HOME ADDITIONS-Tips From your NJ Home Improvement Contractor


HOME ADDITIONS
Building a home addition can give you and your family the extra needed room that you have been looking for. As a NJ Home Improvement Contractor in Bergen County New Jersey, we have made custom room additions, home additions and home remodeling projects of all sorts and sizes. Are you interested in building an addition on your home? If so, here are a few items to think about.
ROOM ADDITIONS
Do you live in a home that needs a room addition or home addition. What type of addition are you looking to install? Well there are lots of questions we could ask you to pin point the exact type of room that will work for you and your family. Home remodeling these days usually consists of remodeling your home plus adding an addition of at least 400 square feet or more. We are seeing a huge trend in families adding multi level additions to their homes. What the rooms are usually comprised of is mostly the same from family to family. The multi level addition consists of a rear first floor family room and an upper bedroom addition. Most times the upper bedroom home addition will be a master bedroom suite. The suite will have walk in closets and a separate area for the master bedroom. The original master bedroom usually is the larger of the original bedrooms. That room usually gets downsized and renovated to allow an access hall into the new master bedroom suite.
ADDITIONS
Home additions can be an expansion of any existing room or the creation of an entirely new wing to your home. Whether you own a cape, ranch, bi-level, split level etc., you can add an addition to your home and enlarge that part of your home as long as it conforms to your local building department regulations. Kitchen expansions along with master bedrooms suites and family rooms seem to be the way that the home additions trend is moving in these days. The real estate market is dictating that it is harder to sell during these times so homeowners opt to take their homes off the market and go the route of  a home remodeling. A home addition will bring their home up to par and make it a more livable environment for many families.

HOW TO CLEAN BRICKS


When you think of using bricks for an exterior or even on the interior, no one ever realizes that just like any other material, you have to occasionally clean brick. Bricks are a very durable and considered an attractive product. This is one of the many reasons that people decide to install brick in their home. Every once in a while you will have to maintain brick and clean them.
One of the biggest ways brick get's dirty is from mold. When water splashes, mold eventually forms and spreads up the brick. The result is a greenish slime that spreads across the brick facade. The once beautiful stone texture is now beginning to look old and run down.
Another way brick gets dirty is from algae,  mildew and smoke. These stains can be resilient to clean if not handled properly. Another concern is discoloring of the brick when you are cleaning them. A rule of thumb is while cleaning your brick, prior to starting the entire surface, test a small area first. Test the small area and then let it dry. Look for any discoloring. If there are no changes in the color, then you will be safe to clean the entire area of brick.
There are several ways to clean brick. No matter what cleaner you use, always follow the manufacturer's directions. If the cleaner requires mixing, make sure you follow the mixing directions. If you decide to use detergent or soap and water solutions, these solutions will most probably work on bricks that are soiled with mud, dirt or plain soil.
Another common way to clean brick is to use a muriatic acid. For acid solutions, it is recommended that you have experience using this chemical. Always make sure that you have protective clothing and guard yourself from being exposed from the chemical. Mixing muriatic acid to the proper solution combined with water needs to be mixed exactly to the manufacturer requirements. There is a big misconception that adding too much muriatic acid will clean brick better but that is exactly the opposite. You may be harming the brick such as permanently staining it.
On the market now are products, premixed specifically formulated to clean bricks. These premixed brick cleaning products eliminate the need to mix potent chemicals. For those that want to clean brick, this is an easier solution. Many come in a spray bottle premixed. Spray the cleaner on, let stand for the required amount of time and wipe accordingly. You will find that  these premixed brick cleaning solutions are a much easier solution for those that want to clean bricks without wanting to mix various solutions.
