Exterior Wall Insulation
 |
| Cellulose Insulation Visible Before Drywall!
We recommend that our clients invest in quality insulation products. The typical fiberglass batts do an adequate job, but with rising energy costs, we encourage moving up in efficiency to cellulose, blown fiberglass or icynene foam insulation. At UBuildIt, we will do the energy savings calculations, product pricing and payoff so you can make informed decisions in your specification and costing stage. |

Front Gable Ends
 |
| The cedar shake vinyl siding makes a wonderful addition to this house. The days of cheap and drab aluminum or vinyl siding are over! We have some wonderful choices of architectural siding including cedar shakes, scallops, board and batten, victorian and many other styles, in both light and dark colors. |

Front Porch

| Isn't This An Attractive Front Porch? |
| Don't stop with spicing up your siding. Make the front entrance to your home stand out with a maintenance free colored stamped concrete. We have every pattern and color you can imagine. Don't want stamped concrete...how about stained concrete, pavers, cobblestones, slate or cultured stone?

UNIVERSAL DESIGN - AGING IN PLACE - What is this?
Part I
Three doors down from their current home, John and Jane Doe are building a new house they hope will be their last. The one they live in now has many stairs and an elevated living room that already pose problems for many friends and visitors. The Does aren't ready to retire, but down the road, they don't want to be forced out the door due to accessibility issues.
Experts are predicting an avalanche of need for housing of this type with the retirement of the baby boomers. The boomers aren't there yet, but a recent U.S. survey suggests that people over 65 see a long-term care facility as a fate worse than death. Universal design could allow boomers and their parents to "age in place" in their own homes, as well as alleviating the strain on long-term care facilities struggling with a ballooning senior population.
So what is Universal Design? In simple terms it all relates to accessibility, safety and ease of use for people with disabilities due to injury, aging or conditions due to deteriorating health. Most visible in our society is wheelchair access but it goes beyond that, for sure. We will look more at the details of Universal Design and Aging in Place principles in the next couple of issues of this newsletter.
You may ask; should I be incorporating Universal Design in my new home or remodeling project? The answer is a resounding Yes! No one can predict whether you or a loved one will have disabilities in the future but for the relatively small effort and modest extra cost involved, it makes good sense. Also remember that, more than likely, you already have guests in your home with these needs and also don't overlook the positive effect it will have on resale value in the future.
In the next issue, we will take a closer look at what the first step in Universal Design looks like.
