Remodeling your home is a decision that will have a lasting impact on your quality of life. However, finding a profes-sional remodeler that matches your needs and expectations is no easy task.
These professionals work in your home — the most intimate and private space you have.
Even with all the efforts of social net-working and personal advertising, meet-ing face to face with potential remodelers is still the best way to discover whether you click with a company.
Home-improvement and remodeling tours provide great ways to meet multiple remodelers in person within a single afternoon. It’s like speed dating for your home — focus on pursuing the profes-sionals that you feel best match your needs.
Attending the NARI Home
Improvement Showcase, to be held Sept. 17 and 18, will provide an intimate en-vironment where homeowners can view remodelers’ work firsthand. Touching a smooth countertop, seeing the details in the craftsmanship and observing the depth of the space are all valuable details for anyone thinking about a remodel. Additionally, knowledgeable staff will be available to answer questions in a low-pressure environment to discuss projects that you might be considering.
Following a few guidelines will help you get the most out of a home-remod-eling tour. 1. Don’t Limit Yourself
Even if your next project is a bathroom, don’t skip a house just because its project does not fall in the bathroom category. You might miss out on meeting a professional with whom you connect. Instead, focus on design elements you are drawn to within the projects. If you click with someone, companies have additional portfolios that provide examples of other work they have done. 2. You are the Priority
Central Ohio’s leading remodeling companies participate in home showcases to meet people with a keen interest in remodeling their home. Do you fall
into this category? If so, that means representatives of these companies want to meet you. Keep this in mind, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. These individuals have the information you’re looking for, and they want to share it with you. Plus, the more you interact with a company, the better idea you’ll have as to whether or not they are the right company for you. 3. Note What You Like
Whether it’s a bold glass backsplash, a creamy-gray granite countertop or welcoming smiles and patient answers, keep track of what you like at each home on the tour. Maybe you hate the floors, but love the cabinets. Focus on the positive rather than the negative.
It will make the overall experience more enjoyable. What you like always trumps what you don’t, so try not to judge a company based on another customer’s quirky selection.
No professional designer will force fuchsia tiles into your home without your consent. The key to viewing custom-remodeled homes is to understand that your room will be a space with your customizations, not your neighbor’s.

In order to have a suc-cessful landscape in the spring, you must begin
in the fall. This is important to help your plants survive harsh Ohio winters.
Many homeowners are unaware that, with a few simple steps, they can keep their landscaping healthy and ready for spring.
Lawns are the biggest at-traction in landscaping. For a homeowner who enjoys a lush, green lawn, fall preparation is extremely important. Your lawn builds its root system during
the winter. As such, the more you
prepare and give it attention now, the healthier and greener it will be.
1. Mow your lawn until it no longer grows. The final cut should measure one adjust-ment level shorter than normal. Leftover leaves will suffocate your grass, so make sure you remove them and bag them up.
2. Fertilize your lawn in November, as this will provide your grass the essential nutri-ents it needs to promote root growth over the long winter
months.3. Weeds also are preparing
for the winter season, so a weed treatment is very important to keep your lawn weed free in the spring.
The winter can be long and dry, and just as damaging to your plants as the summer’s high temperatures.
By following these tips, your plants will be ready for spring.
1. Make sure there are no bare soil spots, and the mulch depth should be 1 to 2 inches. This keeps roots insulated from extreme temperature changes
and retains moisture for the upcoming months.
2. Most plants, especially trees, will benefit from fall fertilization.
3. Keep watering plants until the last frost, as the winter can be extremely dry and harmful.
4. Avoid late-season prun-ing, the plants need time to harden off before frost to avoid damage.
5. Gently remove heavy snow from the plants, as dam-age could occur to cold and brittle branches.
Once the snow starts,

A GUIDE TO REMODELING RIGHT www.TRUsTNARI.ORG
keeping walkways and drive-ways clear is important. The best suggestion is to promptly remove the snow, as the sun will help dry out the hard surfaces. Sand always is great to use and will not damage the
pavement. Try to keep chemical use to a minimum. Over time, the chemicals can damage your hard surfaces.
Natural StoNe The least damaging chemical recommended for snow and ice removal is calcium magnesium acetate, but it may damage the stone with prolonged use over time.
However, prompt snow removal and the use of sand for traction is recommended, thereby eliminating the use of chemicals on natural stone.
PaverS If chemicals are needed, use extreme caution. Overuse will damage the pavers. If regu-lar chemical applications are needed, sealing the pavers in the fall is recommended.
CoNCrete Keep chemicals off concrete
wall stone commonly used for steps. They usually have half the PSI rating of pavers and, therefore, are less dense and more porous.
No chemicals should be used during the first year because the
concrete is still curing. Never use chemicals with ammonium. They are extremely harmful and will quickly disintegrate concrete.
Other deicing chemicals can be used under extreme condi-tions, use carefully and do not over apply. If chemicals will be used, keep up to date on sealing the concrete.
