When we install hardwood flooring, we install it right through to the kitchen. It used to be that installing hardwood in a kitchen was a big no-no. Not anymore (as long as you don't get the cheap stuff). Nowadays, hardwood is durable and can withstand activity in the kitchen.

Enjoying the cottage? Good. But don’t forget the basics.

Check for moisture, clear your gutters, and keep an eye out for damage. Small fixes now prevent big problems later.

One of the biggest waterproofing mistakes we see on our shows is partial waterproofing. It’s shocking how often we open up a bathroom or shower and find that only some areas were protected.

Siding isn’t just about looks—it’s about performance. I’ve seen brand-new siding fail because of poor installation, leading to moisture, mold, and repairs.

For a durable, low-maintenance option, check out Elite Cladding®, a premium cellular PVC siding.

One evening, Mike and Trina’s window was hit by an egg. Mike ran outside and saw a minivan driving away. He stepped out on the curb, and the minivan accelerated. The van mounted the curb and hit Mike on the left side of my body. He couldn’t get up.

When a contractor says you don't need a permit, that’s your first red flag. Skipping permits is one of the biggest mistakes you can make, especially when doing structural work.

-Don't compromise your family's safety by cutting corners.
