You did it. You finally decided to renovate your bathroom. You’re a little nervous but this reno is long overdue and you can’t wait to get started. Before you do, check out these bathroom reno oversights - so you don’t find yourself in the middle of a bathroom blunder.
Spring is finally here! We’ve made it through another winter and we’re ready for some warm, sunny days. But with those warm days, you’ll want to get to work - making sure your home is in tip-top shape for the new season.
Roof and Shingles
A good start is to inspect the shingles on your roof. You want to make sure none of them were damaged or blown off during the winter. If you find the shingles are curling, your roof is susceptible to leaking and you’ll want to replace them. While the frigid temps and blustery winter winds can wreak havoc on your shingles, the summer can be just as brutal. With temps climbing into the hundreds in many areas, as well as severe spring thunderstorms, your shingles can quickly end up cracking, buckling, and losing their granules. Many homeowners may not recognize it, but shingles get pretty roughed up from mother nature all year long. If shingle replacement is in your future, you can rely on Fischer Lumber to tackle this project with a large selection of GAF roofing products. Over 15 colors of limited lifetime warranty architectural shingles are in stock, ready for purchase and install.

Home remodels and updates is an ongoing trend that will never go away. As times and trends change, so will your home, especially if you want to keep it at the height of what is in style.
Many homeowners think of large-scale updates such as siding, windows, flooring, and entire kitchen and/or bath remodels. But have you ever thought about updating a more permanent fixture such as a staircase? If your staircase is boring, outdated, or lackluster, you could be missing a great redecorating opportunity. Don’t fret, this is easier than you think.
