A deck not only adds value to your home, it's a place where friends and family make summer memories with cook outs, 4th of July partys and any other summer time celebrations you might have. Before you invite your guests over for a backyard get-together, revamp your deck by staining it. Staining your deck will give it a fresh, new look by highlighting the wood's natural beauty. Also, staining your deck annually can help keep the wood in good condition, and it can provide a shield between the wood and the elements outside, like rain and sunlight. Check out some pointers on how to efficiently stain your deck for this summer season!

If you have seasonal or year-round allergies, consider taking heed of some of these hacks that will wipe those suckers out!  Image via www.pcdblog.com #1 Change Air Filters If you want your air filters to do their job, you must also do yours. Swap out your old filters on your heating and cooling systems with new, clean air filters. This step alone can make a big impact if you don't do this often enough. #2 Deal With Drapes If you're a fan of long, flowy drapes, great.

Some of the sub-contractors they used were also great to work with. Hamilton Building made our home-building experience memorable and we are very pleased with the result. We recommend their company to anyone interested in building. If we were ever to build again we would use their services. Thank you Hamilton Building Services!” -The Greczyn’s, NY
