail slot in siding    panel. [fig. B]  
    5. Drive nails straight and level.    Crooked nails will distort siding panels, causing panels to    buckle. [fig. C]  
    6. Do NOT face nail.    Nailing directly into siding panel will restrict horizontal    movement and cause panel to buckle.  
    7. Never pull siding taut when nailing.    Pulling the panel taut stretches the panel out of shape and    causes an undesirable lap joint. Panels should be locked, then    pushed up from the bottom until full lock contact is made. Nail    into place.  
    8. Space nails properly.    Siding panels should be nailed 12 in. to 16 in. on centre.  
    1. Aviation & Tin Snip    Start cutting at the top interlock and continue toward the    bottom of the panel.  
    2. Utility Knife    Score panel with knife, then bend the vinyl back and forth    until it snaps cleanly on the scored line.  
    3. Power Saw, Bench or Radial Arm Saw    Use a fine-tooth blade with slow cutting movements. Reverse the    blade in the saw for extra-smooth cutting through the vinyl and    to reduce chipping.  
    In new construction furring is not usually necessary, but older    homes often have walls that are uneven. These walls should be    furred out to prevent a wavy appearance in the finished siding    job.  
    Horizontal Siding Installation Guide  
    1. Snap chalk line.    Find the lowest corner of the old siding or sheathing on the    house. Partly drive a nail 11/2 in. higher than the lowest    corner. Stretch a chalk line from this nail to a similar nail    at next corner. Be sure line is level. Snap chalk line and    repeat same procedure around entire house.  
    2. Installing starter strip.    Position starter strip with the top edge of chalk line and    allow room for corner posts. Nail to wall, following nailing    instructions in Important Installation Tips. When the wall    surface is uneven, shim out the starter strip to avoid a wavy    appearance in the finished siding job. Drive nails to remove    excessive play in starter, but do not nail tightly restricting    movement. As you add starter strip sections, be sure to leave    1/4 in. space between strips for expansion [fig. D].  
    3. Installing inside corner posts.    Inside corner posts are installed at the existing corners,    running from 3/4 in. below the bottom of the starter strip. If    vinyl soffit is to be installed, allow proper distance below    the underside of eaves for soffit installation accessories    (which vary according to the accessory used). Set corner posts    straight and true. Nail them to the adjoining walls, beginning    at the top, placing nails at the top of the uppermost nailing    slots, allowing the posts to hang on these nails. The rest of    the nails should be placed every 8 in. to 12 in. in the centre    of the nail slots. This will allow vertical expansion of the    corner posts. Do not nail tight.  
    4. Splicing inside corner posts.    If more than one length of inside corner post is required, make    a splice as follows: Cut 1 in. off all but the outer face of    the upper portion of the lower corner post. Then lay 3/4 in. of    the upper post over the lower post, allowing 1/4 in. for    expansion [fig. E].  
    5. Installing outside corner posts.    Position the outside corner post to allow 1/4 in. gap at the    top where the post will meet the eaves. Cut the post long    enough to extend past the bottom of the starter strip by 3/4    in. If vinyl soffit is to be installed, allow proper distances    (which vary according to the accessory used) below the    underside of the eaves. Attach the posts by placing a nail in    the top of the upper slot on each side. Posts will hang on    these two nails. The rest of the nails should be placed in the    centre of the slots, 8 in. to 12 in. on centre. This allows for    expansion and contraction to occur at the bottom. Do not nail    tight.  
    6. Splicing outside corner posts.    If more than one length of outside corner post is required,    make a splice as follows: cut 1 in. of the nailing flanges and    receiving channel stops away from the bottom portion of the    upper post. Then lap 3/4 in. of the upper post over the lower    post allowing 1/4 in. for expansion [fig. F].  
    7. Capping outside corner posts.    Cut 2 1/2 in. flaps as shown in Fig. G. Bend the flaps to close    off the post. A rivet can be used if needed.  
    8. Installing "J" channel around windows and doors.    Install "J" channel around all four sides of window and doors.    Install the "J" channel against the casing and nail it to the    wall, following nailing instructions in Important Installation    Tips. Do not nail tight. [fig. H].  
    9. Square corner "J" channel installation.    Cut and install bottom "J" flush with the sides of the window    casing. Install side "J" channels flush with the lower face of    the bottom "J" channel and with the top of the window casing.    Cut a tab in the bottom of the side "J" channels and fold    under. Cut and install top "J" flush with the outer face of the    side "J's". Cut and bend drain tab.  
