Fall is in the air and many areas are already experiencing colder than normal temperatures. This is a great time to look around your home and look for ways protect your home, find ways to save energy and stay warmer inside.

Clean Out Gutters and Make Necessary Repairs to avoid damage to siding and windows.

Replace Door Seals to stop cold air from coming in and warm air from leaking out.

Check Your Water Heater and add insulation if needed.

Inspect Your Smoke Alarms to make sure your family will be safe and snug.

Many times we get caught up in our busy lives and some of the most simple home improvements can make a big difference in both our comfort and our pocket books.

Take a little time this fall to prepare your home for the winter months. You might be surprised at the difference you can make.

Need a little extra storage space or do you want to enclose your carport area? Install a garage door for increased privacy and security of your automobile and other stored belongings.

Garage doors come in hundreds of designs and styles. Most doors are composed of one of three materials: wood, steel, or composite. Regardless of the material chosen, any of them can add elegance and value to your home. Additionally, some garage doors qualify for energy tax credit due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Doors can be automatic or self-operating. Increase the value of your home while also providing additional security for items in your garage by installing beautiful garage doors.

For all of your home remodeling needs, DirectBuy offers a wide range of brand-name home improvement products to help you get the job done right and result in the look and efficiency you want – all at savings of up to 50% off retail prices.

Green Up Your Home Remodeling Project

We are hearing so much these days about people “going green”. Just what does it all mean? When it comes to making your home greener, it goes deeper than just your wall color.

Green environmental principals and standards really do exist. There are those out there who represent their products as green and better for the environment, but they really aren’t. This is known as greenwashing; someone is pretending to be more environmentally friendly than they really are.

During your home remodeling project, really pay attention to products labeled as green. There are programs which promote sustainability for areas of our home. When you are scoping out environmentally friendly applications for your home remodeling project, check out these organizations:

Forest Stewardship Council – which promotes the preservation and sustainability of our forests (furniture, flooring, cabinetry)

The Carpet and Rug Institute – which provides guidelines for products which emit fewer toxins (area rugs and carpeting)

These are just a couple of many organizations out there which are dedicated to helping us make smarter environmental choices. Do your homework and make sure you aren’t whitewashed by a greenwasher.
