At some point, wear and tear will dictate that your house’s paint job needs to be addressed. But who should you hire? Here are a few tips on hiring the right professional painter for the job: Why Hire A Pro? This job is typically too big, and might be too dangerous, for the average homeowner to tackle. Instead, look for experienced paint companies that specialize in exterior work. (Some painters focus solely on interior projects, so save those for when you need to update your kitchen.) Before reaching out to potential painters, take some time to familiarize yourself with the exterior surfaces of your home. Browse home improvement stores and design magazines to gather inspiration for your desired aesthetic. You might even consider gathering some paint samples to help underscore the kind of colors you prefer. Early Evaluation The cost of these exterior jobs reaches into Quick Tip: Stain your deck on a cloudy day - no direct sun means the stain won't dry too fast, giving you more time to work and ensuring an even finish! continued ▶▶▶ events@oceanpromotions.info • www.oceanpromotions.info Roland E.

Before inviting painters to assess your home, look for online reviews and neighbor recommendations. Get three to five pre-estimates for any work you plan on having done, and then carefully evaluate them. View examples of their previous work on other homes. Consultations And Quotes Reputable painters will visit a home to provide an individualized estimate. During this visit, they will inspect your paint job’s current condition while identifying any architectural challenges that may affect the project. This comprehensive evaluation helps them complete a more precise quote. Present your ideas regarding colors and seek their feedback. Their recommendations might include specific products or finishes that are more suitable for your local climate. Ask each paint contractor about their years of experience in the industry. Make sure they are properly licensed and insured, and ask about affiliations with professional associations. Pay close attention to their professional insights, but don’t be persuaded into choices that aren’t in line with your own budget or personal preferences. Following this discussion, the painter will provide a more detailed estimate. Review everyone’s quotes, paying attention to the variations among them, before making a final decision. Ask about guarantees on their work. Before hiring a painter, gather at least three estimates and evaluate their previous work to ensure they meet your needs.

62 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN The time and effort you put into preparation in spring can lead to a thriving garden for the rest of the warm months. So take the time now to plant bulbs, organize your garage or shed, repair and sharpen tools and get your compost pile going again. Here’s how: GETTING ORGANIZED If your garden shed isn’t heated or well-lit, you may encounter an unpleasant surprise or two when opening it back up for spring. The structure might have sustained damage from leaks or weather exposure. Rust can be an issue. Rodents or other small creatures may have taken up residence. When temperatures first begin to rise, inspect the shed and then get to work rectifying whatever issues you discover. GARDENING TOOLS Use a file to sharpen any tools with blades, including pruners, shears and loppers. Lubricate any tools with moving parts. If they’re still caked with mud from the last growing last season, wash them with a garden hose and then clean them in warm, soapy water. Next, use the same hose to thoroughly clean the wheelbarrow, then oil the wheels and tighten any loose bearings so it’s ready for the season ahead. OTHER TASKS Prune or remove any perennials that have become overgrown or congested. Replace outdated supplies since items like grass seeds may not remain viable over long periods of time. Take a quick look around to make sure you have plenty of any needed fertilizers and soil amendments for the upcoming year. If needed, consult with your local extension office to better understand the specific needs of your plants before they begin to sprout. EARLY PLANTING Now, you’re ready. Spring is the time to plant bulbs for them to bloom in summer and fall. Apply a fresh layer of mulch, too. Dyed mulches are generally designed to last for several seasons, but typically still need a slight refresh after the long winter. Mulching early will help with suppressing weed growth. It’s a good time to divide existing fall-blooming plants. Separating them now gives the individual plants time to re-establish in their new locations. They’ll start developing the robust root systems they’ll eventually need when temperatures drop again. Be sure to water newly divided plants well to help reduce transplant shock and encourage growth. Be Ready for Spring Gardening The time and effort you put into preparation in spring can lead to a thriving garden for the rest of the warm months.

