SAVING MONEY AT HOME !

Save money by doing simple maintenance yourself like painting etc. and hire licensed contractors for the more complicated tasks such as electrical wiring etc.

Use area rugs to protect carpets and hardwood floors in heavy traffic areas. If you have carpet in your house, never walk or let anyone walk on it with shoes. Walking on carpet with shoes will dramatically reduce the life of your carpet.

Preventative maintenance like applying a waterseal to fences and decks every year will save you money in the long run.

Make sure water from gutters is draining away from the house and that the ground around your foundation is elevated so that water is draining away from the house. This will prevent water and moisture problems in your house thereby saving you money.