    10. Mitering corners of the "J" channel.    Install bottom "J" channel to extend past side casing the width    of the "J"-face on each end. Cut out a 3/4 in. notch in the    back of each end and install. Cut a 3/4 in. notch in the bottom    of side "J" channels and bend tab. Miter bottom side "J" to    give a false mitered appearance when installed.  
    11. Installing first siding panel.    Snap bottom of panel into starter strip and nail to wall as in    Important Installation Tips. Begin panel installation at back    corner of house and work toward house front. Leave a 1/4 in.    space where panel butts corner post. Note: siding should be    lapped away from high traffic areas, i.e., doors, sidewalks,    etc.  
    12. Overlap joints.    Overlap each panel 1 in. to 11/4 in. of the factory pre-notched    cutouts. Last nail should be at least 10 in. from end of panel    to allow neat lap.  
    13. Installing balance of siding.    After completing the first course, work your way up. Start each    course at back of house and continue toward front. Stagger    joints properly, lapping them away from street and entrance.    Leave a 1/4 in. gap where panels butt corner posts and "J"    channel around window. Allow 3/8 in. when installing in    freezing weather (below 4C / 40F) [fig. I]. Note: For best    visual appearance, do not stair step or concentrate lap joints    too closely.  
    14. Fitting siding under windows.    When you reach a window, you probably will have to cut siding    panel to fit under the opening. Make this panel extend on both    sides of the window. Measure the panel to fit. Holding the    siding panel under the window, mark the width of the opening on    the panel allowing 1/4 in. clearance on each window side. Next,    lock a scrap piece of siding into the panel below, butting    against the window. Mark the height needed, allowing 1/4 in.    clearance below the sill. Measure both sides of the window    opening this way. Use the scrap piece as a guide to mark    horizontal cuts on the siding panel [fig. J].  
    15. Cutting siding to fit.    Make vertical cuts on the siding panel with saw or snips. Then    score horizontally with a utility knife and snap out section to    be removed.  
    16. Cutting siding around window.    Install undersill trim the width of the window flush to the    casing. Furring may be necessary to maintain proper pitch of    the siding. Using the snap-lock punch, punch the panel 1/4 in.    below the cut edge at 6 in. intervals. The resulting raised    lugs should face outward and will snap into undersill trim.  
    17. Fitting siding over windows.    Measure and cut panel to fit. Measure and cut panel in the same    manner detailed in step 14 but cut lower portion instead of    top. Be sure to check both sides for proper fit. Install panel.    Drop siding panel into "J" channel around top of window and    install.  
    18. Finishing top row of siding under eaves.    Nail the undersill trim to the sidewall, flush with the eave of    house. It may be necessary to fur out the undersill trim to    maintain proper pitch of the top siding panel. More than one    length of undersill trim may be required under the eave and    will need to be spliced.  
    19. Fitting top siding panel.    Measure and cut top panel to fit. To determine how much of the    top panel must be cut off, measure the distance between the top    of under-sill trim and the lock of the panel below, then deduct    1/4 in. Cut top siding panel to this dimension. The panel will    no longer have a nailing strip after cutting [fig. K].  
    20. Snap locking top panel.    Punch top panel with snap-lock punch. Insert cut panel into    trim and draw a line on panel where they meet. Using snap-lock    punch tool, punch the panel on top of this line every 6 in. so    raised material is on the outside face.  
    21. Installing top panel.    Lock bottom of panel into panel below and push top edge into    undersill trim. The raised slots will catch and hold the panel    firmly in place. DO NOT FACE NAIL SIDING.  
    22. Finishing top course under gable.    First nail "J" channel to sidewall flush with gable as    described in Important Installation Tips. If more than one    length of "J" channel is required to finish one side of gable,    a splice will be needed. To cut panels on proper angle, use two    scrap pieces of siding to make a pattern for cutting. Interlock    one panel with the siding panel below, hold the other piece on    top against the gable. Then mark a line on bottom piece and    cut. This piece is now a pattern for cutting panels to fit    along one side of gable. Follow the same procedure to make    pattern for other side [fig. L]. Lock pre-cut siding panel into    siding panel below and slide siding panel into "J" channel.  
