There are a lot of remodeling ideas that seem like a good idea but actually aren’t. This is particularly a concern for new homeowners and for homeowners who are remodeling their homes for the first time. In this article, Handyman Connection® of Winter Park will discuss some home improvement mistakes to avoid.
Painting Brick
Painting brick is a bad idea because brick needs to breathe. Paint chokes brick and can destroy it. If there’s moisture trapped in the brick, then the moisture will become trapped. Once your home goes through a freeze-and-thaw cycle the brick will degrade as the moisture inside it freezes. When bricks degrade, the paint starts to flake away. This looks incredibly unappealing.
Planting Trees Too Close to the House
You shouldn’t plant trees too close to your house for several reasons. If the tree is too close to your roof, then falling tree limbs can damage it. The leaves from a nearby tree can also cause your gutters to become clogged. Tree roots from mature trees can also weaken your home’s foundation and clog sewer and plumbing. You should plant small trees at least 8-10 feet away from your house and medium to large trees at least 30-50 feet away.
Removing Your Home’s Original Features
Your home’s original architectural features give it plenty of character and charm. During your remodeling project, you should aim to complement your home’s original features instead of replacing them. Preserving your home’s original details will set your home apart and make it more appealing to visitors.