66 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN Before You Mulch Every thriving flower bed starts with a solid foundation of mulch. It provides a big aesthetic boost, of course, serving as a showcasing background for your plants and shrubs. More importantly, mulch also suppresses weeds, retains moisture and enhances soil. The Right Time Apply mulch in the spring after planting your seasonal flowers and vegetables. Mulching around trees and other landscape features also enhances their visual interest. You’ll be putting the perfect finishing touch to your gardening efforts. Over the next few months, mulch will act as a protective layer that keeps weeds away. Into the winter, it prevents plant displacement while shielding delicate plants from cold weather. Once the mulch has fully decomposed, it’s time to refresh or completely replenish. Explore The Options There is a wide variety of mulch available for any type of flower bed or garden, including wood chips, bark, pine straw, rubber mulch, dyed wood, grass clippings and even newspaper. Select a type that complements the colors of your landscaping and home, and make sure it suits your local environment. If you choose dyed mulch, apply it during a period where it won’t rain for 24 to 48 hours to prevent staining nearby hard surfaces. Handling Mulch Wear gardening gloves when handling mulch to shield your hands from splinters and any dyes. Choose comfortable old clothing that you don’t mind getting soiled. If you have allergies, consider wearing a face mask for added protection. Use a wheelbarrow or cart along with a shovel to transport the mulch, and lift from your knees rather than your back. To complete the job, rake the mulch to create an even layer. Mulch Care If weeds begin emerging through the mulch, remove them manually or apply a weed and grass killer. Mold may develop in areas where the entire surface isn’t exposed to air and light. Gently turn the mulch and evenly redistribute everything. As the mulch dries, the mold should dissipate. Exposure to sun and rain will cause your mulch to fade and break down, but that’s part of its purpose to enrich the soil. Turning the mulch will also help maintain its appearance for a longer period. The time and effort you put into preparation in spring can lead to a thriving garden for the rest of the warm months.

70 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN How to Avoid Spring Allergens Spring brings blossoming trees, blooming flowers and the discomfort of seasonal allergies. Experts say more than 50 million Americans are affected every year. Pollen is one of the main culprits, followed by various grasses, mold and dust that cause us to sneeze, cough and rub our eyes. Unfortunately, there remains no cure for these allergies — but these key strategies can help mitigate some of the worst reactions: START BY DECLUTTERING As you begin spring cleaning, consider one of the most common allergens found in our homes: Dust. Decluttering can quickly reduce its accumulation around your home. Remove items like unworn clothing, piles of reading material and old rags. Dust your home regularly since HVAC systems tend to distribute these particles throughout our homes. Remember that everyone spends a considerable amount of time in the bedroom, so focus on making this a safe zone that’s free from allergens associated with clutter. In addition to dusting, regularly change out bed linens and pillowcases. DEEP CLEANING Spring brings an influx of pollen and other allergens into your home, and not just through open doors. Maintaining a clean and fresh environment also involves regular assessments of your home’s air. Consider investing in high-quality filters for your living areas. Local HVAC technicians may also have additional recommendations that will improve your home’s air quality. Bedding is particularly prone to accumulating dust mites and pollen. They can cause allergic reactions overnight while we are tucked in, or later in the day after attaching themselves to our hair or clothing. Wash your bedding in hot water at least once a week. AROUND THE HOUSE Next, look down. Give your carpet a thorough spring cleaning. For the toughest jobs, it may be necessary to rent a commercial carpet shampooer from a nearby hardware store or hire a professional cleaning service. Remember that some carpet types are more prone to trapping allergens and then releasing them into the air when disturbed. After a deep cleaning, make it a habit to vacuum at least once a week. Ensure that your air systems and ductwork are regularly cleaned. If any components are showing signs of wear and tear, dust and moisture can easily get inside your home. Decluttering can quickly reduce its accumulation around your home. Focus on making the bedroom a safe zone free from allergens associated with clutter.