    Note: Be sure to allow 1/4 in. expansion gap between siding and    gable end "J"; channel, and 3/8 in. in freezing weather.  
    1. Open eave installation.    For open overhangs use "F" trim which has been nailed to the    wall of the house. Using a level, make pencil marks on the    wall, parallel with the lower edge of wood fascia board at the    end of each wall. These are for reference points. From these    marks, measure up 7/8 in. and strike a chalk line. Along this    line install the "F" trim with its top leg on the chalk line.    This step is very important, because the "F" trim or "J"    channel forms the back support for the soffit panel.    Intermediate nailing supports should be installed on eaves over    16 in. in width.  
    2. Closed eave installation.    Install 1/2 in. "J" channel on inside wall and behind fascia    board. Measure distance between 1/2 in. "J" channels from back    edge to back edge. Then cut soffit panels according to these    dimensions to allow 1/4 in. clearance for contraction and    expansion. On panels over 36 in. allow 1/4 in. on each end. Use    solid panels, and for areas where ventilation is required, use    perforated soffit. After cutting panels to the desired length,    insert end into wall support piece ("J" channel or "F" trim).    Lining the panel up correctly, nail the panel to the existing    soffit through the nailing hem. After the first panel is    installed, insert locking leg of second panel into the    installed panel, covering the nailing hem. Fit the panels    together snugly to protect against misalignment. Intermediate    nailing supports are necessary on widths over 16 in.  
    3. Turning corners.    When turning corners it may be necessary to miter the soffit    panel to the proper angle. Use two 1/2 in. "J" channels    back-to-back to create additional support for the panels [fig.    N].  
    4. Closing soffit ends.    Use 1/2 in. "J" channel cut to length and installed on the ends    by nailing into overhang and fitting into "F" trim and "J"    channel supporting soffit panel. In applications using both    soffit and fascia, install frieze runner ("F" trim) on the    bottom of fascia board and complete soffit installation.    Prepare for installation of fascia panel by applying an    undersill trim along the top of the fascia board. Hook the    bottom lock of the fascia panel over the "F" trim, which is    already installed on the bottom of the fascia board. Then    insert top edge of fascia into undersill trim. Use a snap-lock    punch tool on the fascia panel to punch out raised slots every    6 in. so that the fascia is held firmly in place. Cut fascia    panel minus 1/8 in. For proper fit and appearance of fascia    panel, "F" trim and undersill trim should be run straight to    avoid waviness. It is recommended that a chalk line be used and    channels installed on a straight line. Warning: Do not    face-nail vinyl fascia panel.  
    To fabricate corner cap, cut piece of fascia 51/2 in. in    length. Mark vertical centerline on back cut. Cut out 90    section of bottom flange from centre, leaving 45 on each side.    Using hand seamer metal straightedge, fold along vertical    centerline to form right-angle corner. Top edge of corner cap    is punched with snap-lock punch tool. The corner cap is then    hooked onto the bottom ends of the fascia, and the top is    snapped into place in undersill trim [figs. O, P, Q].

      Lap siding is installed upward, starting at the bottom of the      wall.    
    Expert advice on how to install wood or fiber-cement    lap siding, including how to prepare exterior walls and lay out    siding for installation.  
    Also called horizontal siding or clapboard, lap siding, may be    made of wood, fiber-cement, plywood, hardboard, or similar    materials. Despite the variety of materials, installation    methods are basically the same, with a few variations in    fasteners, joints, and so forth. For example, you install    fiber-cement lap siding in much the same way as wood siding,    but most manufacturers advise you to leave 1/8-inch gaps at the    ends of the boards to allow for expansion and then caulk the    gaps. Always follow the manufacturers directions.  
    Most lap siding    is beveled, meaning that the bottom edge is thicker than the    top. As its name lap implies, an upper siding board laps over    the board below it by 1 to 2 inches. On thick profiles of    siding, nails may be hidden, meaning they are driven into the    upper portion of a board so they are covered by the lower part    of the board above it. Otherwise, nails may be left exposed and    covered by paint, in which case they are driven into the lower    portion of a board so they pass just above the upper edge of    the board below them.  
    If you are planning to paint your siding, its a good idea to    prime all the pieces on all sides before installing them; that    way, the backsides will also be protected against rot and the    boards are less likely to cup or twist. Always prime the cut    ends of boards before installing the boards.   
