Tips to help you choose your house color

Posted in FAQ at 10:13 am by admin

The names are enough to make your head spin. Choosing a paint color becomes even more baffling when you consider that most homes use at least three different shades — one for the siding and two or more for trim and accents such as doors, railings and window sashes.

A well-chosen selection of contrasting trim and accent colors can draw attention to architectural details and disguise design flaws. A poor selection can make a house seem flat and featureless — Or so garish that the color overwhelms the architecture. But, how do you decide?

Here are a few pointers to guide you as you choose house paint colors.

Historic Authenticity
If you are planning to paint an older home, you have three options.

You can hire a pro to analyze old paint chips and recreate the original color.
You can refer to historic color charts and select shades that might have been used at the time your home was built.
Or, you can fly in the face of history and choose bright modern colors to dramatize architectural details.

The third option can produce startling and exciting results. But before you buy 10 gallons of bubblegum pink, it’s a good idea to look at what your neighbors are doing.

Neighborhood Context
A fluorescent colored Victorian that looks splendid in San Francisco will seem wildly out of place in more conservative neighborhoods. Even if you are opting for a more subtle scheme, you’ll want to make sure that your colors are compatible with the houses next door.

Existing Colors
Your house is your canvas, but it is not blank. Some colors are already established. What color is your roof? Is there mortar or other siding that will not be painted? Will doors and railings remain their existing colors? New paint does not need to match existing colors, but it should harmonize.

Interior Colors
It may seem comical to paint entire house based on the pattern of a pillow case, but this approach does make sense. The color of your furnishings will guide you in the selection of your interior paint colors, and your interior paint colors will influence the colors you use outside. Once again, your goal is to harmonize.

Accents
Depending on the size and complexity of your home, you may be choosing two, three or as many as six colors. In addition to the color you select for siding, you’ll want to select accent colors for trim and details such as shutters, moldings and columns. This can be tricky, because too many colors will overwhelm your house and too few will make it seem two dimensional.

Darks and Lights
Light colors will make your house seem larger. Dark siding or dark bands of trim will make your house seem smaller, but will draw more attention to details. Darker shades are best for accenting recesses, while lighter tones will highlight details which project from the wall surface. On traditional Victorian homes, the darkest paint is often used for the window sashes.

Harmony and Contrast
Contrasting colors will draw attention to architectural details. But, extreme contrasts will clash and actually detract from details. To be safe, consider staying within a single color family. For some accents, try using a darker or lighter shade instead of a different color.

Balance
A burst of a single color on just one part of your home may give it a lopsided appearance. Strive to balance colors over the entire building.

Durability
The more intense a color, the more likely it is to fade. After a few years, vivid blues and deep reds will seem more subdued. Dark colors also pose more maintenance problems. Dark colors absorb heat and suffer more moisture problems than lighter shades. And because dark paint fades, it’s difficult to touch up.

Sheen
You thought you only had to pick colors? Sorry! In addition, you’ll also need to decide on the sheen of your paint — glossy, semi-gloss or flat. The glossier the surface, the more likely it is to show imperfections, brush strokes and touch up marks. On the other hand, glossy surfaces are easier to clean. Many homeowners opt to use flat paint for walls and semi-gloss or glossy paint for columns, railings and window sashes.

Color Deceptions
Color swatches look very different when they are brought out of the store and viewed in natural sunlight. Also, colors appear lighter on large surfaces than they do on small samples. It’s best to test your selected color in one area before buying gallons of paint.

Six Tips on Choosing the Right Roommate

Posted in FAQ at 6:38 am by admin

One of the joys of living with the right roommate is having a friend that you see every day, first thing in the morning and last at night. On the other hand, crazy roommates can make your skin crawl, your face turn red with anger and smoke blow from your ears. To avoid that,here are six tips on choosing the right roommate:

1. Find a similarly tidy roommate. Neat goes with neat, and messy goes with messy. For a roommate to be right for you, it’s important that they are roughly as clean or as messy as you are. For larger households–three or more roommates–the level of neatness tends to lean towards the majority preference, so avoid being the odd one out.

2. Find someone with whom you can discuss finances and money issues. This is essential. Because you’ll be splitting the bills on electricity, gas, cable, Internet and possibly furniture, you must feel comfortable enough with them to talk candidly about the size of the gas bill or whether premium cable channels are worth the cost.

3. Discuss your preferences for inviting friends over. How often do you like having people over? Do you mind if your roommate’s friends are at your apartment late? If you disagree over having people over all the time or letting friends sleep on the couch, it’ll be a source of tension.

4. Discuss how late or early you go to bed and how sound of a sleeper you are. Could you handle it if your roommate always had people over who talked loudly late into the night? What about an early-to-bed roomie who’s always yelling at you to turn down the TV to near silent levels? The right roommate should have a similar sleep schedule and / or noise preference as you.

5. Ask about pets. Don’t forget to find out what pets they have or whether they’re okay with your’s. Are they willing to help care for the animal, say, when you’re out of town? Also, discuss any allergies.

6. Choose a person for compatibility, not likability. Friends do not always make the best roommates. You see your friends on a limited basis, so neither of you have to deal regularly with each other’s idiosyncrasies. This would change once you became roommates, and your friendship could be strained as a result. So, make sure you’re especially honest about your lifestyle preferences when discussing rooming with a friend.

Tips on Being a Successful Landlord

Posted in FAQ at 10:14 am by admin

One key to being a successful landlord is taking the time to pick the best tenants and keeping the rental property maintained. If you do not have the time to keep up a property on your own, or if you own several rental properties, you can quickly become overwhelmed.

The tips provided below are the most common ways to ensure your success as a landlord.

1. Always check references. Recurrent problem renters are usually quite accomplished at giving a good impression and can fool even the most jaded landlords. Always ask for references and take the time to follow up on them.

2. Get it in writing. In order to protect your interests and the interests of your tenants, get everything in writing. This means everything from a rental application to a code of conduct. If a tenant needs to have something fixed in their dwelling, ask them to provide the request in writing in addition to telling you on the phone or in person. This will help you with you income tax deductions and create a history for each tenant.

3. Provide a clean and secure residence. Keep the grounds of the property clean and free of debris. This will help you with property liability and keep your rental property looking its best. Depending on the location of the rental property, you may want to provide extra security measures. This can help keep your tenants safe and secure, and may even lower your insurance premiums.