72 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN Summer means spending more time outside and that extra time in your garden may mean you’ll see problems cropping up. Here are some common landscaping problems and how to solve them. Overwatering Overwatering plants leads to fungus and plant disease, spongy lawns and shallow root systems. Understand the watering requirements of the plants in your garden and carefully manage the amount of water you give your landscaping. Plant native plants to help minimize your watering needs and keep your landscaping looking healthier all year around. Bare Spots Bare spots in your lawn can be the result of soil compaction from heavy foot traffic, drought, disease, chemical burns, or weed Common Landscaping Fixes or insect infestation. To fix these spots, you’ll need to first determine the cause. If it’s foot traffic, install stepping stones or a pathway to keep pedestrians off the grass. If it’s weeds or insects, determine what you have before treating it. Once the yard is treated, you can start growing new grass. New grass can be grown from seed. Spread straw as a mulch to help keep the young grass moist and safe from foraging wildlife. You can purchase lawn patch products that contain seed, fertilizer and mulch blends. Sod is also an option; keep sod moist until you can install it. Make sure it’s level and makes good contact with the rest of the lawn. Poor Soil Quality Sandy, silty or soils rich in clay can adversely affect your landscaping. Clay-heavy soils tend to make it difficult for water to drain or create shifting issues. Clay is great for building on, but could be bad for your garden. Sandy soil allows water to pass through which makes it good for areas that need drainage improvement. You can amend your soil to help improve it. The experts at your local home and garden center can give you advice on what types of soil you have and how to best amend it for your landscaping. Erosion Erosion is when soil wears away from water and wind. This can cause loss of fertile topsoil and harm plants, walkways and other landscaping elements. Retaining walls can help hold back soil. Amendments such as mulch and plantings like groundcovers also help. Bare spots in your lawn can be the result of soil compaction from heavy foot traffic, drought, disease, chemical burns, or weed or insect infestation.

76 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN Caring for Patio Furniture Part of getting ready for summer is getting ready to spend more time outside, lounging in your patio furniture, enjoying the sunshine, visiting with friends and family or cooking out. Here’s how to keep your furniture looking fresh for years to come. Cleaning Regular cleaning plays a big role in caring for your patio furniture. For most materials, mild soap and warm water can work wonders. For some pieces, such as wicker or rattan, run a vacuum with a soft brush attachment over the furniture to remove any loose debris first. Rinse your furniture well to remove any soap residue. Let the furniture completely air dry before using it. While bleach may cure a variety of conditions, it’s not the best thing to use on patio furniture. Not only can it discolor fabrics and cushions, it can also weaken the fabric and shorten your furniture’s useful life. If you don’t want to use soap, vinegar is generally safe to use; make sure to spot-check whatever cleaner you’re using to make sure it doesn’t damage your fabrics and other materials. Clean your patio furniture once a month to keep it looking its best. Protecting Once your furniture is clean, protect it from the elements. Routinely check wood furniture for rotting, warping and cracking. Once repairs are made, seal it with a coat of protective sealant appropriate to the type of wood used in your furniture. Rattan furniture can be warped or discolored by exposure to moisture or humidity, so keep these pieces away from water sources and clean up spills or rainwater immediately. Periodically paint metal furniture with a rust-resistant paint. Store plastic furniture out of direct sunlight when it’s not in use to prevent fading or deterioration. Storage When you’re not using your patio furniture or during severe weather, store it in a dry, protected area such as a shed or garage. Store it off the ground and use furniture covers to protect it. If you don’t have an indoor storage option, consider using waterproof furniture covers to protect your investment.

78 | HOME +GARDEN HOME + GARDEN Pine cones serve as natural weather predictors, opening their scales in dry conditions and closing when humidity rises. This biological response functions as nature's hygrometer, with scales expanding and contracting based on moisture in the air. Early farmers relied on this phenomenon to forecast weather long before modern instruments existed. You can observe this process by bringing a pine cone indoors and watching how it responds to your home's humidity levels. Did you Know ?
