  • As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to have chimneys cleaned at least once a year. Usually before cold weather sets in.

    Painting the Exterior of Your Home

    The wood on the exterior of our home badly needs some paint.  Right now the part that has not flaked off is white, but I wouldn’t mind changing the color to something different.  How do you pick?  The Minnesota Painting Company describes how to pick a color, how to match the architectural design, and how to find a painter on their recent post,

    You can choose different colors to accentuate the specific architectural designs and elements. These colors should contrast with the background color and add emphasis and beauty to your home. You can choose darker shades to add emphasis and lighter shades to show projections. However, remember to avoid stark contrasts as it takes away from the aesthetic value of your exterior painting.

    I’m thinking the color of a Fall leaf would go nicely with our brown brick.