    In some custom installations, lap siding is carefully mitered    at outside corners. This makes for a classic look but calls for    very good carpentry skills and boards that are certain not to    shrink. The method discussed here is an easier and more common    oneinstalling corner trim first and then butting the siding to    it.  
    The walls should be stripped of all previous siding, and the    surface should be fairly smooth and flat because lap siding    will follow along any contours. Some 3/4-inch-thick patterns of    siding can be applied directly over wall studs. Thinner    patterns should be installed over a base of plywood or oriented    strand board sheathing. Staple a layer of house wrap to the    sheathing, working from the bottom up, and overlapping joints    by several inches so that any water that reaches it will shed    down the wall. Again, follow the manufacturers    recommendations.  
      Plywood sheathing provides a sound, flat base for lap siding.    
    Around windows and doors, install metal flashing before    applying the trim to be sure water will not infiltrate. Some    installers install vertical strips of roofing felt over the    studs; these help you locate the studs, and they help seal the    nail shanks to prevent moisture penetration.  
    Determine how the boards will look where they meet an eave at    the top. You may be able to install a trim piece there after    the siding is installed, or you may need to cut the siding to    fit precisely.  
    Determine the desired revealthe vertical width of the boards    that will be exposed. For instance, you may have 8-inch-wide    boards with a 5 1/2-inch reveal. If you buy siding that has    installation grooves, such as shiplap or bevel-rabbeted siding,    the reveal will be determined by the rabbet or the shiplap; you    simply stack boards on top to get a consistent reveal. On    non-grooved siding, you will need to make sure the reveals are    all equal by checking the spacing frequently or using a story    pole as described in Cutting &    Fastening Lap Siding.  
    In most cases, the siding will wrap all the way around the    house. The last boards must meet at the same level or the    installation will look unprofessional. This means you must    establish and mark a level baseline all of the way around the    house. Use a water level, line level, or transit level to make    these layout lines.  
    You may want to modify the layout so you have full-width boards    at the top of windows or doors, especially if you have a number    of windows at the same height. Be sure to work out this spacing    ahead of time. Here is an excellent video on exactly how to do    this: How to Make a Story Pole for Exterior Lap    Siding.

        One of the most    requested landscape features we get at Stone Age Landscaping    LLC are paver patios, walkways and driveways. Pavers offer many    benefits over concrete. They come in a variety of rich colors,    textures, and styles to fit your landscape design. Pavers are    much easier to adjust and repair than concrete slabs that tend    to crack over time. Theyre also aesthetically pleasing.    At Stone Age, well work with you to choose the right material    for your patio or walkway.  
    To properly install your paver patio or walkway, we excavate    the underlying soil and create a base of compacted crushed    gravel thats a minimum of four inches for regular foot traffic    and even more for areaswhere vehicles will be driving    over the pavers. A good low-impact tip is to keep the    excavated soil on-site rather than transporting it across town    as fill material. In some cases the underlying soils can    be amended with compost and used in planting beds.  
    The next step is to place a thin layer of bedding sand, which    proves a smooth, level surface for the pavers to sit on. We    then set the brick or stone pavers in the style that you like,    cutting pavers to fill gaps along the edges. We set edge    restraint systems around the perimeter to prevent settling and    spreading.  
    Once the pavers and edging are in place, we compact the pavers    down using a vibrating place compactor to ensure that the    pavers are set. Voila! Your patio is ready for you to enjoy. We    would like to say how happy we are to be a Certified Belgard    Paver and Retaining Wall Installer. Check out Belgard.biz for any Hardscape ideas    that we can do for your home.

    Looking for countertops that really POP!    Quartz has modern colors as well as the granite look-alike    colors and patterns, and many advantages over granite.    Quartz has bright colors, is virtually seamless, light weight,    almost indestructible, and worry free. This manufacturing    process uses raw quartz crystals ranging in size from coarse    grains to the size of rock salt. Once the quartz is ground and    selected, the crystals are combined with bonding agents (resin)    and color, then heated and vibro-compacted to form an    impenetrable surface. The resulting slabs are a matrix of 93%    quartz and 7% resin binders and pigments ... free of fissures    and cracks, and impervious to water, moisture, or bacteria.    Choose from Dupont Zodiaq,    CaesarStone, GEOS or SileStone for countertops that fit    your modern lifestyle. More about Quartz Countertops.
